One by one, they compete through the night, putting their own fairytale spin on infamous spine-tingling tales that everyone knows and loves! The last one to be scared Shrekless wins.

Forced out of academia, they start their own business. Doctors Venkman, Stantz and Spengler set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, haunts and poltergeists for money. But even the spirit exterminators are severely tested when beautiful Dana Barrett and her weird neighbor become possessed by demons living in their building. Soon every spook in the city is loose and our heroes face their supreme challenge. Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver.

Ghostbusters II (1989)
Saturday, October 29 at 7 p.m. ET/PT

It is precisely eight-month-old Oscar, whose baby carriage mysteriously rolls off on its own, who prompts Dana to get in touch with the Ghostbusters to make a desperate plea for help. With a strange feeling about her co-worker – intense, quirky art restorer Janosz Poha – she realizes that the supernatural has once again invaded her life.
