A nice issue on the 1st week (2nd Friday) premiere of the motion picture hit "Ghostbusters" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
Within section V are full page advertisements for the 1st week (2nd Friday) for both movies. It premiered the previous Friday.
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections A and V totaling 52 pages, nice condition.
background: Ghostbusters (1984) is a classic supernatural comedy directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson. The film follows three eccentric parapsychologists in New York City—Peter Venkman (Murray), Ray Stantz (Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler (Ramis)—who start a ghost-catching business after losing their university jobs. Using homemade proton packs and other quirky ghost-fighting technology, they tackle a sudden surge of supernatural activity caused by the ancient Sumerian deity Gozer. The movie mixes clever humor, memorable one-liners, and impressive (for the time) visual effects, particularly in the iconic scenes of ghosts wreaking havoc across Manhattan. It also features Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett, whose apartment becomes the center of Gozer’s plan, and Rick Moranis as the bumbling neighbor Louis Tully. The film’s theme song by Ray Parker Jr. became instantly recognizable and helped cement Ghostbusters as a cultural phenomenon. Its success led to sequels, an animated series (The Real Ghostbusters), and a lasting influence on pop culture.
