Regardless of how you feel about this year’s Ghostbusters reboot (yeah, I know many of you reading were probably among the legions who took to YouTube to dislike the trailer), you can’t deny that the original was a masterpiece. A masterpiece that’s getting its due, as it’s being re-released in theaters next month.

Get your tickets here, and get the skinny below…

From the Press Release:
Tickets are now available for audiences to revisit Ghostbusters (1984) in select U.S. cinemas on Wednesday, June 8 – the anniversary of the original release date – and Sunday, June 12, at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time (both dates). The classic film is being re-released in anticipation of the worldwide release of Ghostbusters (2016), starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth in theaters July 15. These special screenings of the original film include an exclusive sneak peek of the highly anticipated new Ghostbusters.

Tickets for Ghostbusters (1984) can be purchased online by visiting FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 830 movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network.

After a team of underdog scientists (Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray) lose their cushy positions at a university in New York City, they decide to set out on their own and become “ghostbusters,” waging a high-tech battle with supernatural spirits taking up residency in New York City. In their paranormal investigations, they stumble upon a gateway to another dimension – a doorway that will release evil upon the city – and the ghostbusters must now save the Big Apple from complete destruction.

Released in 1984, the original Ghostbusters was directed and produced by Ivan Reitman, written by Aykroyd and Ramis, and starred Murray, Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Ramis, Rick Moranis, and Ernie Hudson. Following these special screenings, the classic Ghostbusters will go back into the vault until the release of the new film.

“Before the new Ghostbusters hits theaters, there’s no better way to get excited than by seeing the original back in its home on the big screen,” Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations Tom Lucas said. “Fathom Events is bringing this classic re-release to audiences all across the country, and we are thrilled for fans new and old to see it in its original glory with special added content.”
