5 THINGS ABOUT GHOSTBUSTERS 1. Ghostbusters hit movie theatres 35 years ago. It became the highest grossing comedy of all time (until Home Alone in 1990) and earned two Oscar nominations, including Best Original Song. 2. T he score was composed by Elmer Bernstein, who brought in a musician from England to play the ondes Martenot — the keyboard equivalent of a theremin — that created the music’s ‘eerie’ effect.

3. Actor Bill Murray wasn’t the first choice for his role, and at one point, the film’s working title was ‘Ghostsmashers.’ The title changed and Murray, who ad-libbed most of his lines, got the part.
