"I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there and all my data points to something big on the horizon." - Egon.
"What do you mean, big?" - Winston.
"Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds." - Egon
"That's one big Twinkie." - Winston.
It is lines like this and the chemistry between the film's stars, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramos , that solidify the importance and impact of Ghostbusters. The film is known for instantly conquering the Summer of 1984 with its catchy (and later controversial) theme song, it's fun jovial attitude and its delightful scares and thrills.

Thomas and Doc relive every moment, every thrill as they celebrate the film's 30th anniversary. Join them in the excitement.
