June is turning into an exciting month on Crackle for fans of the otherworldly. Their original horror film, The Clearing, launched on June 4. On June 12 they announced the U.S. premiere of another original, this time a film documentary, Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters, which will premiere on June 18.
About Cleanin’ Up the Town
Directed and produced by brother and sister team Anthony and Claire Bueno, Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters charts the making of the original 1984 Ghostbusters.
It features exclusive interviews with over 40 members of the cast and crew, including:
- Director Ivan Reitman
- Lead cast Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.
Over 10 years in the making, the documentary also chronicles the achievements made by the visual effects crew in creating the ghosts during the pre-digital age when special effects were still evolving.
Having a passion for ‘making-of’s’ and learning the craft of documentary filmmaking, director Anthony Bueno’s intention was to tell the definitive story on how the supernatural comedy film was created.
“The Cleanin’ Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters team and I are hugely excited to be premiering our beloved documentary on Crackle,” said Bueno. “We truly hope to enthrall and enlighten audiences, fans and filmmakers alike, as we reveal the wonderful personalities, incomparable talent and craftsmanship that went into making a film that captured the hearts of generations; Ghostbusters.”
“With this labor of love from Claire and Anthony Bueno, Crackle continues to bring original film documentaries to its viewers,” said Philippe Guelton, President of Crackle Plus. “Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters is a true celebration of one of the most adored, lighthearted comedies ever created.”

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
