In real life, Harold Ramis, the man who played Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters movies, died in 2014.

I’ve been dying to see the horror-comedy Freaky ever since I saw the trailer for it back in the Fall. It hit theaters on Friday, November 13, 2020. I was hoping it would also release to VOD at the same time, but it didn’t. However, three weeks later it has.Continue Reading
