Ecto Cooler better be coming back. Forever.

The original Ghostbusters hit theaters on June 8th, 1984, which has resulted in the 8th of June being appropriately christened Ghostbusters Day. The first ever celebration took place last year, ahead of the release of Paul Feig’s franchise reboot, and it included the original and reboot casts appearing together on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as well as the original movie being re-released into theaters, among other fun happenings.

What’s in store for Ghostbusters Day this year? Paul Feig just teased over on Twitter that he’ll be “unveiling something fun,” though he was quick to clarify that it’s “smaller fun” than the announcement of a sequel to last year’s reboot. It’s likely that he’ll never get the chance to make a sequel, but one has to wonder what he’s got up his sleeve for tomorrow’s celebration.

In addition, a live Q&A with Ernie Hudson and Ivan Reitman will be held on Facebook tomorrow at 11am PST, along with the trailer premiere for Ghostbusters VR Act 2: Showdown. Giveaways and other fun surprises are also in store for all of us GhostHeads, so you’re going to want to keep your eyes locked on the GhostCorps Facebook page.

Could we finally see the long lost, never before seen “Fort Detmerring” deleted scene tomorrow, as teased earlier this year? Here’s hoping!

New ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Movie in the Works from Director Lindsey Anderson Beer

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
