From Back Cover:

Prepare to spend some quality "slime-time" with GHOSTBUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS 2, together for the first time in this exclusive DVD gift set! These spooktacularly successful films captured the imagination of audiences around the world - and redefined the action-comedy genre in the process. This gift set includes the two films, each with an assortment of otherworldly extras, and a deluxe Collector's Scrapbook, loaded with production notes, character sketches, insider info and more. Because when it comes to supernaturally classic comedy, who you gonna call?

When kooky, spooky college profs Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) lose their university jobs, they decide to go freelance, de-haunting houses in a new ghost removal service. As soon as they open their doors, their first order of business becomes saving beautiful cellist Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver), and nerdy Louis Tully (Rick Moranis), who've inadvertently opened the gates of hell...right in their own apartment building! The Paratroopers of the Paranormal swing back into hilarious action in Ghostbusters 2 when an underground river of ghoulish goo threatens to rot the Big Apple to the core. Saving the world has never been so outrageously funny!

From Back Cover:

Suit up for classic comedy! When Doctors Venkman (Bill Murray), Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Spengler (Harold Ramis) suddenly find themselves downsized from the University's parapsychology department, they decide to go the entrepreneurial route, chasing down ghastly ghosts, unappetizing apparitions and the occasional insolent succubae. But the paratroopers of the paranormal face their greatest challenge when the beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) discovers her refrigerator door leads directly to the gates of hell! Now with the whole world watching, it's up to the Ghostbusters to keep Manhattan from becoming a madhouse in this hilariously-haunting action-comedy!


My Comments:

I bought this set on a whim. Having not seen these films since childhood, I was in for a big surprise - they are full of raunchy adult humor. Now, it wasn't as shocking as, say, seeing Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the first time as an adult, but these are dirty, dirty movies. And damn funny.
