The feeling that I had clung to it that even though it was so funny, it shocked me so much. He explains that it was my first experience with a horror film.
I was in a meeting of Directors and it so happened that I was sitting next to Steven Spielberg – when I told him I was working for the Ghostbusters, he immediately said, “Library Ghost – the ten highest fears of all time.” And it is true.
