Outdoor screening of 'Ghostbusters' at the Indianapolis Art Center as part of the Kan-Kan Outdoor Film Series.
Ghostbusters is playing outdoors at the Indianapolis Art Center on Thursday, October 22, as part of the Kan-Kan Outdoor Film Series. It's a screening of the original movie, the one with the proton packs and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, showing under the open sky rather than inside a theater.
Since it's an outdoor screening, the whole thing depends on the weather. October in Indianapolis can swing from a mild autumn evening to something a bit colder, so you'll want to bring a blanket or a chair and dress for the temperature. The film runs from 6 PM to 9 PM, which means it'll start while there's still some light and carry through into the dark, just as the movie's ghosts start appearing. It's a good time for a movie night with friends or family, especially if you're in the mood for something light and nostalgic as we get closer to Halloween.
If you've seen the movie a dozen times, it's still a different experience to watch it outdoors with a crowd. There's something about the setting that changes how a movie lands, and Ghostbusters—with its mix of comedy and supernatural chaos—works well in that kind of environment. The screening is part of the Kan-Kan Outdoor Film Series, which brings movies out of the cinema and into the city's open spaces.
