8 ‘80s Movies That Would Secretly Make Great TV Shows
1. Ghostbusters
Yes, there was the animated series The Real Ghostbusters, but the irony is that it was anything but 'The Real' Ghostbusters.
Ghostbusters the live action TV show almost writes itself. Self-contained episodes with a new haunting to tackle each week; like the X-files but with more humour. Though you could argue Supernatural has already tackled that format, Ghostbusters could lean more on fan nostalgia and something that was somewhat ditched in favour of more left-field laughs in the recent remake; genuine horror.
What the animated series and the 2016 version lacked, was the darkness and actual scares of the original films. Ghostbusters played more like a horror comedy than a comedy about ghosts. This is something that a new TV show could revert back to, and provide a unique tone of not aiming for 'lol' moments, but allowing the horror to be the main skeleton of the show.
