On Saturday November 21st, 2009 was our two screenings of the original "Ghostbusters" at MadCap Theaters in Tempe, AZ. MadCap is a local community non-profit theater dedicated to concerts and showcasing rare and classic films. It took alot of planning and help from sponsors to get the screenings together and heavily promoted.  The sponsors were able to get some great raffle items. The raffles at the screening will benefit the families of the local Children's Cancer Network and will help give them a great holiday season. We were able to get in contact with Sony pictures directly and recieved permission to use their promotional 28ft Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man balloon at the screening. 

The big chore of the evening was setting up Stay-Puft. It took all of us to get him out of his case, spread out, zipped up, blowed up, and tied down. The Ecto-AZ was parked next to Puft. We set our raffle booth up inside to display the auction and raffle items. The soundtrack was played in the lobby as well and inside the theater we showed a slideshow of movie facts and behind the scenes pictures. Before the film started they showed the trailer and then the Ray Park Jr. music video. During the music video we tossed out Stay-Puft Marshmallow bags and Twinkies and got the audience to sing along with the song. After the video we handed out the raffle items.

The theater had a record turnout for a screening. Our raffle items raised $300 and the Real Ghostbusters toy lot fetched $100 in the silent auction. We had several kids come in costume as well as several local fans. It was a great night and we had an awesome response from the attendees. Alot of the parents were recalling the first time they saw the film and were then showing it to their children for the 1st time in the theater. We're already planning our next screening with the theater and can't wait for it.
