When I was a young, I didn’t know what I was going to do for living, but one thing I knew for sure. I planned to be a #GhostBuster after I retired. I’m still working, but I keep that thought in mind when I write my horror stories. Farewell #IvanReitman and thanks @JasonReitman pic.twitter.com/cuBdskVvck
