Secret Cinema Announces GHOSTBUSTERS: THE GATES OF GOZER Live Virtual Event
Secret Cinema is back with another screening event! This one will be a live virtual event for the Ghostbusters franchise and they are calling the event Ghostbusters: The Gates of Gozer. Obviously the event is in conjunction with the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Before the pandemic, Secret Cinema would hold live, in-person immersive events for films and TV shows. They’ve previously hosted events for Back to the Future, The Empire Strikes Back, Stranger Things. Fans would show up dressed as their favorite characters, they’d go all out on the decorations, there are activitiess, and it just looks like such a cool experience. I’ve always wanted to attend one.
Here's the official description for the upcoming Ghostbusters: The Gates of Gozer Secret Cinema live virtual event:
"Travel back to the '80s and experience never-before-seen storylines based on the original film in this live virtual adventure. Get ready for the jaw-dropping detail of any Secret Cinema event, brought to you online and to a whole other level!

The world needs saving and you're the one for the job!
