Recently, my family giggled through both Ghostbuster movies.
My book, How to Date Dead Guys, also deals with ghosts¾but none of them are slimy (at least, not at first…).
It occurred to me that the main character, Emma Roberts, is the opposite of a "ghostbuster". She's more of a "ghost-assistant". She helps them resolve their abruptly-ended pasts.
Which leads me to manipulate Ray Parker, Jr.'s original lyrics:
If someone drowns in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
Emma Roberts!
If it's somethin' weird an' it don't look good
Who ya gonna call?
Emma Roberts!
I ain't DATING no ghost
I ain't DATING no ghost
If you're still seein' folks when they should be dead
Who can you call?
Emma Roberts!
You find a corpse sitting near your bed
Oh who ya gonna call?
Emma Roberts!
I ain't DATING no ghost
I ain't DATING no ghost
Rather silly lyrics, don't you think? Weird Al needn't worry. I'll let him keep his job.
GHOSTS are a prevalent force in many movies
So Emma Roberts will have to do.
Unless you'd prefer Scooby Doo.
Makes you laugh like Ghostbusters,
Swoon like Ghost,
Worry and sweat like The Shining and The Sixth Sense,
And smile like Harry Potter and Scooby Doo.
