Ghostbusters fans have set a new Guinness World Records
title for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Ghosts at a Single
Venue. The event was organized by Sony
Pictures Entertainment in anticipation of the release of Ghostbusters, the
hotly anticipated reboot of the classic film. Around the globe, the film will
roll out from mid-July through to August.
Fans of the beloved franchise came to the event at The
Event Plaza at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore dressed as ghosts, cleverly
incorporating the franchise’s familiar “no ghost” icon into their outfits. An
adjudicator for Guinness World Records confirmed that a total of 263 people
dressed as ghosts claimed a new title for Largest Gathering of People Dressed
as Ghosts at a Single Venue.
Commenting on the announcement, Ghostbusters director
Paul Feig said, “Seeing this many people get their ghost on and set a Guinness
World Records title is a true testament to this amazing franchise that Dan,
Harold and Ivan created 32 years ago.
Fortunately, I ain’t afraid of no ghosts because we were up to our
armpits in them. Ghostbusters of the
world, gear up!”
Rishi Nath, Guinness World Records Adjudicator, added,
“We are incredibly impressed the fans’ dedication to Ghostbusters as well as
their sense of adventure and fun. It’s
official – this is a fantastic achievement!”
Following the announcement, fans attended a gala
red-carpet event and were joined by Ghostbusters star Melissa McCarthy and
director Paul Feig. Set against the
spectacular Singapore skyline, the excited fans were treated to a bit of
Hollywood magic in anticipation of the upcoming action-adventure tentpole
movie.
