About this sound

✦ AI

The iconic Ghostbusters theme snippet from the 1984 film, with its catchy synth melody and call-and-response hook, used in Halloween videos and spooky edits.

This clip captures the instantly recognisable opening of the Ghostbusters theme, driven by a bouncy synth bassline, bright electronic chords and the playful chant that asks who you are going to call. It sounds upbeat, mischievous and a little spooky at the same time, building quickly from its quirky rhythm into a melody almost everyone can hum along to. Hearing it instantly puts listeners in a fun, nostalgic mood, signalling ghosts, pranks and light-hearted scares rather than real horror, which is why it works so well as a punchline, intro or transition in short videos.

The Ghostbusters theme was written and performed by Ray Parker Jr. for the 1984 comedy film Ghostbusters, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as paranormal investigators in New York. The song became a huge chart hit and its famous question-and-answer hook entered everyday pop culture, quoted in sequels, cartoons, commercials and Halloween playlists for decades. Because the melody is instantly tied to ghosts and goofy heroics, creators still reach for it whenever they want a quick, recognisable signal for spooky fun.
