text: It will have a 'Ghostbusters' processional down Gay Street, a VIP screening of the new film at the Regal Riviera theater and an after-party at Scruffy City Hall on Friday.
  Saturday's events will include local filmmakers in Market Square getting shots of people in 'Ghostbusters' cosplay and attire, trivia, a tribute to actor Harold Ramis (1984's 'Ghostbusters,' 1989's 'Ghostbusters II'), a ghost hunting panel, a screening of 'Historic Haunting: A Paranormal Study of Ramsey House' and two Haunted Knoxville ghost hunting tours.
  The panel will feature special guests and paranormal experts Brandon Kreitzer, Amy Farley and Zana Lowe along with Smith, a paranormal historian. Attendees will get a hands-on experience on the tours, which will be led by Smith, and use paranormal equipment while learning the haunted history of Knoxville at the same time, according to Smith.
  The East Tennessee Ghostbusters will come to Knoxville in their Ecto1 vehicle and cosplay to pose in photos with fans. Smith is encouraging attendees to dress up like characters from the films during the event.
  '(We're) just creating a great opportunity for people that are local and tourists ... to be able to join us and have some fun and learn a lot and enjoy a lot, and what's better than watching 'Ghostbusters' with ghostbusters, right?' he said.
  Smith said he wants to reach out to the community with the event, help the JDRF and create a memorable experience for everyone who's a part of it.
  'I'm a closet ghostbuster geek. I love the ghostbusters and got the collectibles and just have been literally looking forward to 'Ghostbusters' coming out after so many years,' said Smith. 'It's just a great opportunity to kind of be a kid again and enjoy the ghostbusters and all that.'
  Prices for the event vary depending on the ticket package that's purchased, and Smith said to reserve tickets early because they are limited.
