On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Saturday Morning Cartoons United will present Giving Back with The Real Ghostbusters: A 40th Anniversary Celebration, a special charity event celebrating four decades of the beloved animated series as part of the spirit of Ghostbusters Give Back, the franchise’s commitment to using the power of Ghostbusters fandom to support charitable causes and communities.
The afternoon will feature a special live script reading of The Real Ghostbusters, featuring original cast members Maurice LaMarche (Dr. Egon Spengler) and Laura Summer (Janine Melnitz), alongside an exciting lineup of performers and special guests including Eric Bauza, Jonah Ray, Rob Schrab, Phil LaMarr, Kevin Mangold, Laraine Newman, Jessica DiCicco, Aaron LaPlante, and Brock Powell, with Derek Mears (Friday the 13th) as the Boogieman. Together, they’ll bring the voices and spirit of The Real Ghostbusters back to the stage for a one-of-a-kind 40th anniversary celebration. The reading is cast and produced by Patrick Cotnoir (The George Lucas Talk Show, Hey, That’s Me! A Commentary Podcast).
The event will also feature a special live musical performance by The Flux Capacitors Band, including a performance of the iconic The Real Ghostbusters theme song. The performance will celebrate the music that helped make the series an unforgettable part of the Saturday morning television experience.
In addition to the live script reading and musical performance, the celebration will feature a special screening of The Real Ghostbusters as well as an independent animated short, McBusters, created by Myke Chillian. Inspired by the world and spirit of The Real Ghostbusters, the animated short offers an additional celebration of the creative influence the franchise has had on generations of artists and animators.
Presented by nonprofit Saturday Morning Cartoons United in collaboration with Sony Pictures, Ghost Corps, and Ghostbusters Give Back, the event will bring fans, performers and the animation community together for an afternoon of nostalgia, celebration and purpose. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit Starlight Children’s Foundation, a national nonprofit with a mission to deliver happiness to seriously ill kids and their families through programs – including character-themed hospital gowns – provided free of charge to children’s hospitals nationwide.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the Saturday Morning Cartoons United team and the Ghostbusters community for coming together to help us transform the hospital experience for young patients, bringing moments of fun, happiness, and normalcy to an unfamiliar environment,” says Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight Children’s Foundation. “The funds raised from this event will provide more programs like our Ghostbusters-themed Starlight Hospital Gowns to children’s hospitals nationwide, helping kids feel like Ghostbusters themselves as they take on the challenges of a hospital stay.”
Originally premiering in 1986, The Real Ghostbusters became one of the defining animated series of its era, expanding the world of Ghostbusters for a generation of Saturday morning viewers. With its memorable characters, distinctive humor, unforgettable music and beloved voice performances, the series continues to have a devoted following 40 years later.
The event will take place at Dynasty Typewriter, located at 2511 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, on Saturday, October 3, 2026. Doors open at 1:00 PM, with The Flux Capacitors performing a full one-hour set from 1:00–2:00 PM, followed by the main program from 2:00–4:00 PM.
