It’s basically like a live highlight reel of best slasher movie kills you love and many clips you’ve never seen. Cinefamily is doing a simular event in Los Angeles at the Silent Movie Theatre called Cinefamily’s 100 Most Outrageous Kills. The show is grouped in a double feature with Final Destination 2. Here is the official description:
And here is a trailer they put together for the event:

Saturday, October 30th 2010 at 7:30pm: American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre Presents Ghostbusters on 70MM. The print from Sony Repertory was blown up from the 35mm original in 1984, and is said to be the best known copy of the movie around today. So this might be the best way you can possibly see the film, especially judging from the horrible transfer from the recently released Blu-ray edition. Here is the official listing:
