For those chronically online bingers, the internet is abuzz with the curious existence of a Living With Ghosts movie. But strangely enough, no one has an exact answer, except for a Melissa McCarthy modern classic. Instead of getting into the rabbit hole and mistaking it for other supernatural movies, delve into one of the most well-known ghost tales ever told in films.

It is a paranormal comedy that deftly mixes humor and supernatural thrills. Without further ado, pick this eccentric ghost-catching epic for your next watch.

There is no Living With Ghosts Movie starring Melissa McCarthy. The trend originated from a misleading Facebook post from Best Movie Forum, which claimed that a 2025 movie under the title has cast McCarthy, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Paul Rudd, and Octavia Spencer.

However, there is an all-female reboot of the perennial 1984 supernatural comedy classic, called Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, released in 2016. Directed by Paul Feig and co-written by Katie Dippold, the film features a lineup of A-list stars in unique roles.

Melissa McCarthy takes the lead as Abby Yates, an eccentric ghost researcher, who is partnered with physicist Erin Gilbert, played by Kristen Wiig. Their team is joined by engineer Jillian Holtzmann, played by Kate McKinnon, and MTA staffer Patty Tolan, portrayed by Leslie Jones, in confronting the supernatural threat.

In addition to the main cast, Chris Hemsworth plays the role of the comically incompetent assistant Kevin Beckman, shedding his Thor image. Meanwhile, the film also features Neil Casey as Dr. Rowan North, a mad scientist and occultist, Andy García as Mayor Marth Bradley, Cecily Strong as Jennifer Lynch, Matt Walsh as Agent Henry Rourke, and Ed Begley Jr. as Ed Mulgrave Jr. 

The likes of Charles Dance and Michael K. Williams also appear in small roles in Ghostbusters (2016). This remake, and not the FB-claimed fake movie, sheds new light on the classic ghost-busting tale, placing it in a modern frame with character chemistry and slapstick humor being the main ingredients besides the ghostly chaos. 

What Is 'Home for Christmas' on Netflix? Is It Worth a Watch?

Expecting streaming options for a Living With Ghosts movie might be impossible, but that is certainly not the case for Ghostbusters 2016.

Ghostbusters (2016) traces the paranormal investigator Abby Yates and physicist Erin Gilbert, who had previously conducted similar research together, now want to prove the existence of ghosts that have taken over New York City. They enlist their lively group with their proton guns and also with their good humor. 

The story focuses on the four eccentric women, leading the charge with the help of modern technology, unlike its original 1984 counterpart. The film offers a new perspective, though the nostalgic fans' opinions may vary.

Ghostbusters can be rented or viewed digitally almost everywhere in the US. However, it is only sometimes available on Netflix in limited regions, as per their licensing agreements. At present, Ghostbusters is available on Hulu, Disney+, The Roku Channel, Amazon Video, and Apple TV.

While the movie Living With Ghosts might not exist, the timelessness of Ghostbusters, especially the version with Melissa McCarthy in 2016, offers a comic ghost hunting comfort like no other.
