'Ghostbusters' Halloween Treat Again Given By Western PA Eatery

MONONGAHELA, PA — Who you gonna call if you're once again looking to see what almost certainly is southwestern Pennsylvania's most impressive Halloween display? You're gonna call Angelo's II, an Italian restaurant in a small town about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh, where the portions are nearly as large as the inflatable Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man occupying the eatery's roof.

Angelo's owner Ryan Dzimiera started a tradition of setting up eye-catching gargantuan holiday displays in 2018, when he put a giant Santa Claus on the roof of his building for the Christmas season. Displays for Easter and Halloween soon followed.

Dzimeiera telegraphed that he was a fan of the 1980s "Ghostbusters" movie franchise by putting the Marshmallow Man on his roof and having large green tentacles custom-made to protrude from about a dozen second- and third-story windows of the restaurant building.

It's especially appropriate to put up the display again this year, as the latest iteration of the franchise, "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," opens in theaters next month. The film, which introduces a new generation of teen ghostbusters, has received generally favorable reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes.
