Harold Ramis was one of Hollywood’s most successful comedy filmmakers when he moved his family from Los Angeles back to the Chicago area in 1996.

I seem to recall that he was also a writer on “Animal House.”

Not "inflation," but INFLAMMATION! His effected his blood vessels, but other examples of auto-immune inflamation diseases include rheumatoid arthritis and crohns disease. None of these are something about which to joke.

He and two others wrote the screenplay.
I will never watch that movie again because of John Landis.
He has the blood of three people on his hands and has never owned up to what he had done. He is a cretin.
He reminds me of a nerdy math or science teacher. He had that look,lol.
