Renowned comedy filmmaker Harold Ramis of Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters fame died Monday from complications due to a rare autoimmune disease.

Ramis, 69, was probably best known for writing and co-starring in Ghostbusters (1984) as the character of Egon Spengler. But he was an immensely successful comedy writer and director too, responsible for classic comedies Caddyshack (1980) starring Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray; National Lampoon’s Vacation starring Chevy Chase (1983) and Groundhog Day (1993), also starring Murray.

Thats what happens when you cross the streams...RIP to a comedy genius. If the worst thing you can say about someone when they die is that they made folks laugh...thats a life well spent...

Dammit, this is end of the world type stuff. Ramis dying at 69, fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together.
