    It’s Halloween night and the Ghostbusters are preparing for the festivities when they get a call about a witch problem.  They head out to the address only to find a witch plotting the end of all things…and multiple clones!  With their blasters only creating more witches, the Ghostbusters have to figure out how to stop the evil witches and change Peter back from a frog!

“The Return of the Grudge Gremlin!”
    All Winston wants is a little sleep, but the dripping faucets keep him awake.  He turns them off, and they just turn right back on.  Suspecting supernatural play, Winston gears up and discovers…the Grudge Gremlin!

“Winston’s Diary: Grudge Match!”
Thursday, December 15th, 1988
    Winston and Ray head to an office building to deal with a poltergeist disturbance.  Sifting their way through the weirdness around them, they discover that the disturbance isn’t being caused by some random poltergeist.  Rather, it’s Winston’s old friend: The Grudge Gremlin!

“Nobody’s Slimer!”
    Slimer has slimed once too often.  The Ghostbusters are all agitated at their slimy houseguest, causing him to run off believing nobody loves him.  Now all alone, he seeks residence with other people thoroughly unprepared for him as a resident!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer heads to the fridge for a snack, but doesn’t expect to find what he does when he opens the door!
