“Skeleton in the Closet”
    Young John is troubled by monsters in his closet, but his father refuses to believe him.  So he takes it upon himself to call in the Ghostbusters.  Sneaking them in, they enter the closet and find themselves in a Dead Zone surrounded by zombies.  Their only chance is to make it back to John’s bedroom before they completely surrounded by the closet-cases!

“Winston’s Diary”
Friday, February 3, 1989
    The Ghostbusters are called out to Central Park to deal with a rash of spooky snowmen believed to be involved in the kidnapping of about 2 dozen people.  They’re greeted by a hailstorm of snowballs, and when Peter goes to investigate he gets possessed by one of their foes.  The Ghostbusters beat a hasty retreat only to be surrounded by more snowmen, most likely containing the missing people.  It’s up to them to figure out how to beat the snowmen without harming their victims inside…and without ending up on ice themselves.

“Ghost of a Chant!”
    A couple is kept up at night by inhuman chanting from their son’s room prompting them to call the Ghostbusters.  They arrive to discover that their son William’s meditation has caused a physical manifestation to appear in his room, chanting.  They can’t blast it risking harming him in the process, so they need to find a way to put it back inside him from where it came.

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer makes breakfast for the Ghostbusters…with a painful ending.

    Page 3 - John’s room features a Spider-Man dartboard and a poster for the Sleeze Brothers, both comics published by Marvel UK at the time.  Spider-Man, of course, is the famous arachnid bitten by a radioactive spider dedicated to fighting crime after failing to stop the criminal that would later kill his beloved uncle.  The Sleeze Brothers were two futuristic private eye siblings with a shoddy reputation created by regular RGB contributors John Carnell and Andy Lanning.

FYI: “Ghost of a Chant!” is a play on the phrase “ghost of a chance”, which means basically “no chance.”
