“Winston’s Diary”
Saturday, 13th May, 1989
    The Clinton Gang is back and re-living their lives of crime in the small town of Malice, Texas.  It’s up to Winston to round up the bandits and restore the quiet to the sleepy little town.

“Dead True!”
    Two brothers in the old west sought to see who got a steer, one killed the other.  In his grief, he cursed the steer and set it free, causing any who so much as saw it to kill or destined to be killed!

“Ray’s From The Grave”
    Ray had gone off on a bust on his own, and wound up trapped in a parallel dimension while his captors plot to enter our world.  Meanwhile, the others arrive on the scene and try to devise a way to get Ray out.  However, the ghosts aren’t ready to give Ray up without a fight, and they can’t risk blasting them  lest Ray ends up stuck…forever!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer begins his new career: demolition!

FYI: “Winston’s Diary”
    There’s no such town as Malice in Texas.

FYI: “Winston’s Diary”
    Page 13 – “Alright, I don’t like spaghetti and I’m not sure if I like Westerns, either.”
    Spaghetti Westerns is the nickname of a sub-genre of Western films released in the 60s, so called because they were mostly produced by Italian studios.

FYI: “Winston’s Diary”
    Page 13 – “I remembered that Ray had encountered trouble with a cowboy somewheres…”

    Page 4 - CAPTION: “30 Minutes Later…”
    There’s no way in hell anyone can get from New York to Texas in half an hour, especially by driving, unless Egon had put a time-dilation device on Ecto-1.  According to Mapquest.com, driving from the actual firehouse in New York to Dallas Texas would take 24 ½ hours straight.  This mistake could be attributed to some Europeans being used to small countries and not realizing the size of the very large United States.
