    It’s summer fun on the beach as the Ghostbusters get called out to take care of some surf zombies wrecking the waves for others.  They hit the surf but face a wipe out as the zombies just keep on coming and keep getting bigger.

    Beach bum ghosts.

“Bad Vibrations!”
    Amity Bay is being cleared out by a phantom surfer, scaring people off its beaches.  A female beach patron leads the Ghostbusters down to the Bay so they can investigate.  First they get a PKE reading, and then the surfer appears.  However, their proton guns seem to have no effect as the spook buzzes over their heads!  Egon takes off for parts unknown, leaving the others to fend for themselves against a ghost who can’t be trapped.

“Dead True!”
    When Don Craig fell asleep against a buoy on the Florida coast, he had a horrific dream that resulted in his suffocating to death.  When he woke up, he learned that his dream had actually happened to another man right there years before!

“Beach Boy Bust!”
    Peter, Ray and Slimer are trying to enjoy a day at the beach only to have it interrupted by a bully picking on everyone.  Peter has enough and is determined to face off against him when Ray’s PKE picks up a presence.  It looks like their beach bully just picked on the wrong Ghostbusters!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer wants to cross a bridge the same time as a man, and he refuses to get out of the way despite Slimer’s being there first.  What is a ghost to do?
