“Winston’s Diary”
Monday, February 5th, 1990
    Winston and Peter head out to Hatton, Idaho, where they received a call of strange happenings.  Strange happenings indeed as their adventure was reading more like a novel than real life.  They soon learn they’re caught in the latest novel of Richard Prince, and the ending could be a killer!

“Dead True!”
    A naval officer in Florida was asked to mail a letter for someone, but forgot about it and was killed when his submarine was sunk.  The next day, the recipient of the letter received it from a naval officer that was soaking wet…the same one who was sunk with his crew!

“Ghostbusters II” Part 9
    The Ghostbusters are back in business and in full swing, taking care of ghosts left and right which keeps them from further investigating the river of slime.  Meanwhile, Dana has an uneasy feeling working at the Museum lately, unknown to her that her boss, Janosz, had been possessed by the evil spirit of Prince Vigo living inside a painting.  And to add to her troubles, while attempting to give Oscar a bath, both he and Dana are attacked by their slime filled bathtub!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
