“Ghost Gangsters” Part 3
    Mob boss Caesar Caldoni’s long-lost vault is found and opened on live TV to reveal…a rusting old jalopy.  While not good for television, it’s made even worse when the ghosts of Webby “The Tractor” McBain’s mob, the only rivals of the Caldoni mob, escape the vault and pick up where they left off in the 20s.  Their first goal; to settle an old score against Caldoni by hitting all the places he ran back in their day.  Their last stop is the Caldoni’s hideout…which is now a children’s hospital!

“Dead True!”
    Eliott O’Donnell was fishing one day when suddenly the water went wild and an image of a deceased friend greeted him.  Once the experience passed, Elliott soon learned it was possibly a warning of his own impending death!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    It’s Easter time, and the Easter Bunny is gonna regret coming to Slimer’s neighborhood!
