“Hotel Haunt”

    Fred drags Slimer out of the firehouse and takes him to the Hotel Sedgewick where Slimer learns a new spook, Cyrus Dale Bancroft, is terrorizing the staff and guests.  His brand of scaring comes from mischievous pranks when he takes the form of an everyday object and springing out in his true form.  With the Ghostbusters on a call, it’s up to Slimer, Fred and Bud to stop the ghost while avoiding grumpy Mr. Grout who tries to maintain order amongst the panicked populace.

“Hide and Freak”

    Slimer, Fred, Donald, Jason and Catherine are hanging out in the park one day when Jason has the desire to test modifications he made to a PKE Meter he was given to try and track down Slimer and Fred.  Both guinea pigs take off to hide, not knowing that along the way Fred would be abducted!  They track him down, only to see Fred dangling above a fireplace about to become some monster’s dinner!  It’s up to Slimer and the Junior Ghostbusters to save him before they all become monster chow.
