“Stupid Cupid”
    Slimer had just finished buying Valentine’s Day cards when Cupid crashes into a dumpster in front of him, exhausted from his hard task of spreading love around the world.  Slimer gives him a newspaper blanket while he plays with his bow and arrow.  Unfortunately, the clumsy spook accidentally fires it and the arrow flies off, causing people to fall in love all over!  Now it’s up to Slimer to fix this Valentine’s day mix-up and get Cupid back on the job.

“Carwash Spook!”
    It’s been a long day, and Ecto-1 is a mess.  Winston, knowing how Ray would feel about Ecto’s current condition, decides to pop off into a carwash on the way home.  Unknown to him, the automated carwash is currently haunted by two spooks waiting to cause trouble.  No sooner does Winston pull in that the spooks force their way in and begin causing havoc inside the car as it rolls through the wash.  As the car fills with soapy water, Winston struggles to reach a proton pack in the back in order to duel it out with the two spooks and keep from being hot waxed himself.

“The Ghost House!”
    The Ghostbusters receive a call to exterminate the spooks in a man’s brand new house.  Upon entering, they’re immediately puzzled by the strange PKE readings they receive.  Then, one by one, the Ghostbusters are nabbed up into the house.  With Ray and Slimer the only ones left standing, they must face the ghost by themselves…which is the house itself!
