“Snack Attack!”
    Janine fixes herself a Marshmallow Fluff sandwich which Peter promptly steals when she passes.  However, finding it distasteful, he discards it.  Unfortunately, the monster munch keeps coming back up on him as the fluff was haunted!  You’d think they’d learn to stop buying Stay Puft products, wouldn’t you?

“Spengler’s Spirit Guide” Part 48
    Discussing great classic comics that have really influenced the conceptions of ghosts and monsters today.

“Attack of the Amok Behemoth that Ate New York!”
    The Amok Behemoth from the Captain Champion comics leaps off the pages and into reality as it begins to tear up the city.  It’s up to the Ghostbusters to stop it and find out what’s going on through the creature’s creator, Andy Anorakus.  Plus!  Captain Champion!

“Dead True!”
    When two sisters fall for the same man, one of them locks the other in the castle dungeon until she died.  Now, that sister walks the halls of the castle, meaning instant death for anyone who sees her!

“Ghost-Nappers!”
    Ghosts come after Slimer for betraying his kind by staying with the Ghostbusters.  Now, they have to save their little green friend before the fiends deplasmatize him!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer takes part in a shrinking experiment and discovers the benefit of being tiny next to normal-sized food.
Special Features:
FYI: The cover is a parody of Marvel’s Fantastic Four vol. 1 #1 (1961), and the lines spoken on it are a parody of the lines “Is it a bird?  Is it a plane?  No, it’s Superman!” first originated in the Adventures of Superman radio show.
FYI: “Attack of the Amok Behemoth that Ate New York!”
    Similar to this story, Ray’s favorite comic book hero, Captain Steel, and one of his villains came to life and it was up to the Ghostbusters to help him foil the evil plot in the episode “Captain Steel Saves the Day”.  And, as you can guess, in the animated world Ray is the comic reader whereas here it is Peter.
