“The Howl and the Pussy Cat!”
    Cats are letting out mysterious howls all over the city and the rats have begun to abandon it.  Apparently, the cat-demon Gorefield is about to return to the world to secure felines’ rightful place as the dominant species.  And to add to the trouble, people are starting to act like cats all over!

“Spengler’s Spirit Guide” Part 122
    Fall movie releases in the underworld.

“Movie Monster!”
    The Ghostbusters head for a night out at the drive-in to partake of a 3-D monster movie.  However, what they come to realize is the monster is quite real…and so is his destruction!

“A Boring Ghost Day” Part 2
    Nobody seems to want to play with Slimer today.  Every time he tries to hang out with one of his friends, they end up yelling at him and telling him to go away.  He thinks his friends no longer like him.  And, to add to his troubles, Dweeb is once again out to grab Slimer as a living exhibit for his paranormal display at the Un-Natural History Museum!

“Dead True!”
    An Englishman had moved into a house by Central Park in the 1930s, only to frequently run out screaming in the night.  His neighbors thought him mad, talking of a woman holding a baby rising out of the fireplace often.  It wasn’t until the 1960s when the building was demolished the crew found the skeletons of a lady and a baby!

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Minnie the Mad Chef has left out some jelly to set.  Big mistake, Minnie!
Special Features:
    Bio: Hound of Hell.
    Slime Time! Jokes.
FYI: “The Howl and the Pussy Cat!”
    Gorefield is obviously a spoof on Garfield, based on the name and his appearance.  Lorenzo Music, who did the original voice for Peter in the animated series, also provided the voice of everyone’s favorite fat cat on TV.  Conversely, Bill Murray, who played Peter in the movies, had gone on to voice Garfield in his own live-action movies.

FYI: “Spengler’s Spirit Guide”
    The featured movies are parodies of actual movies, such as Total Recall (Total Rickshaw/Relapse/Retread/Total & Partial Recalll), Die Hard (Dire Herd/Herder), Gremlins (Gromlins 47), Top Gun (Top Gunk), Three Men and a Baby (Three Men and a Kolord), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Adolescent Freak Samurai Squirrels), Dick Tracy (Doc Treacly) and Batman (Bantam).  And also from Disney Stuidos (Doesnty Studio) comes Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Jet Black and the Seven Kolords), Fantasia (Phantasmasia), 101 Dalmations (The Hundred-and-One Damnations) and Dumbo (Damnbo).  
FYI: “Movie Monster!”
    Page 11 – “This is a black and white film featuring Boris Carloft in 1958.”
    Boris Carloft is the RGBUK version of Boris Karloff, one of the staples in the horror genre in the early 20th Century.

FYI: This issue features part of “A Boring Ghost Day” from NOW’s Slimer! #4.
BLOOPER: “The Howl and the Pussy Cat!”
    Page 5 – Not only does the bridge look nothing like the Brooklyn Bridge, but there are no public phones on the bridge, especially at the roadway level.  The phone also appears to be in the middle of the roadway.
