“Three Ring Freak Show Circus!”
    In Atlantic City, the Ghostbusters are hot on the trail of a clown ghost on a unicycle that leads Ray and Peter to a Von Danzag’s Circus.  There they find the performers, deceased for 100 years since the circus burned down, waiting for them.  With Egon and Winston somewhere behind them and their streams ineffectual against these spooks, Ray and Peter might find themselves becoming a permanent part of the act!

“Shiver and Shake! and Vac!”
    It’s Janine’s usual day off, but it becomes anything BUT usual when she finds her house is haunted by its former occupant!  The worst part of it is, the ghost is a neat freak and forces Janine to clean all day and night.  Without a moment to call the Ghostbusters, how can she get free of this maid from hell?

“Stick Out Your Tongue and Say…AAARGH!”
    Patients in a hospital have contracted some sort of disease that mutates their tongues into various kinds of creatures.  Professor Meindeindal calls in the Ghostbusters who discover the cause is some kind of ghost virus.  Now it’s up to Egon and the Professor to find a cure.

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Nothing like a little vacation in a torture chamber…
