“Winston’s Diary”
Wednesday, 23rd May
    Egon and Winston head down to Florida with Slimer so Egon can run some experiments on him and Winston can get in some fishing.  However, the trip takes a strange twist as Winston catches a mutated fish.  Upon returning it to the sea, a tamper bay terror rises up looking for the polluters who dropped a drum of waste.  But, since it can’t find them, it’ll settle on the Ghostbusters instead!

“Take Away Terror!”
    Peter gets some take-out food, but it wants to eat him instead!

“Dead True!”
    The mystery of the Mary Celeste.

“Highway Haunt”
    On the way home from a bust, Ecto-1 conks out leaving Ray and Winston stranded.  Winston hitches a ride with a passing big rig so he could find a phone and get some help.  Little does he know the driver’s big secret.

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Some kids write to Slimer to come eat the food they hate, but they get more than they bargained for!
