List of The Real Ghostbusters episodes
[2][3] The discs were packed in five plastic or steelbook volumes, housed in a box modeled on the Ghostbusters' firehouse, a design chosen in a fan vote.
A variety of increasingly bizarre happenings do occur and Egon attributes it all to Watt, a powerful demon, disguised as a kindly old lady who traps the Ghostbusters in a haunted house while it infiltrates the firehouse and attempts to break open the containment unit.
While he has a good time, his tribe takes over the bridge and threatens to destroy the city if he isn't returned by sundown, using a group of flying, fire-breathing birds.
The Ghostbusters are called in to deal with it, and Egon discovers that if they don't close the door soon, the entire world will be transformed into a twisted and barren wasteland of ghostly and demonic creatures that will replace all of humankind and civilization.
Note 1: One of the differences between the ABC and Syndicated episodes was that the crew had more freedom with certain storylines and villains on the latter, that would have been vetoed by the network, due to their strict protocols.
A ghostly bayou trumpet player, Malachi, is living - sort of - in the past, and seeks to turn back the clock by playing a haunting rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In".
Instead of helping, though, this phony psychic enrages the ghosts, who are, in fact, protective house spirits called domoviye, even more, causing them to throw a nasty temper tantrum.
Egon has to reluctantly go back to the Midwest, over 1,500 miles from New York, and feed mice at the Spengler Labs, but the Ghostbusters will try anything to convince Uncle Cyrus that there actually are such things as ghosts.
But things get out of hand when Uncle Cyrus unwittingly lets the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man out of the containment unit, and the Ghostbusters have to put him back before he destroys the city again.
Worse, when they try to fix the problem, Slimer turns evil and starts causing trouble across the entire city, which ends up slimed to great excess.
Winston's research into the event leads to an old Native American legend that involves an ancient battle between the forces of Good and Evil that takes place once every 500 years.
Their fight to save Peter's father results in damaging the center of the Parallelogram, and the Ghostbusters barely manage to escape before the entire structure collapses into the ocean.
Apparently, their frat is being framed for numerous crimes by a gang of ghostly delinquents who, several decades ago and when they were still alive, swore revenge against the college for expelling them.
However, their actions anger the head Mafia boss in New York, called Crimelord (Hamilton Camp), who takes Janine hostage to force them to give up.
With all the criminals in the city locked up, the Crimebusters are once again out of business, as the ghosts decide to come back, including Stay Puft Marshmallow Man before the episode ends.
Abandoned by his girlfriend Cindy (Lynn Ann Leveridge), a lonely man named Jeremy and his hunchbacked friend, DyTillio, sets loose the forces of evil as he uses a magical flute to bring about the end of the world in Norse mythology.
Peter's favorite rock-star singer Shanna O'Callahan arrives in New York and turns out to be a banshee, an Irish spirit whose voice causes chaos.
With the help of Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, the Ghostbusters locate the Shears and battle the demons in a pitched fight to get back to their rendezvous point.
The Ghostbusters are hired by a mysterious man named Gregore, leader of a small secluded village called Lupusville, that is located deep in the woods, to get rid of a coven of vampires.
As the two vampire groups battle, with the Ghostbusters caught in the middle, the townspeople arrive and reveal themselves to be werewolves who chose to live in isolation from the rest of the world for their own safety.
The guys then turn to an old friend of Ray's who has access to old pulp magazines that tell how to defeat Cthulhu (which H. P. Lovecraft and other authors wrote based on the Necronomicon).
The group later finds out that Mr. Lenny actually worked for Uncle Andrew's freeloading relatives, who wanted to frame Ray for destroying the village so that they could get the castle and the treasure.
Janine, on her lunch break, opens the book, not knowing that it contains the spirits of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who wreak havoc upon the city, and ultimately the world.
Later that night, when the guys are psychically attacked by Hob Anagarak, who levitates and throws silverware and a moose's head at them, Peter's dad switches the block for a fake.
When the Ghostbusters are arrested for accidentally nearly killing the Mayor's wife (June Foray) (actually just frying her dress off) the deputy police chief, O'Malley, makes a deal with them to get them out of their predicament.
Every St. Patrick's Day, during a full moon, a Bog Hound rises up and seeks out the head of the O'Malley clan, which is the deputy police chief, to carry them off.
When Necksa, lord and ruler of the undines, declares war against the air-breathers for their constant pollution of the seas, the Ghostbusters are hard-pressed to stop him before he drowns the city.
Winston gets help from an ancestor in order to stop an ancient demon (Arthur Burghardt) from Africa that is unwittingly released by a scientist at the Natural History Museum.
Egon and Slimer switch minds and the timing couldn't be worse, as an egomaniacal ghost named the Master of Shadows (William Marshall) wishes to test his wits against the brainy 'buster', and destroy New York if he fails to measure up.
Note: Kath Soucie and Dave Coulier replaced Laura Summer and Lorenzo Music as the respective voices of Janine Melnitz and Peter Venkman beginning with this season.
