# List of The Real Ghostbusters episodes

The animated television series The Real Ghostbusters premiered on ABC on September 13, 1986. It continued airing weekly until the series conclusion on October 5, 1991. After the first season aired, the series entered syndication, during which new episodes aired each weekday. 65 episodes aired in syndication simultaneously with the official second season in 1987. At the start of the third season in 1988, the show was renamed to Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters and expanded to an hour-long time slot, during which the regular 30-minute episode aired along with a half-hour Slimer! sub-series which included two to three short animated segments focused on the character Slimer and returned to ABC. At the end of its seven-season run, 173 episodes had aired, including the syndicated episodes and 13 episodes of Slimer!, with multiple episodes airing out of production order.
Sony Pictures Entertainment released several DVD volumes of the show in North America in 2006. They include random episodes and no extras. Time-Life released the complete series in a single 25-disc box-set collection on November 25, 2008. 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. Beginning the next year, the separate volumes were released on their own, first in the United States. Sony only released a 2-disc set featuring all 13 episodes from Season 1 in Australia and the UK.
Sony later released most of the series on individual disc volumes in 2016 (the first 5 volumes were also made available in a boxed bundle). In October 2017, the entire collection of all 10 volumes was released in a 10-disc box set. It was not complete as 29 episodes, or approximately 20% of the series, was omitted. No extras were included, and several episodes were modified in that their opening title cards were removed. Some of this box set's missing episodes from earlier seasons are found on Sony's 2006 (out-of-print) DVD releases.
Every episode of the series (including Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters) was released in 2018 through both a 21-disc DVD and 3-disc Blu-ray (non upscaled transfers) by German distributor Turbine, including both English and German audio tracks.
With the exception of the syndicated episodes, all the others are arranged in airing order. The events of episodes would later be adapted as comic books and video games.

When Slimer tries to sneak some food without permission, he accidentally ensures that the Class Fives' stay won't even last through the night. The newly-freed family are now out for one thing - revenge. Soon enough, Ghosts 'R Us hits the scene and their "successes" make the guys look second-rate at every turn. The Ghostbusters may soon be out of business, but when the ghost family attempts to finish the job, they unleash a force that endangers all of New York City. Note: In the original (ABC) airing of Season 1, each episode ended with a green DiC vortex logo with the byline "Produced In Association With", followed by a CPT logo with the byline "A Unit of the Coca-Cola Company". The first note of the CPT logo would overlap with the final note of the end credits theme. Note: The title card and start-of-Act 2 bumper were silent, and only had Arsenio Hall's voice-over in this episode. Afterwards, the former began using a 7-note jingle, trimmed from one of the music cues, and the latter had a 9-note jingle. These would also be used during the second (ABC) season.

Ray takes the house's occupants - Mrs. Rogers and her pet bird - back to the firehouse for their own safety, while the others inspect the area. 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.

Instead, they convince the other trolls he was turned into a statue when their proton stream hit him. While the other trolls leave, the Ghostbusters send the young troll to a friend out of town. Note: Also exists in a re-dubbed version with Dave Coulier and Kath Soucie as Peter and Janine, respectively. This version first aired in 1988. |||||||

Knowing that he can't stop the Sandman alone, Winston tries to figure out what Egon had realized, but couldn't say. It is only with the help of Albert Einstein (from Egon's dream) that Winston is able to figure out what to do. He returns to the firehouse, where he tells Janine his plan.

#### Season 2 (1987; syndication)

For this season, episodes are listed in order of production code, rather than air date.
| No. overal | No. in season | Title | Directed by | Written by | Original air date | Prod. code |
| 14 | 1 | "Knock, Knock" | Masakazu Higuchi | J. Michael Straczynski | November 6, 1987 (1987-11-06) | 76001 |
| When a group of subway construction workers accidentally uncover an ancient door that isn't meant to be opened up until doomsday, their persistence accidentally triggers the door's opening, which sends incredible amounts of poltergeist energy surging through the New York subway system, mutating the trains into worm-like monsters. 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. Note 2: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division on October 22, 1986. Note 3: This is the only syndicated episode to have a silent title card, different from the others in this season. The others used an alternate jingle, different from the one used in the first two ABC seasons. Note 4: "THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS is available on MAGIC WINDOW Videocassettes from RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video. Original Soundtrack Album Available on Polydor Records, Tapes and Compact Disc". This tagline only appeared on the syndicated episodes' closing credits. Note 5: Much like the first ABC season, all syndicated episodes carried a 1986 copyright date, as they were produced during that year. Fewest episodes in their original airing used the DIC choir variant kid in bed logo. Some episodes used the DIC green vortex/CPT logo (with the latter freeze-framed after the last note of the fanfare), others used the DIC kid in bed (warp-speed variant)/Coca-Cola Telecommunications logo. Arsenio Hall (Winston) does the voice of the NO GHOST in the bumpers, and the episode title is silent. Subsequent syndicated episodes used an 8-note jingle, trimmed from one of the commercial bumper cues. The closing theme music continues to play over the DIC kid in bed Logo with the "In Association With" tagline in some prints. It is a rare variant in this episode, as usually it is only reserved for the DIC green vortex logo. Note 6: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||
| 15 | 2 | "Station Identification" | Masakazu Higuchi | Marc Scott Zicree | December 9, 1987 (1987-12-09) | 76002 |
| Ghosts with plans for world domination create a TV station as part of their scheme. Manifesting as various television characters and commercial products, the ghosts can travel through any television in the city to terrorize the public. The Ghostbusters try to stop these ghosts, but when Slimer gets captured by the ghosts, it's up to the guys to get him back and make sure the ghost station does not go nationwide, and then worldwide. Note: This episode originally ended with the warp-speed DIC kid in bed/Coca-Cola Telecommunications logo. |||||||
| 16 | 3 | "Play Them Ragtime Boos" | Masakazu Higuchi | Michael Reaves Steve Perry | November 26, 1987 (1987-11-26) | 76003 |
| 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". Ghostbusters, with help from a bewitching mambo, try to fight this time-warping menace. Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division in the fall of 1986. Note 2: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||

| When a treasure-seeker uncovers a treasure chest on the ocean floor, he unwittingly summons a ship of pirate ghosts, who wreak havoc on New York in order to reclaim their treasure. The ship, called The Stag, is commanded by Captain Jack Higgins (Jack Angel), one of the most notorious pirates in history, whose pirates prove to be too much for the Ghostbusters to handle. Despite being outnumbered, the Ghostbusters give chase to the pirates in order to stop them. To make things worse, Slimer tries to help, and gets into a fight with a ghost parrot, while the guys take on Higgins and his pirates, ambushing The Stag first from another land-beached ship, and then leading the pirates into a trap so that they can end their plundering once and for all. Note: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||
| 18 | 5 | "The Spirit of Aunt Lois" | Masakazu Higuchi | Richard Mueller | November 9, 1987 (1987-11-09) | 76005 |
| Ray's Aunt Lois (Marilyn Lightstone) hires a phony psychic to get rid of ghosts in her house, much to the Ghostbusters' dismay. 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. Note: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||
| 19 | 6 | "Cry Uncle" | Masakazu Higuchi | Bruce Reid Schaeffer | November 12, 1987 (1987-11-12) | 76006 |
| It is not suitable for a Spengler to be anything as unscientific as a Ghostbuster, at least in the eyes of Egon's Uncle Cyrus. 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. Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division as a special prize in select Ghostbusters cereal boxes in the fall of 1986. Note 2: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||
| 20 | 7 | "Adventures in Slime and Space" | Masakazu Higuchi | David Gerrold | September 15, 1987 (1987-09-15) | 76007 |
| One of Egon's contraptions has a bad effect on Slimer, making millions of little versions of the green ghost. 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. The episode itself is infamous for its numerous in-jokes such as Pac-Man, 2001: A Space Odyssey, King Kong, The Three Stooges, Howard the Duck, and even Star Trek and Adventures in Time and Space. Note: This episode originally ended with the warp-speed choir DIC kid in bed/Coca-Cola Telecommunications logo. |||||||
| 21 | 8 | "Night Game" | Masakazu Higuchi | Kathryn M. Drennan | September 22, 1987 (1987-09-22) | 76008 |
| Winston and Slimer go to the Jaguars baseball stadium to see them play. There, Winston witnesses a supernatural event and tries, unsuccessfully, to convince the guys to investigate. 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. When Winston becomes trapped in the stadium during the ghostly takeover, the guys go to rescue him. However, when they get inside, they find two supernatural forces playing baseball instead of fighting. According to Winston, the two forces choose their method of battle based on their surroundings, which is now housing a baseball stadium. What's more, the two groups are playing for a single human soul. If Good loses, the soul must spend 500 years doing Evil's bidding. The umpire, who seems to be the judge for this contest, has allowed Winston to play on the side of Good since he was there when the battle began, and allows the Ghostbusters to remain and watch. Peter thinks that they are playing for Winston's soul, and that they have to help the good guys win this contest. However, Egon points out that if they try to interfere, Good will lose, and Winston will lose his soul. Winston is the last up to bat for the side of Good, and faces off against a mammoth pitcher with a cannon-trunk for a pitching arm. Winston manages to hit the last ball, scoring a home run and winning the game. The umpire then reveals that the whole thing was a test, that the Ghostbusters had to decide whether or not to interfere and let Good win on its own terms. But Winston reveals the biggest secret of all, that they were not playing for his soul, but Peter's, and that's why they let Winston play. Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division in the spring of 1987, along with "The Bird of Kildarby" and "Lost and Foundry". Note 2: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||
| 22 | 9 | "Venkman's Ghost Repellers" | Masakazu Higuchi | Richard Mueller | October 20, 1987 (1987-10-20) | 76009 |
| Peter's conman father sells a product that he claims acts as a ghost repellent. However, the products, which are actually plain and ordinary ponchos, prove to be useless against a ghost as simple as Slimer. Worse, when the Ghostbusters try to convince Peter's dad to stop selling them, due to the fact it is fraudulent and amoral, he sells them anyway to a science expedition that is out to investigate the New Jersey Parallelogram, apparently a 'smaller, nastier version' of the Bermuda Triangle, then the expedition gets trapped in the Parallelogram. Peter's father, thinking he may be responsible, goes to locate them at the same time the Coast Guard contracts the Ghostbusters to help them locate the missing ship. When the Ghostbusters and Coast Guard get pulled into the Parallelogram, they eventually find the ship and are able to get it out. Once out, they find Peter's father's speedboat, but he is not there. The boys go back into the Parallelogram in order to locate Peter's dad, finding him at the center of the supernatural structure battling a horde of ghosts. 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. Peter's father later sends Peter a postcard from Alaska, letting him know that he's now got a job selling iceboxes to the natives. Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division in the fall of 1986. Note 2: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||

| Peter's old college fraternity asks for help from the Ghostbusters to bust a gang of ghosts on campus. 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. The gang of spirit-hooligans vastly outnumber the Ghostbusters, but the Ghostbusters find out that the gang has one weakness: they want to graduate. Note: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||

| The crew of a newly-created space platform calls the Ghostbusters for assistance in ridding them of a power-sucking ghost – a crew that oddly resembles that of another spacecraft on a five-year mission.

| The Ghostbusters have to go to the hospital after a job at a chemical plant. The bust at the plant causes a strange chemical to cover the guys, which results in a thick layer of slime and muck to cover everything but their heads. What's more, the slime seems to react to Slimer in a very unusual way, and the doctors at the hospital are less than helpful in dealing with something they have never seen before. The Ghostbusters eventually realize that the slime is actually part of the ghost they tried to bust at the chemical plant, and that it needs ectoplasm to survive, which it why it goes after Slimer. Now the guys have to save Slimer before he is eaten. Note: This episode originally ended with the warp-speed DIC kid in bed/Coca-Cola Telecommunications logo. |||||||

Within a very short time the guys have busted every criminal in New York, adjusting their proton packs and ghost traps to trap and contain criminals. 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. The guys track down the kidnappers and rescue Janine, and Peter uses Slimer to force the thugs to tell them where Crimelord is. Using Ecto-2, the guys go after Crimelord and finally manage to chase him down, impaling his own helicopter on the Empire State building after a lengthy chase.

| A chicken-fearing man named Cubby finally has a breakdown and uses a trio of magic books from the New York Public library, which Egon was also looking to check out, to summon up a demon named Morgannan (and his imp) in order to get rid of all the chickens in the world. Despite the ridiculous request, Morgannan gives Cubby the power to make anything disappear or reappear. Cubby then uses the power to make all the chickens in the world disappear, which brings the Ghostbusters running to investigate. However, when they confront Cubby about it, they get teleported into another dimension where the chickens are. They begin falling fast towards the rocky ground as the chickens are floating above them, but are saved from a very nasty crash into the ground by Morgannan, who has been so humiliated by Cubby's actions that he enlists the guys to help him undo the deal. The demon sends them back to the firehouse, where the Ghostbusters make a gaggle of robotic chickens to trick Cubby into returning the real chickens to Earth. Once the chickens are returned, Morgannan breaks the contract, removing Cubby's powers. The guys take Cubby and put him into a mental hospital, where Morgannan tortures Cubby with his least favorite food chicken.

The man, named John, suggests that they hire the guys for the job, but the woman, Olivia, refuses. Winston gives John one of their business cards before they go. At the mansion, when the pair try to scare the ghost of Olivia's Uncle Horace away, John loses the card that Winston gave him, and Horace himself uses it to call the Ghostbusters to scare away the other two ghosts so that he can find what he lost. Another ghost (that escaped from the restaurant the guys were busting) causes trouble in the mansion. When the Ghostbusters arrive, they mistakenly try to bust Horace, who is unaware of the fact that he has now become a ghost. After convincing the guys not to bust him, Egon's PKE meter detects the other ghost, and the guys go after him, only to find that it has taken Olivia hostage. Egon uses a Tarzanesque move to rescue Olivia as the Ghostbusters trap the rogue spook. Horace, now reunited with Olivia, finally remembers that it was his niece he was searching for. Finally able to say good-bye, Horace passes on peacefully, and both John and Olivia thank the Ghostbusters for their help. Note: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo.

| 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 they investigate, it turns out that all of the residents are vampires, having their own servants as well. One group is led by Gregore, who took over the town and wishes to come out into the modern world. The other group is led by the old leader, an unnamed vampire who wishes to keep their existence a secret from the world. While Ray and Peter are captured/recruited by the forest vampires after a desperate fight, Egon and Winston are held captive by Gregore and his followers, who want to use them to eliminate their vampiric enemies. As both sides prepare to battle, Winston and Egon are freed by a young slave named Lita, who takes a liking to Egon. Once freed, thanks to Lita finding one of their undamaged proton packs, Egon and Winston find the imprisoned townspeople who originally lived in the village and release them. 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. Gregore and his minions were unaware of this when they imprisoned them, which leads to a three-way fight consisting of two supernatural races. The Ghostbusters are finally united and escape the chaos, as the battle between the vampries and werewolves is mutating the two groups into each other. The Ghostbusters destroy the dam to the village, causing a moat to form which prevents both the vampires and werewolves from leaving. As they are leaving Lupusville, Lita is seen sitting on the bumper of Ecto-1 as it drives away. Note: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||

One hundred years later, Ray sees him ride by, followed by a mysterious figure. After learning from a local cook that Queg is one of the 'local ghosts', but that 'the Rider' is a sign of disaster, the Ghostbusters decide to find out what is happening. It turns out that Queg has spent the past century trying to avoid the figure, and as a result has never been able to get home. When Ray tries to help him, he accidentally trades places with Queg, becoming trapped in the endless cycle Queg was in. The Ghostbusters, with Slimer's help, are able to summon back Ray and the ghost buggy, and together with Queg they are able to force the Rider into a showdown and break the curse that Queg has been under for over a century. As it turns out, the Rider was actually Queg's cruel and selfish nature that he has been running from for 100 years. Thanks to Ray, he was able to face it and free himself.

| 41 | 28 | "The Collect Call of Cathulhu" | Masakazu Higuchi | Michael Reaves | October 27, 1987 (1987-10-27) | 76028 |
| When the Necronomicon, the most powerful book of spells in the world, is stolen from the New York Public Library, the Ghostbusters find themselves up against the Spawn, and Cult, of Cthulhu, who have stolen the book in order to bring the malevolent god back to Earth. Barely escaping from the Spawn when their weapons prove useless against them, as the Spawn are capable of super-regeneration, the guys turn to Professor Alice Derleth (Jodi Carlisle), a beautiful scholar and spell user, from Arkham, Mass., to help them stop Cthulhu's return. The guys raid the Cult's meeting place, only to get attacked by another Spawn-like creature, called a shoggoth, and Alice uses her spells to turn it to stone. 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). When the team heads to Coney Island, they are unable to stop the resurrection as Cthulhu rampages through the park. The Ghostbusters' proton packs and Alice's spells prove useless in stopping the powerful 'Old One', and the boys are left with one option. Peter lures Cthulhu towards the roller coaster by shooting it in the head, so that the guys can ionize the coaster enough to attract a lightning bolt, blasting Cthulhu with 100 gigavolts of electricity, which they succeeded in doing and sends the creature back into hibernation. The Cult of Cthulhu has failed and is arrested by the cops, and Alice returns the Necronomicon to Arkham, but not before Peter takes her out on a date, though her version of a date is very different from Peter's.

Ray and the guys go to Scotland and, guided by the castle's executor, Angus Lenny, manage to bust the ghost, but when they do, they find out that it is a 'keystone' ghost. According to history, one man started a war between the Highlanders and the Lowlanders, called the Battle of Dunkell, and that one ghost pays for this tragedy. He is doomed to never rest so that the others may sleep. Once the keystone ghost is captured, the souls of the Highlanders and Lowlanders wake up and start fighting once again. Their war, which will ultimately destroy the village of Dunkell, is put on Ray's shoulders, and he heads to the village to plan a countermove while the others try to stall the two clans. Ray is able to rig a group of garbage trucks into makeshift ghost traps, and traps both clans inside them. 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. Ray turns the castle over to the village, and makes the executor pay for all the damage that was caused. Note: This episode originally ended with the DIC green vortex/CPT logo. |||||||

| Peter's father, Charles, is working in Alaska, and unearths an Inuit statue that holds a powerful demon called Hob Anagarak, who the Eskimos called 'The First Demon'. Egon states that 'The Hob' is one of the rarest of legends, and the guys go to Alaska in order to investigate. En route, Egon reveals that Hob Anagarak was created by the gods, and set to rule over Earth when it was newly created. But when the humans came, Hob attacked them. They defeated Hob and sealed the fire demon away in a block of magic black ice. This eventually led to the Ice Age. When the guys get to the village where the block is, they find out that Peter's father wants them to release the demon and trap it, so that he can put it on an exhibit. Peter, naturally, refuses to let this happen. 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. The next morning, the guys use their proton packs to destroy the black ice, which they find pretty easy. Thinking they have destroyed The Hob, the Ghostbusters return to New York. A few days later, the guys find out that Peter's father conned them and is planning to unveil The Hob at Madison Square Garden. Charles and Dr. Bassingame, the phony spiritualist responsible for destroying Ray's aunt's home, free The Hob from the ice, and in true King Kong-fashion the demon breaks free of his confinement and goes on a rampage. Peter, upset at his father for tricking him, leads the Ghostbusters to try to stop Hob, but their weapons prove useless against the mighty fire demon. Egon eventually finds out two important things: 1) The Hob is looking to enslave an army of ghosts to lay waste to the world, meaning he is coming for the Ecto-Containment Unit in the firehouse, and 2) he finds a tricky binding ritual that requires all of them, Janine, Peter's father and Dr. Bassingame, to stop The Hob. The ritual proves effective, and The Hob is once again sealed in his block of ice. Peter's father is sent back to Iowa after Peter pays his fines, only to sneak off the bus and get on another one, heading for Hollywood to sell the film rights.

According to him, an ancestor of his stole a pot of gold from a leprechaun, which caused the leprechaun to curse the O'Malley family line. 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. The only thing that can stop the Hound is a four-leaf clover. The Ghostbusters search the city for a four-leaf clover, while Egon goes alone to try to catch the Bog Hound with 'science'. While Egon finds the Bog Hound at the New York City Zoo, he finds out that his proton pack is uncharged, leaving him defenseless as the Hound chases him down. After getting treed by the Hound, which is full of lions, tigers and leopards, Egon barely escapes by tricking the Hound, and then tries to regroup with the others. Peter eventually finds a four-leaf clover, but Slimer eats it. The Ghostbusters have no choice but to play bodyguard to Deputy Chief O'Malley in order to find and capture the Bog Hound. When the Hound attacks O'Malley at the St. Patrick's Day parade, the Ghostbusters try to stop it, only to get their proton packs damaged in the fight. Peter distracts the Hound with a fake four-leaf clover (which he didn't know was plastic) and leads it into a ghost trap laid by Egon.

The Ghostbusters agree to help, but when they arrive at the Tower, they find hundreds of thousands of ghosts haunting every level of the massive structure. After fighting through hordes of ghosts they get to the workshop, and Egon discovers that Gustave Eiffel designed the Tower to be a primitive but effective ghost containment unit. When the control box was damaged, the Tower started leaking ghosts. Worse, unless the leak is plugged it will eventually explode, releasing millions of ghosts from its structure. Using their own proton packs to power the control box, in order to temporarily imprison the ghosts, the Ghostbusters travel to the Louvre museum and Notre Dame cathedral in order to find Eiffel's secret papers that tell how to repair the device, fighting off the most aggressive of the ghosts that try to stop them from reaching those notes. The Ghostbusters succeed in repairing the device, only to fail in stopping the ghosts from destroying it.
