There is a first draft that is publically available, but I'm lazy so I'm not gonna find it myself yet.

==Plot==
An elderly man living at the Shandor Building suspects that someone is watching him as he sleeps and that furniture of his is bleeding with purple slime, so the next day, he contacts the Ghostbusters. One of the Ghostbusters, Peter Venkman, complains that his colleagues are over-prepared for the call, but Ray and Egon stress that whenever something's going on at the Shandor Building, something's going on. Peter looks at Slimer, who's just messing around, and tells him not to mess up the mission again like usual.
The Ghostbusters split up into two groups. Peter and Egon would talk to the elderly man, while Ray and Winston would come in with the gear. Peter and Egon do not agree with the desicion, but it is already made. The customer greets himself as Archie Martin and says that the purple slime has been covering everything, which is driving him and his wife insane. Egon and Peter find and collect the acidic slime, but they couldn't get any readings. Peter wants the job to be done and over, but Egon thinks that something's missing, and wants to stay in the house to find it, but they accidentally spill the acid, dripping down the floor and causing damage to the apartments. The Ghostbusters get banned from the Shandor Building by PCOC because of this.
Janine is filing paperwork as usual as the Ghostbusters arrive at their firehouse. She's not shocked the Ghostbusters were dismissed from yet another apartment complex, as Peter and Egon were forced to work together more and more, but they couldn't stop arguing. Ray doesn't seem to mind being banned, because they were lucky they got to keep the slime samples. This leads the boys wanting to learn more about the problem.
The Ghostbusters get to work on the purple slime investigation. The only lead they recieved however is that the purple slime had something to do with Gozer, but they couldn't find much else. Slimer is intrigued by the men's research and finds Tobin's Spirit Guide, which is illuminated by the full moon, singlehandely turning until it comes to a halt between the words "black" and "blob." Suddenly, a page emerges from the book's spine. The page features paragraphs upon paragraphs of a demon called Bleak, as well as a picture of Bleak with the Ghostbusters... who are all dead.
The most disturbing thing about the page, though, is a paragraph detailing how Bleak plans to kill the Ghostbusters. On October 12th, 1992, at 7 p.m., Bleak would dispatch the Ghostbusters to the Shandor Building. He'd then open the containment unit, releasing all of the ghosts until the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man appeared, after wich Stay Puft would proceed to the Shandor Building and kill the Ghostbusters. Slimer can't tell the guys, or else they might worry or think Slimer's playing a prank on them, so he closes the book and runs off.
Eventually, the Ghostbusters do find out, and they're really freaking out. This ghost is on the Ghostbusters' tail and he's closer to catching them than they are to him, and the Ghostbusters need to hurry up! Egon, luckily, was working on his interdimensional portal (which was totally foreshadowed beforehand), which broke after their last mission using it, and he finally got it to work again. Now they can go find Bleak in his own dimension.
==Trivia==
*Bleak has many similarities to Idulnas from the Ghostbusters comic.
**Both featured a blue-skinned, humanoid ghost, who is the third minion of Gozer.
**There is a scene where a page grows in Tobin's Spirit Guide about the villain. Said page has a page where the villain stands among the dead Ghostbusters.
**Both summon the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
