## Description

Daffy is everything he's quacked up to be in this spine chilling scarytale. After inheriting a fortune from a screwloose millionaire, Daffy "anything for a buck" Duck finds himself being haunted by the ghost of his benefactor. In order to keep hold of his bounty and rid himself of the supernatural visits, Daffy forms the Ghouls 'R' Us Paranormal Agency. Aiding Daffy in this hair raising adventure are Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Sylvester.

They ain't afraid of no ghosts... Quackbusters!
