[ominous music]

-I'm not scared, are you?
-Nope, I'm not scared.

The Witch of Salem
is just a fake.

-Then what are we waiting for?
-Waiting for you.

-I'm here.
-Okay. Go ahead.
I'll follow.

Harvey Winslow, you've been a
coward all your life.

You'll never change.

[ominous music]

Dah! What was that?
Did you hear it?

Did I hear what? There wasn't
anything except the wind and...

[rumbling]

...trees.

[laughing]

[growling]

[laughing] We'll scare thoselittle brats back to the thirdgrade.

And bring the Ghost... busters
on the scene.

It's the witch,
the Witch of Salem.

-Let's get out of here.
-Maybe it's something else.

[laughing]

[evil laughter]

Then again, maybe not.

[growling]

[both]
Yeow!

[evil laughter]

[upbeat music]

[phone ringing]

[Ansabone] He he! You've
reached the Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters aren't here/in
right now.

They're out to lunch,
permanently.

-I warned you about that.
-[blows raspberry]

Hello. I'm not shouting.
Oh, okay. Sorry.

Who? The Salem police
department?

Oh, look, if it's about that
parking ticket, I..

No? What's that? Jessica's
nephew, Corky just saw a witch?

Sure, we're interested.

Let's go, Ghostbusters!

[snoring]

Ouch! Lose some weight, you
over-stuffed fur ball.

[laughs] They've taken the
bait.

Oh, duke of darkness, look.

[instrumental music]

Those fools! This is easierthan I thought it would be.

Right again,
oh, master of malice. [laughs]

Soon, the Ghost Bozos will beat the haunted house in Salem.

Where we could steal
the dematerializer. [laughs]

Right, you are, Brat-A-Rat.
Bwah-hah-hah.

[honking]

[coughing]

Oh, Road hog!

Salem has been a ghost center
for hundreds of years.

The witch might've come through
a time zone.

-Maybe we should call Futura.
-Yeah.

I'll tell Futura to meet us
in Salem.

[instrumental music]

Eee! Sufferin' sulfur,
look, master.

[instrumental music]

[Prime Evil] Futura, coming
from the future to meet the
Ghost Bunglers.

Those fools can't do anything
by themselves.

No matter. She will arrive in
Salem, alright but in the past.

[beaming]

[beaming]

[piano music]

In 1692. The year of
the Great Witch Hunt.

[laughing]

[beaming]

[rumbling]

[beeping]

Oh! What's happening? I'm going
too far into the past.

[instrumental music]

I tell ye, brethren, there be
witches among us.

Look around, do you see 'em?
They're all around us.

[murmuring]

And when we catch 'em, we'lltar 'em, feather 'em and run'em

out of town in a rail.

Keep your eyes peeled
and your ears open.

If you see a witch, tell me.

Nyeah!

[murmuring]

What's going on here?

[upbeat music]

Stop. There it is.

[tires screeching]

Looks pretty quiet.

Yeah. Maybe we
ought to forget it.

Come on, you guys. We got
ghost busting to do.

[instrumental music]

Excellent. I have them where
I want them.

Now, while the witch scares the
wits out of them,

I'll steal
the ghost dematerializer.

[thunder rumbling]

After you.

[grunts]

I wouldn't think of it.

Yeow!

Quiet, you clowns.

[door creaking]

[Jake]
So far so good.

[screaming]

What was that?

[clattering]

Will you stop the monkey
business?

[grunts]

No offense, Tracy. When we find
a ghost, you'll know about it.

Don't worry.

[evil laughter]

Uh-oh! I think we just did.

[laughing]

[instrumental music]

The Witch of Salem.

Come to me, my lovely.

[eerie music]

Who me?

Uh, I think she wants you,
Tracy.

No!

[evil laughter]

Time for action.

[instrumental music]

Now. He stepped inside the
house. Switch on the Scare Way.

I'll do it,
oh, emperor of evil.

[beaming]

[rumbling]

[laughing]

-Hey.
-What's goin' on?

[grunting]

[screaming]

[laughs] I did it, master.

The Ghostbusters
and the dematerializer

are in the Scare Way.

Excellent, my pet.

[screaming]

[grunting]

-I can't look.
-We gotta get outta here.

Jake, there's a full moon.
Call Fuddy.

Yo, Fuddy, give me
super strength, fast.

[beaming]

Oh, no. I got super speed.

Hang on!

Ye-ah-ah-ha!

[upbeat music]

They're going too fast.
They'll go back in time.

-What have you done?
-Me?

I didn't do anything, boss.
Honest.

You repulsive, little rodent.

You sent the Ghostbusters
into the past with Futura.

[zapping]

[thud]

Honest, boss...

I don't know why they
speedin'...

Let all witches beware.

This is what they'll get ifthey show their ugly faces inSalem.

Place the witch in the stocks.

Oh, hold on a minute, guys.

-Let me out.
-Never witch.

Be on your guard.
The witch may have friends.

I knew those size twelve's
were too big.

Hmm, these are nice.

Uh, do you have these
in a ten and a half?

Get thee hence,
evil spirit.

-Evil spirit, where?
-Here.

Yeow!

I don't know who you think we
are but we're not evil spirits.

Oh, yes you are and you're incahoots with that strangewitch.

Hi, guys,
I'm glad you could come.

Get her out of those things,
Trace.

Okey-dokey.

Stop!

[instrumental music]

Thanks, Tracy.
Mwah!

Oh...

Seize the evil spirits.

[crowd murmuring]

[thudding]

Take them to the Town hall
and tar and feather them.

-Not without a trial.
-Yeah, we demand a trial.

Look, oh, wizard of wickedness,the town's people will takecare

of the Ghostbusters for us.
[laughing]

Don't be so quick with your
"He-he-hes", Brat-A-Rat.

We still don't have
the dematerializer.

-I have got an idea.
-'What?'

I'm the only one allowed tohave ideas around here.

Yes, sir, oh, general of grief,
anything you say.

Now, here's the plan.

The Ghostbusters will be tried
as evil spirits.

But they're not evil spirits.

Exactly, bat breath
but the jury will be.

[laughing]

Will be my evil spirits.

[dramatic music]

Don't worry, guys,
no jury will convict us.

Silence.

You stand accused of being
evil spirits.

What have you to say
in your defense?

Not guilty, judge.

We'll see what the jury
has to say about that.

The jury may retire to reach
it's verdict.

I think we've already reached
a verdict, Your Honor.

-Guilty.
-Guilty.

-Guilty.
-Guilty.

Guilty.

Just as I thought. Guilty.

Wait a minute, there's
something fishy here.

We better unmask that jury.

Trace, sneak the dematerializer
out of your ghost bag.

I'll set the dematerializer on
low voltage and blow away

those disguises.

[zapping]

I say, they've got
the dematerializer.

Let's get out of here.

We can't let 'em get away.
Let's go, Ghostbusters!

[groaning]

[crash]

No!

[crash]

They're all evil spirits,
don't let them get away.

[swooshing]

[upbeat music]

[music continues]

We're trapped.

Now, what do we do?

[thunder rumbling]

What you usually do. You'll
depend on me to save you.

Get back to haunt quarters,
you miserable germs.

[zapping]

Look, it's Prime Evil, himself.

Ah! That must be the leader.
After him.

Foolish, humans!

[zapping]

[hissing]

There's your real evil.

Not Futura and the other
poor people, you call witches.

But, but, but I thought youwere evil spirits too.

No. Our job is to get rid
of evil spirits.

Send them into limbo where they
can't bother anyone.

Then I was wrong and I must
make up for it.

-Maybe if we worked together.
-You bet.

-We can start right now.
-No, Jake.

It won't dematerialize him.
He's too strong.

But it'll slow that bozo down.

Now, my bratty, little rodent

I'll show you how to deal with
the Ghostbusters.

[beaming]

[hissing]

You think that dematerializer
toy can bother me

the master of evil?
Bwah-hah-hah.

-The wizard of wickedness.
-The goon of doom.

[grunting]

[evil laughter]

The dematerializer might not
send you into limbo, Prime Evil

but it's dried up enough
of your evil powers

so that the town's people can
handle you.

What?

[murmuring]

Stop, you foolish humans. Swineyou are, swine you shallbecome.

[hissing]

Now, be gone!

Blast! The dematerializer.

Taken my strength away.

[crowd murmuring]

[thud]

[Prime Evil]
Let me go.

Yea!

[instrumental music]

What a mess!

[grunting]

Brat-A-Rat? Oh, Brat-A-Rat?

Help your old master, please.

No chance, boss. Black and
white aren't my colors.
[laughing]

You'll pay for this.
All of you.

I think he's had enough.

Let's link my jewel with
the dematerializer.

It should give us enough power
to send 'em to Hood Quarters.

It's worth a try.

instrumental music]

Here goes nothin'.

I'll get you, Ghostbusters!
Just you wait.

[zapping]

He won't bother you again.
At least not for a while.

And we won't be looking for
witches behind every bush.

You've helped us learn
something about understanding

and tolerance.

[pleasant music]

Guess it's time to head
for home.

Right.

[music continues]

[beaming]

[engine rumbling]

We can say that this house has
definitely been de-ghosted.

Why, I'm glad we bought it.

Dad says we'll all be
moved in by tomorrow.

Are you scared that
they might come back.

Nope. You know what, I don't
think we ever have to worry
about ghosts.

They can't do anything
bad to us.

-Are you sure?
-Yup.

[Harvey] And if they try,
well, we'll just say...

[both]
Let's go, Ghostbusters!

In today's story the people
in Old Salem weren't afraid

of witches. They were
afraid of the unknown.

And that's something that
I can understand

'cause well I'm a little bit
afraid of the dark.

I'll bet you're not afraid once
the lights have been turned on.

Of course not.

Then it's not the dark, you're
afraid of, Belfry

it's what you can't see,
the unknown.

I get it. Once I learn about
somethin' don't have to be
afraid anymore.

Oh, I like it. Try it.
You will too.
