[intense music playing]
[male narrator] Twas the night
before Halloween
and all through Haunt-Quarters
every creature was waiting
for Prime Evil's orders.
[screeches] Everyone ready
for our annual Halloween haunt?
Why, of course, darling.
What's Halloween
without ghosts?
Aye, we ghosts have
to haunt on Halloween.
-However there is a problem.
-A problem?
Yes.
Every Halloween,
the... Ghostbusters interfere
with our haunting fun!
We have to do
something about them.
[Sassella]
I think I can help you,
Prime Evil.
[boom]
[screeches] Who are you?
My name is Sassella, the witch!
Ha ha ha!
I'm here to help you. Ha ha ha!
Oh! And just
what can you do for me?
I have a device that will
allow your ghost to scare
the Ghostbusters into
another business. Ha ha ha!
Impossible!
The... Ghostbusters
are not afraid of ghosts.
Ah! That's because
they're adults.
But let's suppose
the Ghostbusters
were five years old?
Like... so.
[dramatic music playing]
[Brat-A-Rat] She's shrinking!
Wrong, you fool!
She's getting younger! Look!
Right, Prime Evil.
Now, here's my idea.
Suppose I turn the Ghostbusters
into children...
Then I, and my ghostly hoard
could scare them.
Make them so scared,
they'd never want to be...
Ghostbusters!
I love it! Ha ha ha!
[intense music playing]
[fizz]
[piano music playing]
[horn honking]
[crickets chirping]
It's Halloween, guys!
Everybody ready
for trick-or-treaters?
[upbeat music playing]
I sure am, Jake.
I just hope Prime Evil
doesn't cause trouble.
[bell rings]
Oh, boy!
Ours first trick-or-treaters.
I'll take care of this round.
What a great costume.
Check this out!
[Eddie]Yeah! Looks just like a witch!
Real ugly!
Ah, gee!
Thanks for the compliment.
Now, I have something for you.
[all] For us?
[Eddie] Strange!
The hands move backward.
Uh-oh! [squeals]
Looks like trouble.
We've been tricked!
With this cloud
of mist and haze
bring these three
to younger days!
Ha ha ha!
Yikes! We-we're kids!
And so is Tracy.
Hello, children! He he he!
Yaow! A witch!
[Eddie] Let's get out of here!
[Prime Evil telepathically]
Screech!
Have you completed the spell?
Yes. I have made
the Ghostbusters
five years old.
He he he!
[Prime Evil telepathically] Very good! I'll take over now!
[Eddie Sr.]
I wonder where our sons are.
They should've
been here by now.
I'll give 'em a call.
Boy! Jake and Eddie
were sure cute at this age.
[Eddie Sr.]
Yeah. Wouldn't it be nice
to see them that young again?
Sure would.
[ringing]
You're in luck the Ghostbusters
are out tonight.
Way out! Ha ha ha!
Ansabone says the boys are out.
Let's go overand wait for them to get back.
Sure. It'd be nice
to see the old place again.
[crickets chirping]
[intense music playing]
[Ghost-Along laughing]
[Eddie Sr.]
Hey! That's old Ghost-Along.
I haven't seen him since
our ghost-bustin' days.
I didn't like him then
and I don't like him now.
[neighing]
[Ghost-Along]
Happy Halloween, partners.
[Eddie Sr.] What are you
doing back here?
Just surveying
my new territory.
The Ghostbusters
will hear of this!
The Ghostbusters are history.
Come on, Ghost Pony,
let's show 'em
who's the boss of this town.
[neighing]
Still ain't lost
my touch with a lasso.
[swish]
We've gotta
get to Ghost Command. Fast!
[Eddie Sr.]
Yeah. The Ghostbuster's will
put Ghost-Along in his place.
[upbeat music playing]
Those tenderfoots ain't getting
away that easy!
Let's show 'em
some of our tricks!
[neighing]
[dramatic music playing]
He he he!
I love it! I love it! He he he!
Yes! Perfect!
Now is the time
to strike before those bozos
can interfere with my plan!
Are you ready, ghosts?
[indistinct chattering]
[fizz]
[piano music playing]
[whoosh]
[dramatic music playing]
We're almost there, Spence.
Ha ha ha!
Now what will we do?
Oh, no!
First Jake and Eddie
are turned into kids
and now that ghost
is after their dads.
I better do something quick!
I'll give him the Belfry blast!
[screeching]
Ha ha! It worked!
[neighing]
Come on! Now's our chance!
[upbeat music playing]
[slam]
[both panting]
Thanks, Belfry.
Belfry, we've gotta talk
to Jake and Eddie.
There's a problem.
The guys were turned
into children by a witch.
-Children?
-By a witch?
Right!
Prime Evil must be behind this.
Right, Spence. I'll tune in
to his frequency
on Skelevision.
[static]
[screeches] Now, remember,
the spell that makes
the Ghost Bunglers
into ghost babies
only lasts an hour.
So you have one hour to make the little ghost babies
so afraid of ghosts, they'll never bother us again!
[dramatic music playing]
There are our little
ghost babies now!
[Eddie Sr.]
It's Jake, Eddie, and Tracy.
[Jake Sr.] But they're
no more than five years old.
That means that
Belfry was right.
They're kids again!
And Prime Evil's gonna try
to scare them out
of ghost busting.
Go to it, my bad friends.
And don't forget, you only have one hour to scare the little...
Ghostbusters
right out of business!
[dramatic music playing]
[crickets chirping]
-[child 1] Let's go! Come on!
-Whoo!
[stammering] This place
is sp-spooky!
Don't worry.
They're just k-kids.
That witch w-wasn't a kid.
[screaming]
There she is again.
Yike!
Oh, boy, these guys are nuts.
D-do you get the feelingthat s-somebody's watching us?
Y-Yeah!
[rustling]
[Long John] Ha ha ha!
[Eddie screaming]
[Fangster howling]
[intense music playing]
Boo!
Ha ha ha!
[boing]
Prime Evil's plan is working.
Gotta think of something!
[intense music playing]
You guys okay?
Ye-ye-ye...
Spence, I think it's time
for us old Ghostbusters
to come out of retirement.
Right.
[both] Let's go, Ghostbusters!
[both screaming]
Brr! Hey! Be careful!
Those seats are r-real leather.
Old G.B., still the same grump,
after all these years.
But there's no time for gripes.
We've gotta get moving!
Now to set the G beeper
to find the boys.
[Jake Sr.] Ah! Bingo!
-We've found them.
-Right! And now to save them.
[Jake Sr.]
The G beeper says the boys
are right around here.
That means Prime Evil's ghostswill be here too.
Right! Let's get
the spare ghostpacks.
[intense music playing]
Oh! Either I'm getting older orthese bags have gotten heavier.
I think it's a bit of both.
[Jake] Help!
[Eddie] Somebody help us!
[Eddie Sr.] That's the boys!
[upbeat music playing]
And they're in trouble.
Come on!
Hold on, Jake. I'll save you!
[Eddie Sr.] Be right there,
Eddie.
Well, the reinforcements
have arrived!
[upbeat music playing]
It's our daddies.
Yeah! We're saved.
You'll be okay now.
Oh! We were so afraid.
Hey! You mustn't be
afraid, boys.
That's what Prime Evil wants.
It's time to teach those two
fools not to interfere
in Prime Evil's business.
[upbeat music playing]
Ah! We meet again,
senior Ghost Bunglers!
[intense music playing]
So, you fiend...
you have to resort to
pickin' on
defenseless children!
Perhaps you'dlike me to pick on you adults?
[wind whooshing]
[music continues]
[both] Dad!
Oh! That will show 'em!
Aye, there you go.
That'll learn 'em
a thing or two.
Come on,
they're telling us to run!
[music continues]
Get them! [screeches]
[dramatic music playing]
Maybe there's something
in here that will free us.
The ghost gaffer should do it.
[thud]
Hurry! Prime Evil
is still after the boys.
[instrumental music playing]
[Eddie] It's too high.
Tracy, this is
no time to do exercises.
Nice work, Tracy.
Now you!
[all screaming]
[thud]
[music continues]
Everybody okay?
I think so.
Oh, children!
At last I found ya.
[instrumental music playing]
Nice job, Apparitia.
[howling] We've got you now.
[all screaming]
[intense music playing]
[Long John]
Salute the flag, boys.
[all crying]
[music continues]
[screeches] They're pretty
frightened. Ha ha ha!
I don't think they'll ever want
to see a ghost again!
Looks like my plan will work!
[boom]
[Jake Sr.] Faster, G.B. Faster!
You haven't won yet,
Prime Evil!
[laughing] It's my daddy.
[upbeat music playing]
Not the dematerializers!
Darn it!
They changed the controls
since we last used them.
Something wrong?
Let me lift your spirits.
[wind howling]
This wind has us trapped.
One more scare
should do it, gang.
And hurry!
The hour is almost up!
[all howling]
I can't look at anymore ghosts!
[Eddie stammering]
Me-me-me neither.
[Jake Sr.] No, Jake,
you must look at them!
The ghosts can't win
if you show them
you're not afraid.
[Jake] But t-they'll hurt us!
[Jake Sr.] No! They only want
to make you afraid.
Please, boys,
you must listen to us.
No! You must listen to me!
For I am Prime Evil!
[screeches]
[thunder rumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
[all gasp]
[ghosts bellowing]
Ha ha ha!
-No boys!
-Don't be scared!
Listen to us!
I have won. I've won!
The boys are so frightened now,they'll never grow up to be...
Ghostbusters!
No!
[Jake Sr.] Look at them, boys!It's your only chance!
[Eddie Sr.] The ghost can't win
if you show
them you're not afraid!
[dramatic music playing]
Look at them.
Look at them or they'll win.
Don't be afraid.
Be brave! Brave!
Like our fathers!
So you're not afraid, eh?
[all] No!
That's it, boys!
No! The hours over
and they've broken the spell.
But they're still powerless
without their ghostpacks!
[Jake Sr.] Catch!
[dramatic music playing]
What were you saying,
ecto breath?
Argh! We'll meet again,
Ghost Bunglers!
And we'll be ready!
Now to rescue our fathers.
Careful. Don't get caught
in the wind.
Climb aboard! Let's go home!
After what we've been through,I just wanna forget
about Prime Evil for a while.
[Eddie Sr.] Uh-oh! We left
it on Prime Evil's frequency.
Your spell failed me!
Don't blame my spell just 'cause you couldn't scare
a couple of kids!
[Eddie] Ah! Turn it off!
[Jake Sr.]
Right! That's enough ghosts
for this Halloween.
It sure is.
It's good to have you back
in your normal age, son.
You too, Eddie.
[Jake Sr.]
Still it was nice seeing you
boys as children again.
Shucks!
What's wrong, Eddie?
We missed our chance.
While we were kids, we should
have gone trick-or-treatin'.
[all laughing]
That's right.
Hi, everybody, today I'd like
to talk about something
that can be kinda scary,
ghosts.
In our series, we make-believethat ghosts are real.
That's easy to do
'cause television
can make things
that aren't real
look as if they are.
Did you hear that, Fangster?
Jake says we weren't real.
You're not and I canget rid of you just like that.
By Jove, he's right!
See, so we all hope you like
watching our show
and we hope you remember,
it's all in fun.
Bye now. See you soon.
