Just watched the directors commentary on this one on the DVD, and they cant give much praise to the songs. I personally think the songs almost ruined the whole thing. As a Ghostbusters nut there's almost nothing here to like. They invented a bogus Halloween legend. They dumped a superior monster, Samhain, in favor of this jive talking idiot. And they rewrote a lot of rules of ghostbuster lore (power pack run dry, etc).

THIS is inferior to the Samhain eps in every way.

@SpreadingtheMuse its not inferior to the old halloween episode in EVERY way. the animation in this episode is far superior to the animation in "When Halloween Was Forever"

"I've been, like, SLIMED."

"I've been waiting to do that for five years!"

"Slimer, YOU'RE DEAD!"

"Oh, good observation, Peter..."

This episode has got to have the BEST. SLIMER MOMENTS. EVER.

(But aw, poor Peter D: )

@Forysan An interesting sidenote to your complaint is that this may be why TV on DVD is such a trend now. Everything is so PC strangled right now, that the only way people can watch what they want is by buying a disc that people are afraid to put on the air. Classics survive because they were made before these PC critics would have killed it. But of course what these PC censors allow will probably be here today and gone tomorrow.

@animehunter23 Agreed, holidays aren't as fun as they use to be because everybody's petrafied somebody MIGHT get offended; it's the same with MLK Day, very few specials these days. GOD FORBID WE OFFEND THE NEO NAZIS! LOL. Granted, I'm a born again Christian & about as conservative as they come, so looking back I totally get why my parents censored my viewing options as a child, but that's just it; IT'S THE PARENTS JOB TO MONITOR THEIR KIDS, NOT THE SYSTEM'S (ESPECIALLY NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S)..

ah, the good old days when cartoons actually had halloween special episodes that were ACTUALLY SHOWN IN OCTOBER!. jeez producers get it through your heads, you do the same thing with christmas episodes. least simpsons have an excuse...
