Title: TRUE FACE OF A MONSTER- First Air Date: 9/3/97
The Ghostbusters respond to a call at a Jewish house of worship only to find that the church had been vandalized. The priest's son calls upon a biblical clay spirit to come protect the synagog, but the monster ends up being uncontrolable, and can't be destroyed until biggetry is obliterated. Garrett shows his true bravery in this episode, saving the group and his racism friends from near death, then disreguarding the racists as is friends.
Production Supervisor Shannon Muir's comments:
- A very strong episode with a very strong message about hate and racism. One of the most controversial and poignent episodes to date.
"Ghost-Apolyliptic Future" Writer Steve Perry's comments:
- You can't really get into that level of complexity in a 22-minute animated show, there isn't that much room. The characters will grow over the arc of the series, and after a couple of shows, you'll have a pretty good idea of who they are and what they stand for. There are some fairly deep issues covered in some of the individual shows, however. One of Marty and Bob's early episodes deals with racism and religious intolerance, for instance, and they do an excellent job with those issues.
