Title: DEADLINERS- First Air Date: 9/5/97
Deadliners proved that Ghostbusters still isn't just for kids. A series much like the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine called Gore is one of the most popular books in New York. But the book ends up being almost too real as the author summons the spirits to rise from the pages of the book and haunt the city, turning humans into zombies. All of a sudden, dissaperances start popping up all over the place, near the writer, Jay M. Kline's, mansion. Not much of a coincidence. Seeing as how he was taken prisoner by spirits called, the Vathek. His own creatons where brought to life, when he wrote them into existance. It's up to the EGB to save the day. In this episode, we find out that Garret wrote a script based on the GB's experience. Garrets the only one to survive the story, and the rest of them are killed off in the last two pages.
Production Supervisor Shannon Muir's comments:
- An episode which originally as scripted would have recieved a TV-13 rating, a very interesting episode and one of the best so far. A chilling, dark, and rustic theme is kept throughout the show making this a stand out with a great story.
