Every day the ghoulies get bigger and uglier and slimier.

-[Garrett] Look at the bright side. -What?

[Garrett] So do you. Ha!

[Eduardo] I'm so not up for you right now, roller boy.

[Garrett] Oh, yeah? Well, are you up for that thing?

[Eduardo] What thing? [screams]

[beeping]

[Eduardo] What a rip!

You know, it wouldn't kill you guys to chip in a little.

No way. I'm here under protest.

I'm missing March Madness. Big game today.

How often does a major paranormal conference

come to Atlantic City?

I still can't figure out why you want to waste spring break

with a bunch of ghost geeks,

when we could be catching some serious rays.

I can't figure out why we have to stop off in the middle of nowhere

just for this piece of junk.

I'm getting it authenticated for my history professor.

This sword may have actually belonged to Commodore Stephen Decatur.

The American naval hero.

[ominous music playing]

And that piece of junk is tied to a legend

that you all would probably find very fascinating.

[snoring]

-[creature shrieks] -[gasping]

It wasn't me.

[all yelling]

[shrieks]

[dramatic music playing]

-[yells] -Hey, my car!

You always said you wanted a convertible.

It did that to the roof. What's it gonna do to us?

[shrieking]

-[suspenseful music playing] -[engine revs]

[Garrett] Talk about heart burn!

That thing's got a hole in its belly I could shoot hoops through!

[shrieks]

Brace yourself, guys. It's gonna get a little bumpy.

-[tires screech] -[yelling]

Way to go Speed Racer.

I knew you could drive, buy I didn't know you could drive.

No good. We can't shake him.

[suspenseful music playing]

[shrieking]

[screeches]

-Nice move. -Go! The off-road warrior!

What the heck was that?

Who cares? Let's just keep this pace to Atlantic City.

[siren wailing]

Okay. Just let me do the talking.

See your license?

-Didn't you see that flying lizard? -It was as big as a horse!

-Like it was made out of rust. -Look what it did to our roof.

-After all these years. The Jersey Devil. -[ominous music playing]

The hockey team?

The demon. It's haunted the Pine Barrens for over 200 years.

I gotta warn the town!

-[siren wailing] -[tires screech]

Well, that's one way to beat a ticket.

We better call Egon. This town is gonna need our help.

Egon, listen. Just pack up some proton packs

and get down here as soon as possible.

Otherwise, we'll only be shooting it with our cameras.

Afternoon, ladies.

Is there anywhere around here I can get a bite to eat?

Hm. [sighs]

Living in the Big Apple,

I've really missed this small town hospitality.

I'm heading over to the museum. Want to come with?

No, thanks.

I think I'll stay here and check out the thriving club scene.

-[Kylie] Excuse me, waitress? -[tense music playing]

Is it just me, or is the service here remarkably rude?

-I hadn't noticed. -[clears throat]

If they're this happy for their bicentennial,

I'd hate to see them at tax time.

Could I get a little ketchup here?

What?

I can't take this anymore!

What's with you people?

We're outsiders, fine.

Is that any reason to treat us like lepers?

Well, you did rile up the Jersey Devil.

Just chill, Gomer.

We can take care of your flying rust bucket.

We're scientists.

In fact, our associate is rushing our equipment to us

even as we speak.

[horns honking]

[Janine] I said, "Let's take the bridge."

But, no. Your way is much faster.

-[whimsical music playing] -[horns continue honking]

[belches]

[ominous music playing]

Uh, museum is closed. [chuckles]

Uh, come back tomorrow.

Uh, actually I'm here about Stephen Decatur's sword.

I called you earlier.

Oh, right. [chuckles]

Say, this wouldn't have anything to do with old JD now, would it?

He seems to be the talk of the town this morning.

-JD? -Jersey Devil.

Jersey's most famous native, after that Springsteen kid.

Although most folks in Hanover would just as soon try to forget him.

What is it? Where did it come from? And why was it chasing after us?

[laughs]

Now, there's a switch, someone who wants to hear the story.

I think I may get to like you, son.

Old JD erupted out of this very forge over 200 years ago.

Commodore Decatur stopped him from destroying the town

with a cannon ball in the gut.

They shut down the forge, not long after.

I've been working to get it up and running again

for the town's bicentennial.

So, how about that sword?

Uh, here.

Wow! This is the real one.

Forged from the heart of the beast, according to the legends.

The heart of the beast?

[Jersey Devil shrieking]

[dramatic music playing]

Check it out.

-[White] Everyone, get indoors now! -[people screaming]

Don't. You'll just make him mad.

-[shrieking] -[gunshot]

-[grunts] -[gasps]

Nice shooting, Tex.

[snarls]

Run for it! I'll hold him here.

How?

I have no idea.

[shrieks, then growls]

[shrieking]

Uh...

Hey!

How about picking on someone your own size?

How about I just keep my big mouth shut?

[dramatic music playing]

[grunting]

[roars]

Here, try these!

I don't see how this stuff will work any better.

Trust me.

[shrieks]

[grunts]

-What happened? -Hanover iron.

This stuff came out of the forge around the same time as old JD.

It's the one thing that can hurt him.

I'll say, it took a chunk right out of him.

[shrieking]

What now?

-Run? -Not really an option.

-[horn honks] -[tires screech]

Here, throw these. Quick.

What do we look like? Tom and Jerry?

[shrieks]

Whoa, it's working?

But, how?

Who cares, just keep chucking stuff.

[shrieking]

Check it out. Tall, dark and rusty is taking off.

[ominous music playing]

[sighs] Nice timing, Roland.

Don't thank me. Ben's the man with the plan.

Uh, guys, a little help?

-[whimsical music playing] -You have got to be kidding.

What am I? Morticia?

[chuckles]

You're lucky I still had that old thing in storage.

What were you saying before

about this being forged from the heart of the beast?

Decatur's cannon ball actually ripped a chunk out of JD.

He forged the demon fragment into this sword.

Well, that's the story anyway.

Maybe that's why it's been chasing after us this whole time.

Yeah, yeah. And these artifacts from the local iron works

were like kryptonite to this thing.

How long till you get here?

[Egon] Sorry. But not only have we not made any progress,

but now Slimer's getting carsick.

-[Slimer groaning] -Ugh!

Not on me. Out the window.

It sounds like you're dealing with a Class 3 Biopheric Specter.

A demonic life force inhabiting iron ore and other minerals.

[inhales, then coughs]

[grunting]

-Oy. -[Egon] I suspect the smelting process

which allowed the creature access to our world

may also have produced residual ecto matter in the iron.

This residual ecto matter, it'd be harmful to the creature, right?

Precisely. So just hold on as best you can

and let me know if anything comes up.

Hey.

You want us to what?

Help us hold off the Jersey Devil.

-Just for a few hours. -[chattering]

I think you kids have brought enough trouble into this town.

You don't understand. Once our equipment gets here,

we can take this thing off your hands for good.

No, you don't understand.

I'm telling you to get in your car and leave.

Now.

You gotta let us help you.

We deal with this kind of thing all the time.

That's right. Maybe you've heard of us. The Ghostbusters?

[tense music playing]

Hayseeds.

Either you're looking at the inside of your car

or the inside of a cell.

-Your choice. -No problemo.

We're missing the casino floor show as it is.

-[ominous music playing] -[Jersey Devil shrieking]

[people screaming]

All right. If you won't let us stay here and fight the creature,

we'll just have to lead it out of town.

Kylie, what are you doing?

Yo, JD. You looking for something?

[shrieking]

[yells]

[shrieks]

This is not good.

[roars]

[dramatic music playing]

[people screaming]

You just made it whole again. It's stronger than ever.

[growls]

[cannon fires]

[shrieks]

Hanover iron.

Just like the Commodore used.

Well, it's not exactly a proton pack.

Who cares?

Anything to keep Reptilicus off our backs until Egon shows up.

He better get here soon.

We've only got three shots left.

[White] Hold it!

I know this looks bad, but we really can help you.

Not exactly what we had in mind.

The Jersey Devil never gave us too much trouble until you showed up.

Have you taken leave of your senses? This is inhuman.

That creature is threatening my town.

The only way to appease it is to give up these agitators.

You don't know that.

You're supposed to be the expert on that thing.

Isn't this how it worked in the past?

Aw, but those are just stories.

Well, then your friends got nothing to worry about.

Anyone else got a problem with this?

Um...

Shut up!

[Jersey Devil shrieking]

[people gasping]

-Go home. Lock up your doors now! -[ominous music playing]

Hey!

Just for the record, I voted to spend spring break in Daytona Beach.

Is it too late to change my vote?

[suspenseful music playing]

If anybody's got a plan, I'm all in favor of it.

-[grunting] -Come on, already.

[grunting]

Oh, man. I am loving this chair.

Keep him distracted.

-[shrieking] -Hey!

This way.

We gotta get out of these things! Garrett doesn't have a chance.

[dramatic music playing]

[laughs]

[shrieking]

[Garrett] Back off, rusty.

Now would be a really good time for Egon to show up.

Let's just get to that cannon.

[shrieking]

There is no way we can hold it off with only three shots.

Less talk. More running.

Anyone know how to work this thing?

-Step aside. -Ben?

You didn't think I was gonna let you tackle JD all alone, did you?

Now, uh, if one of you young folks could load me up a cannon ball.

-[dramatic music playing] -[shrieking]

[shrieks]

We're gonna need more fireworks than this

to keep him away for good.

[Roland] Of course, the iron works.

The creature inhabits iron ore, right?

If we can lure it into the forge,

we can melt it back into its original form.

Sounds like a long shot to me.

Long shots are our specialty.

You're gonna need some help getting that furnace cooking.

-Think you can handle the cannon? -How hard could it be?

[siren wailing]

Looks like the Sheriff of Nottingham's gonna get us, if the big ugly doesn't.

You load, I'll fire.

Oh, man. Too much gun powder.

[siren wailing]

Nope. Exactly enough.

[clanking]

[hissing]

[grunts]

Not nearly enough. We need more firewood.

Never cared much for this old desk, anyway.

[Kylie grunts]

[all grunting]

That did it.

[Eduardo] My turn.

Better make it count 'cause it's our last one.

We have to get that thing in front of the furnace first.

How are we gonna do that?

By giving it what it wants.

Hello? Didn't you see him eat the sword?

Yeah, well, I've got something else he might be interested in.

Just get ready to fire.

[suspenseful music playing]

Hey! Big and ugly.

I still have a part of you.

[shrieking]

[gasps]

[growls]

[shrieking]

What are you waiting for? Go!

[dramatic music playing]

[shrieking]

[grunting]

[Jersey Devil shrieking]

[grunts]

[roars]

[roars]

[eerie music playing]

[people gasping and chattering]

-Whoa! -Huh?

-What the... -What?

[laughing]

-Thanks for the assist. -Was the least I could do.

I guess, we owe you all an apology.

-Is the Jersey Devil really gone? -The ghost has been busted.

[siren blaring]

Heads up, gang. The cavalry has arrived.

I'm afraid it's all over now. This town is officially clean.

-[gibbering] -[whimsical music playing]

Then, what do you call that?

Don't worry about him. That's just...

-[woman] What is that thing? -[crowd screaming]

Wait. Don't run!

Hey, Slimer, I think you need to work on your people skills.

-[laughing] -[whimsical music playing]

[haunting music playing]
