-[indistinct police radio chatter]
-[thudding and clattering in building]
[glass shatters]
[man] Help.
[yelling]
Come out with your hands up.
[gasps]
-I told you the place was haunted.
-[Garrett] At ease, officers.
I'll handle it.
Now, stay back, son.
We got a dangerous situation here.
[scoffs] Dangerous? It's a level C.
It's gonna wish it never died.
Yippee-ki-yay!
[ominous music playing]
[growling]
Ooh. You're pretty ugly
for a level C, ain't you?
-[Egon] Garrett, do you read me?
-Not now, Egon, I'm busy.
Shouldn't you be waiting for backup?
-[whimsical music playing]
-[hammer clanking]
So we don't get there.
Cops will handle it.
Garrett's gone. Let's move.
Oh, man.
Socket wrench, please. Hello?
You don't scare me, Casper.
I ain't afraid of you.
[growls]
I ain't afraid of nothing.
[eerie music playing]
[shrieks]
[yells, then grunts]
Except small, confined spaces.
[chortles]
Heads up, Chuckles.
-Garrett? Garrett?
-Maybe he's dead?
[telephone rings]
Hello? Garrett, where are you?
I'm in the phone booth.

[ominous music playing]
A little spit and polish
and this rat trap will be
the swankiest nightclub in the city.
Uh, Mr. Swank, look at this.
1, uh, wouldn't recommend
going down there.
I may be afraid of heights,
but I'm not afraid of the dark.
This place goes on forever.
[yells]
[yells]
[yells, then grunts]
[yells]
Help me. Somebody, help me.
[ghost chittering]
[whimsical music playing]
[Egon] This is one specimen
of spectral phenomena
that doesn't belong on the streets.
Good job, Ghostbusters.
Under my supervision, of course.
"Spectral phenomenon"?
Egon's a geek.
He's a brilliant geek.
Go kiss him. You know you want to.
Yep, he was one bad ghost all right.
Taking him down wasn't easy.
I had to soften him up first.
I've been meaning
to bring that up, Garrett.
Don't you think heading in there alone
was a little risky?
[scoffs] No sweat.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I don't know,
you looked pretty clammy
when we pulled you
out of that phone booth.
Oh, yeah? Well, I'm getting
mighty crabby listening to your fat trap.
Children.
I am not scared of ghosts.
I'm not scared of anything.
Besides, the Ecto-1 pooped out.
What was I supposed to do?
Just sit around?
[groans] Garrett's right.
The Ecto-I had a clogged fuel line.
I never should have let it leave
the garage that way.
Roland, it wasn't your fault.
Sure it was, Kylie.
It's my job to make sure
the hardware around here is reliable.
Yeah, well, whose job is it
to make sure the fridge is reliable?
[belches]
-[Kylie] Slimer.
-Oh!
You ate all our lunches?
Growing teenagers need their nutrients.
-Can we kill him?
-No, he's already dead.
Well, it seems Slimer also ate
the steamed broccoli I made for Egon.
[gasps]
[Slimer retching]
[rings]
Extreme Ghostbusters.
We ain't afraid of no ghosts.
Uh-huh.
All right. See you in 30 minutes or less,
or you don't pay.
We got a situation, people.
[ominous music playing]
Don't let me fall, please.
[wails] Don't let me fall.
-[beeping]
-Oh, he's got a nice ecto-afterglow.
It's okay, sir, you're on terra firm a now.
Weird. Just before Swank went in,
he said he had a fear of heights.
[scoffs] It's a basement, man.
He went down, not up.
Well, that's what I mean.
Don't you think it's weird?
[eerie music playing]
No electric. There's a surprise.
Hey, you guys
wanna see something cool?
There's nothing cool
about a broken spine, Garrett.
Oh, yeah, I might lose
the use of a limb.
Something's here.
Ready?
[screams]
[groaning]
Slimer, what are you doing here?
What else? Looking for food.
Where'd you get that?
Hey.
-[whimsical music plays]
-[whistling]
[eerie music playing]
Whoo. This place is like a maze.
-We'd better split up.
-"Split up"?
[proton pack energizes]
-Yes.
-Just scream if you run into trouble.
I'm not a screamer.
[whirring]
Nothing.
[eerie music continues]
[beeping]
[yells]
[screaming]
[grunts]
Real swift, Kylie.
[gasps]
[gasping]
[screaming]
[eerie music playing]
[Kylie screaming]
[screams]
That sounded like Kylie.
"I'm not a screamer.”
[Kylie screaming]
This way.
[gasping]
Kylie? [grunts]
-You okay?
-Do I look okay?
Not really.
[Roland] Where is it?
Cover me.
-Okay.
-[proton pack energizes]
[Roland] Ugh! Gross.
What? What is it?
Trash.
Well, whatever it was turned
the ice queen into a scream queen.
Must have been wearing its guts
on the outside or something.
It was a level A, wasn't it?
Oh, I do love a challenge.
It was
maggots.
Regular maggots?
Non-level A, non-ectoplasmic
run-of-the-mill maggots?
A chick who keeps her doll
in a spider's web is afraid of worms?
Why is it everyone thinks I'm Vampira?
-Black hair.
-Black nail polish.
Likes Nine Inch Nails.
It cuts deeper. Admit it.
Maggots are symbolic.
You are really afraid of death.
Oh, yeah, that's deep.
No, I'm afraid of maggots.
They creep me out, okay?
Gee, bite my head off.
I thought everyone
was afraid of death.
Ha. Speak for yourself.
So where are they?
Maggots don't just up and split.
I mean, they're maggots.
They move slow.
Something was in there.
I got a strong P.K.E. read.
Oh, who cares about the maggots?
Let's find us a ghost already.
[meter beeping]
Verified. I'm showing traces.
You guys show up,
then there's no ghosts and no maggots.
Eduardo's right.
Something weird is going on.
Yeah, Kylie's saying
we got us some fast maggots.
No, I'm saying,
what if the maggots are the ghost?
[ominous music playing]
So you're saying
we're dealing with a shape-shifter?
Maybe.
It could be a Class 5 demonoid.
All we know is Swank had acrophobia,
a fear of heights,
and he found himself
a mile in the sky down here.
Nothing scares me
more than maggots, and
You get the picture.
But nobody knew your fear.
This thing, whatever it is, it knew.
Somehow, it sniffs out our deepest fear.
[chittering]
And makes it come true.
Well, I should be okay.
The only thing that scares me
is my equipment breaking down.
So, uh, what spooks you, Eddie?
I see you as a fear-of-being-naked-
in-public kind of guy.
I'm gonna find out what your fear is
and shove it in your face.
Oh, yeah? You and who else,
Mr. Scrawny, fear-of-being-naked man?
Roland? Roland? He vanished.
-Roland?
-[static hissing]
Do you read me? Roland?
Nada. Maybe he's dead?
[Roland] How did I get here?
Kylie? Garrett?
You guys all right?
The only way out of here
is the hard way.
[tense music playing]
[chittering]
[screaming]
Roland? Roland?
Maybe we should split up again?
-No.
-No. I mean, uh, well,
you remember
what happened to you last time.
You're right.
That's probably what it wants,
whatever it is.
[yells]
[both gasp]
Kylie.
[grunting]
[eerie music playing]
[gasps, then grunts]
[panting]
[gasps]
No!
[yelps]
Oh, no.
[groaning]
[roars]
[screams]
Hello?
Hello?
[dramatic sting playing]
[screaming]
[chittering]
Why do I get the feeling
we lost Slimer too?
Because it's picking us off, man.
It's taking us down one by one.
Rhetorical question.
Get ready to face your fear,
peach fuzz.
How do you know mine's next?
Nothing scares me, remember?
I don't have a fear.
Yeah? Well, that makes two of us.
[eerie music playing]
Oh, no. Oh, no.
[dramatic organ music playing]
[screams]
It's a coffin.
My coffin.
[Garrett] Oh.
So that's your fear?
The big D?
At least my fear's normal, man.
At least I'm not afraid of maggots.
What are you afraid of, mayonnaise?
[screams] Oh, no!
-Eddie?
-No. Let go.
No.
-No.
-It's me.
-I'm dead.
-No!
Eddie!
It's not just a coffin.
It's my fear.
[yelling]
[wheels squeaking]
[Garrett groans] Come on, Garrett.
There's nothing to fear
but fear itself, right?
Maybe the others will find me.
Oh, wait a second.
I'm more afraid of that.
I'm not letting anyone think I'm a pansy.
It's all in my mind.
Nothing to fear but fear itself.
Hey, how about that?
I could be onto something.
Wherever you are, you'd better run,
because I'm coming for you.
Think positive, Garrett. You can beat it.
[dramatic music playing]
[music turns ominous]
[yelling]
[brakes squeak]
Nothing to fear but fear itself.
[thudding]
Well, I am feeling a little closed in.
[proton pack energizing]
Kylie. Listen, I figured it out.
-[gasp]
-Nothing to fear but fear itself.
These things are all in our heads.
-They're not real.
-[roaring]
[grunts] Okay, so they're real.
The good news is, this cripple's faster
than any lard-butt
mother of all maggots.
-Hold on tight.
-Stairs.
-[Kylie yelling]
-[Garrett grunting]
Wanna ride again?
[groans]
[moaning]
Eddie? You don't look so good.
Look out!
It's not me.
Keep it away! Keep it away!
[ghost chittering]
Don't ask. It's my fear.
[roars]
Any ideas?
Maybe we could all learn
to face our fears.
Not an option, Roland.
Okay. We know these aren't illusions.
Whatever we're up against
actually materializes our fears.
We can't face our fears. It knows that.
Cut to the chase, man. It's touching me.
What I'm trying to say is,
I ain't afraid of no stinking maggot.
We can fight each other's fears.
Look at me. I'm a monster truck.
[dramatic music playing]
You're afraid of ghosts?
Hey, that's not any ghost.
Oh, yeah, I see a resemblance.
This ought to be fun.
Guess I'll take the maggot!
[roaring]
Gross.
Now.
[roars]
[screaming]
Presto.
-[whimsical music plays]
-[gibbering]
[dramatic music playing]
We've faced our worst fears
and survived.
Our enemy can't get any stronger.
So let's find it and kick its butt.
-[beeping]
-It's here.
[ghost chittering]
That's it? This is fear itself?
It's afraid of us.
Cool. Let's nuke it.
It's afraid and it's weak.
We beat it.
There's nothing left to fear.
It's probably been here
undisturbed for eons
until the nightclub people found it.
What, it doesn't like disco?
Everyone likes disco.
It doesn't mean any harm.
It was just defending its realm.
So if we're not gonna nuke it,
what are we gonna do?
[upbeat music playing]
[Kylie] Everyone wins.
We bury our fears
and the creature's left alone in peace.
Garrett, I don't remember
seeing your fear.
[chuckles] How soon you forget.
I am fearless, remember?
-Fine.
-We're out of here.
You know, I just hope
the creature's not claustrophobic.
What? Uh, what made you say that?
What do you mean?
Come on, if you have a point to make,
make it. [scoffs]
