Synopsis

A werechicken- a chicken version of a werewolf- attacks a farmer and his wife. The Ghostbusters arrive and deal with the monster. They soon discover an egg it laid and bring it back to the station. The egg hatches and the baby werechicken bites Egon and he turns into a werechicken himself. The guys scramble to make chickenbane soup, but it partly worked because of the missing chickenbane. Meanwhile, the werechicken that bit Egon grew to giant-size and rampaged the city. Egon's weather balloon made it snow to freeze the monster and all's well that ends well.

Production notes

After being broadcast on ABC in the show "Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters," this series was syndicated, with new episodes, as "The Real Ghostbusters." In early September 1987, many station managers ran this and a similarly named Filmation series called "Ghostbusters." opposite each other until they saw what they were doing to themselves.
