When the Necronamicon, the most powerful book of spells in the world, is stolen from the New York Public Library, the Ghostbusters find themselves up against the Spawn, and Cult, of Cathulhu who have stolen the book in order to bring the malevolent god back to Earth. Barely escaping from the Spawn when their weapons prove useless against them, as the Spawn are capable of super regeneration, the guys turn to Professor Alice Derleth, a beautiful scholar and spell user, from Arkham, Mass., to help them stop Cathulhu's return. The guys raid the Cult's meeting place, only to get attacked by another Spawn-like creature, called a Shuggoth, and Alice uses her spells to turn it to stone. The guys then turn to an old friend of Ray's who has access to old Pulp magazines that tell how to defeat Cathulhu (which H.P. Lovecraft and other authors wrote based on the Necronomicon). The team heads to Coney Island, but are unable to stop the resurrection, as Cathulhu rampages through the park. The Ghostbusters proton packs and Alice's spells prove useless in stopping the powerful 'Old One', and the boys are left with one option. Peter lures Cathulhu towards the rollercoaster by shooting it in the head, so that the guys can ionize the coaster enough to attract a lightning bolt, blasting Cathulhu with 100 gigavolts of electricity, which sends the creature back into hibernation. The Cult of Cathulhu is arrested by the cops, and Alice returns the Necronomicon to Arkham, but not before Peter takes her out on a date. Though her version of a date is far different than Peter's.
