On Christmas Eve, the Ghostbusters are hired by a ruthless millionaire to capture two ghosts that have haunted him for decades. If they succeed, they will be paid $4 million but at what cost?

Trivia[]

  • On Page 4, Peter mentions Caesar's Palace, a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas.
  • On Page 6, Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence are mentioned during Fraser's backstory.
  • On Page 6, Fortune 500 is mentioned during Fraser's backstory. It is Fortune magazine's annual list of the top 500 companies in the United States of America.
  • On Page 8, Peter mentions his freshman year at Columbia University. This is one location used for filming in Ghostbusters but it was never stated nor shown to be Columbia.
  • On Page 10, Egon mentions Charles Dickens. Based on his deduction that the ghost is the Ghost of Christmas Past, this story is non-canon to The Real Ghostbusters, where this trio was encountered once.
  • The Ghost of Christmas Future is the only entity from the story to appear on one of the comic's covers.
