* BalkingSummonedSpirit: "Chicken, He Clucked" has a man named Cubby calling on a demon named Morganan, and demands Morganan get rid of all the chickens in the world (Cubby lives over a Chicken restaurant and is tormented by the smell). Morganan is embarrassed by the request, and tries to talk Cubby into quite a few other ideas, but Cubby is firm. He wants rid of the chickens. Morganan offers to give him power to make things appear, and disappear at will. Morganan ends up enlisting the help of the Ghostbusters after word of the deal spreads through the underworld and ruins Morganan's reputation.

A man named Cubby, who lives above several chicken restaurants, hates the smell. When a woman in the park tells him he smells of chicken, he goes insane and decides to get rid of every chicken in the world. He goes to the library to check some occult books out, but runs into Egon, who's after the same books. He warns Cubby that the books are dangerous, but Cubby ignores Egon and runs out screaming about chickens.
While the Ghostbusters and Slimer do their usual in the firehouse, Cubby uses the books he borrowed to summon a demon named Morganon. When Cubby explains that he wants to get rid of the world's chickens, Morganon is dismayed at such a "wasteful" wish but grants it anyway by giving Cubby the power to make whatever he wants appear or disappear.
The next morning, Cubby uses his powers to make all the chickens in the world, plus a chicken-shaped sign, disappear. The Ghostbusters get called about this, and Egon remembers Cubby from the library, so goes back and gets his address from the librarian (who has a crush on him). The Ghostbusters confront Cubby, who sends them to the same dimension he sent the chickens.
There, they fall and are about to fall to their death when they land in the Underworld. Morganon reveals that the bargain he struck with Cubby has made him a laughingstock, so he asks them to help undo it. The Ghostbusters agree, so Morganon sends them home.
Egon makes some animatronic chickens, and they use them to trick Cubby into thinking that when they came back, so did the chickens. Cubby tells the chickens to "go back where you came from", which returns the real chickens. Thus, Morganon breaks the contract and removes Cubby's powers. The Ghosbusters then take Cubby to a loony bin, where Morganon trolls him by disguising himself as a nurse and offering him chicken.

* VisibleOdor: The smell of the cooked chicken is shown as steam.
