Ok I missed the thread on the scareway. I looked all over the web, and of coarse the box sets. What is it? Thank you.

lol, yeah I found some info in the box set 2 in the Series Bible.....
"One way to get in and out of Ghost Central is an effects-laden tubular portal known as the Scareway. One end of the scareway leads to ghost central. Prime Evil can control the location of the other end, allowing himself or his ghosts to appear anywhere from the bell tower of a medieval castle to a manhole in a busy cosmopolitan intersection to a Utopian asterold of the 30th century!!"
Which offhand is confusing still. Heres what they said on the Bonetroller:
"In Prime Evil's chamber, easily the most distinctive furnishing is the Bonetroller, a large console composed of a row of bones which function like levers controlling much of the evil magic throughout Ghost Central."
Ok so now let me state what I don't get.......Where does the bonetroller end and the Scareway begin?
From what i now know I think the viewer, piano, and anything white is the Scareway, and the Bonetroller is everythingelse that is mostly yellow bones.
Thoughts........Any? Am I right?

The Scareway is the wormhole itself. An interdimensional corridor --- NOT artificial. It's a quantic gate placed in-between dimensions. So I guess the Bonetroller is the artificial medium to manipulate/control the spontaneously-generated wormhole known as 'Scareway'.

I read that twice before even daring to post this thread as its the only thing your find online that talks about a scareway. It doesn't help me. BTW, does your responce mean I don't get it yet? |

No Devil, you got it right, it's just that I didn't know if you had already spotted that thread before...  |

Maybe it's not artificial as such, Prime, but I like to think it always existed and Prime Evil simply made it faster/easier to get through. It's not unakin to building a freeway across a patch of what was very unmanageable frontier terrain. The Bone Troller's the pipe organ that controls the Scareway--who goes through it and where they end up...and rescuing them after they get a Dematerializer blast. |

So the Bonetroller is a sort of "converter" to reconstitute the basic physical/energetical form of the Ghosts.
You're right, Nix, that interdimensional zone was very unstable by default.

That's the easiest way I can think of to explain the ghosts' seeming Joker Immunity (TM), yes. Not so much unstable as unpredictable. The ghosts of the 1975 series seemed not to know exactly when a hole was going to open up and took the first chance they could get, which is why they looked so bedraggled when they appeared in the graveyard or haunted house. |

Wondering how Zero got the info(s) in the first place.

Wondering how Zero got the info(s) in the first place. While we're on the subject did he learn it from Prime Evil or did Prime Evil get the into from Zero. Zero is a man of mystery! |

While we're on the subject did he learn it from Prime Evil or did Prime Evil get the info from Zero. In my opinion, probably neither. What I'm trying to get at is, ghosts would arrive and "settle down" in the haunted house to regroup. It would take them a few days before they'd actually get around to their plans. This would give Zero enough time to learn about their presence and get his message off to the Ghost Busters. This would seem to suggest that Zero is a bit like The Shadow in that regard; the owner of the general store is another of his agents, and the store itself is a "safe drop" where messages can be kept until the heroes arrive. From this, we can assume that there are other teams of Ghost Busters around the world, and Spenser, Tracy, and Kong are only one such team--in fact, they were probably more effective than others. So effective were they, that after the strange case of the Abdominabubble Snowman, things got very quiet for ten or so years. (My feeling is, word about S,T,&K got around in the Spirit World and the ghosts stopped trying.) As business slowed once and for all, Zero's GB teams quietly stopped working. *Our* heroes, however, knew that there were still a few ghosts left hanging around, and set up a small business in order to deal with the sporadic hauntings within the city limits. But these were slim pickings, and Spenser and Kong found other things to do like spending time with their sons Jake and Eddie, leaving Tracy to go back and help Zero develop some new equipment like the Ghost Gummer and a new, far more mobile Ghost Buggy. Zero has seen the signs, all pointing to something evil...PRIME EVIL. |
