History

The Scoleri brothers were Nunzio Scoleri and Tony Scoleri who were convicted murderers sentenced to death by electrocution by Judge Stephen "The Hammer" Wexler in 1948 at Ossining Prison. They came back as electrical ghosts in 1989, brought forth from the spirit realm by negatively-charged mood slime in Judge Wexler's courtroom. At the time, the judge was looking to convict the former Ghostbusters Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler where they were currently being tried in his court. As a result, the Scoleri Brothers manifested from the slime as apparitions strapped into ghostly electric chairs. Wexler immediately recognized them and they responded by crashing into the judge's bench. The Scoleri Brothers then went on a rampage in the courtroom as Wexler, Peter, Ray, Egon, and Louis Tully ran behind the glass partition to the judge's door. Nunzio came to carry off the prosecutor into the courtroom's hall whilst the Ghostbusters and Louis Tully convinced Wexler to dismiss the case and rescind their judicial restraining orders, forbidding them from using their equipment, in exchange for defeating the ghosts. The Scoleri Brothers entered unseen and the chairs in the gallery were knocked aside as they approached the Ghostbusters. After they finally reappeared, the Ghostbusters fired wildly at them and missed. The Scoleri Brothers flew away through the wall behind the judge's bench. Peter yelled. Peter, then Ray, then Egon all laughed. Louis started to calm down but freaked out when the Scoleri Brothers came back. Peter fired at Nunzio in the gallery. He walked past the bar and snagged him. Peter goaded him and declared he was going to take him home to his private zoo. Ray exclaimed, "You got him!" and asked Egon to bring over the Trap.

Egon got the Trap off the exhibit table. Tony Scoleri came through a wall cackling. Egon warned Ray and ducked as he fired. The glass partition shattered and the shards rained down on Judge Wexler's back. Ray soon wrangled Tony Scoleri. Peter backed out of the gallery with Nunzio. Egon instructed Ray to hold Tony and then told Peter to start bringing Nunzio back. Peter continued teasing Nunzio's figure. Ray and Peter returned to the center of the courtroom. Egon told Ray to hold Tony and to keep pulling to the right. Egon placed the Trap on the floor and signaled Ray and Peter. He pushed the Trap across the floor. Ray encouraged Egon to hit the pedal. Egon waited then stomped the pedal. They all turned away. The Scoleri Brothers were pulled into the Trap. Their eyeballs were the last to be seen as the Trap closed. As Louis hoisted the loaded trap, the Ghostbusters announced to the court reporters outside that they were back in business. The Prosecutor was given aid by a paramedic from an unspecified leg injury caused by Nunzio.
