Title:
Ghost Rider
Synopsis:
"Shades of Gray!”
It’s the supernatural vs. super science when Ghost Rider takes on Freakmaster and a gang of cyborg bikers!
Johnny Blaze and Vincenzo return to the Quentin Carnival to warn Ralph Quentin of Freakmaster’s plans to take the carnival over, but Freakmaster is already there. Freakmaster tells Johnny he has no ill intentions for the carnival but admits his intent to replace Blaze out of fear of Ghost Rider, whom Quentin now knows is connected to Johnny. Blaze warily accepts Freakmaster’s offer to stay. The next day Johnny visits Freakmaster’s new freak tent and finds Renaldo transformed into an obese "human pincushion.” That night Blaze finds a hidden lab and designs to transform all of Quentin Carnival into freaks. Freakmaster arrives and unleashes cyborg bikers against Johnny, who brutally dispatches the bikers as Ghost Rider. He lunges for Freakmaster, but Ralph Quentin asks that Ghost Rider instead visit his vengeance on him, since he, as a young carnival owner, was responsible for the deaths of Freakmaster’s parents. Blaze reemerges and tells Freakmaster to leave. Satisfied with his revenge on Quentin, Freakmaster and his freaks leave the next day. Johnny is surprised when Roxanne Simpson arrives.
