Vigo the Carpathian

Vigo the Carpathian was a 16th century Moldavian magician and tyrant who was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered by his subjects in 1610 at the age of 105. He was known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Tortuer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy. Before his head died he uttered the words "Death is but a door, time is but a window, I'll be back." In 1989 Vigo's spirit, that he had inserted into his self-portrait, made his bid to take over the world. His portrait had made it to the Manhattan Museum of Art and he possessed the museum's curator, Janosz Poha, to help him find a child so he could come back to life. Meanwhile Vigo had been building up a psycho magnatheric slime flow in the city's old Pneumatic transit system. This slime fed on negative emotions but could be positively stimulated as well. With this river of slime Vigo was able to send ghosts all over Manhattan to distract the city while he possessed baby Oscar. Vigo's plan was put into motion on the eve of the New Year 1990, Vigo used his possessed servant, Janosz to kidnap Oscar, Dana followed and once she entered the museum the river of slime engulfed the museum keeping everyone else out. The slime's evil energy was so powerful that the Ghostbusters' particle streams couldn't penetrate it. The Ghostbusters used the Statue of Liberty to rally the citizens of New York and to help them break through the slime wall into the museum. This caused Vigo's possession of Oscar to be temporarily broken while the Ghostbusters entered. Vigo then appeared outside of the painting, obviously he was able to manifest himself temporarily but he still needed a human body. The Ghostbusters fired their throwers at him and he threw them back sticking them to the ground. He then grabbed Oscar and attempted to possess him again but singing from outside came in and the positive energy weakened Vigo. He retreated to the painting where the Ghostbusters defeated him, despite his short possession of Ray. Vigo was played by Wilhelm von Homburg
