Dr. Crowley[2] was a scientist living in New York City who was fooled into summoning Boogaloo on Halloween.

History

Dr. Crowley is the Chairman of Citizens United Against Halloween (And Lot's of Other Stuff We Don't Like). He was also against all comics, most television, toys, legends and many books like those on legends.[3][4][5] On one Halloween day, he approached the Ghostbusters to ask for their help in getting rid of Halloween once and for all.[6] Crowley needed a P.K.E. Meter to focus his Electronic Positronic Anti-Halloween Machine.[7][8] However, Crowley's assistant, Fairweather stole one without being noticed. Fairweather turned out to be a servant of Boogaloo and merely needed a mortal to help breach the Halloween Deal. Despite everything, once Boogaloo and his horde were driven back to the Netherworld, Dr. Crowley declared he was right all along and vowed to try again.
