Lost and Foundry is an episode of the television series The Real Ghostbusters. It first aired November 3, 1987.
Plot[]
Escaping from the Ghostbusters, a ghost gets merged with a pot of molten steel at a Foundry, and ends up getting turned into a variety of everyday items: steel girders, a refrigerator, a steel pole, nails, food cans, a power cable, even a work of neo-Impressionist art, bringing them to life in order to make itself whole once again.
The Ghostbusters chase down the inanimate objects to a junk yard, where the different metal pieces have come together to form a giant metal monster. The Ghostbusters trap it using a magnet, and then melt the metal back down in order to free the ghost so that they can trap him regularly.
