Curses!

When the local museum hosts the exhibit for the mummy of Egyptian king, Tuturtikum, Malcolm and Dandy want to be the first in line. But they soon learn there is more to the mummy than just a wad of rotting rags. They've both become victims of the Tuturtikum curse! It seems the only way to zap the curse is to zap the ghost of Tuturtikum. But can the curse be lifted or will they be jinxed for life? Ten-year-old Malcolm would rather avoid his older sister, experiment in his lab, and read his science magazines than play sports. In one of his magazines, he comes across an advertisement for an Ecto-Handheld-Automatic-Heat-Sensitive-Laser-Enhanced Specter Detector. With that gadget, Malcolm and his best friend Dandy meet ghosts all around their neighborhood. Thus begins the boys' new careers as Ghost Detectors!
