The Untold Backstory of the Iconic Slimer From Ghostbusters

Slimer almost had an origin story featured in the brand new Ghostbusters film! Director Paul Feig chatted with WIRED about what both he and co-writer Katie Dippold cooked up for Slimer's pre-death and how the Ghostbusters helped him become the green blob we all know and love!:



It never made it into the new reboot of ‘Ghostbusters,’ but writer Katie Dippold and director/co-writer Paul Feig definitely wrote a backstory for one of the franchise’s most beloved characters: Slimer.

A backstory for Slimer would of been good, but I don't like to think of Slimer as a ghost of a baddie, he's too kind.
