GHOSTBUSTERS 2 Slimer Puppet Test Footage

MSDGHTW EC011

Here we have a pretty cool, rare behind-the-scenes look at Robin Shelby rehearsing her actions as Slimer for Ghostbusters 2. Tim Lawrence is directing ways to approach the action for the character. Being a huge fan of Ghostbusters, I thought it would be cool to share this with all of you. It must have been pretty cool being on the set and working on these things for the film.

Here is a little more info on the footage you are about to see:

This rehearsal helped choreograph the mechanical puppeteers as well as Robin’s movements as Slimer.

This home video is from William Forsche’s (aka Foertsch) personal video collection. This is not your average studio made movie press release. This comes from a time before DVD’s, high def TV, and reality based television shows. This is a rare look of what it was like to be behind the scenes in the summer of 1989 for “Ghostbusters 2.” The camera work is somewhat crude and so is the language at times but it is all very real.

Robin did a lot of hard work as Slimer but most of it unfortunately never made it to the final cut of the film.

Hope you enjoy the video below!

    Love this vid! Reminds me of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. :) Back when movie making was a work of art. I really wish they’d put more time and creativity into films nowadays.
