Now let’s celebrate some of my favorite ghosts from the original. So far we don’t have anything from the reboot to compare them to but they are still very memorable.
RIVER OF SLIME
Gotta start out with the ‘river of slime’ beneath NYC.
Like the ‘Incredible Hulk’ you don’t want to make this glowing hot pink slime angry.
VIGO CARPATHIAN
Vigo the Carpathian (originally known as Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf) is an ancient 16th Century medieval tyrant and sorcerer, who later died in the 17th century. He’s the main antagonist in Ghostbusters II and is portrayed onscreen by Wilhelm von Homburg, and voiced by Max Von Sydow. He is found again in Ghostbusters: The Video Game, voiced again by Von Sydow.
True to his word, he returned in modern day New York in 1989 and took up residence in his self-portrait that was created long before the events of his death. Vigo used the river of Psychomagnotheric Slime (also known as Mood Slime), generated by a Sloar, which flowed through abandoned subway tunnels to a location underneath the city’s Manhattan Museum of Art, where Vigo resided. The Mood Slime boosted Vigo’s powers, and enabled him to channel people’s negative emotions needed for the manifestation of an army of angry spirits that soon started terrorizing New York City.
