Robin Navlyt as Slimer in Ghostbusters II

This rare behind the scenes footage shows Robin Shelby (aka Robin Navlyt) getting prepped to play "Slimer" in "Ghostbusters 2." We see director Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray, and creature & makeup designer Tim Lawrence discussing ways to approach the action for 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 that unfortunately never made it to the final cut of the film. Appearing as Robin's manicurist is Mark Siegel. Mark is an actor in his own right and he also sculpted Slimer for GB II.
