Finn Wolfhard talked about the taste of ghost slime
What does ghost slime taste like? According to Wolfhard, who experienced it firsthand, the infamous ectoplasm was surprisingly tolerable. He revealed that the slimming scene was brought to life through practical effects, with a squib mechanism shooting out a gelatinous mix from his chest. Contrary to expectations, Wolfhard found the experience rather enjoyable, noting that the ectoplasm "really wasn’t that bad" to ingest.
“They had this squib that like goes off when the slime comes out of me. [I had] this little rig on the middle of my chest, and it would basically [shoot out] this sort of... I guess it would be like a gelatin mix? I don't really know what it was, but it would shoot out of my shirt, and it was so awesome,” he stated, reflecting on the behind-the-scenes of his encounter with Slimer in the film.
Wolfhard went ahead and shared that the taste of the slime was way better off than the unpleasant taste of fake blood. “I was talking to Mckenna [Grace, who plays Trevor’s sister Phoebe] earlier and I was saying that it really didn't taste like anything. It was almost like minty, thick water. Which sounds gross, but it's so much better than having, like, fake blood in your mouth! Way less sugary and gross,” he added.
As Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire continues to perform well at the box office, Finn Wolfhard's insights into the film's production offer fans a glimpse into the world of ghostbusting. With its blend of humor, nostalgia, and supernatural thrills, the film promises to delight audiences of all ages.
