Smiffys Ghostbusters Slimer Costume Top & Character Hood, Officially Licensed Ghostbusters Classic 1984 Fancy Dress, Child Slimer Dress Up Costumes

Product Information

Rather than take the obvious character options for costumes, I wanted to challenge myself and try to make a SLIMER costume. I wanted it to be made out of a soft light weight material so it wouldn’t be too awkward or heavy to wear at the party we were going to.

Though, our life-size replica of Onionhead may be the piece that your Ghostbusters Halloween party theme needs to ensure it’s as funny, spooky, and authentic as possible! I took the spray foam and added it (in layers) to build out his cheeks and also around his rolls created by the pipe insulators. I then used the foam pipe insulators to give the foam some structure and also to give that “fat/rolls” look that SLIMER has. I also took a pair of old rubber gloves and painted them in the same green colors, and SLIMER was complete! From costumes to décor and even practical accessories, our selection of Slimer costumes can’t be ignored!I also knew I wanted it to have a wet slimy look (you know, sort of gross like SLIMER was in the movie). And with everything from our exclusive pullover styles to adorable baby Slimer costumes for the youngest trick-or-treater in the family, anyone can become the legendary phantom! Each project begins with a passion for true quality–embroidered patches, faux fur cut with care, and hand-selected fabrics that are as durable as they are comfortable.

Slimer Costumes

After the spray foam dried completely (I waited about 24 hrs, so all layers were completely dry) I carved it to look more like SLIMER’S face, adding eye sockets, cheeks, a nose, and blended it into the mouth of the costume. After waiting another 24 hours to make sure the silicone was good and dry, I painted him with some high gloss olive green spray paint, I used a few different colors to get some depth and shading, then added a final light layer of fluorescent color to make him nice and bright green. Now, while our selection of Slimer costumes can’t grant you all of the green ghost’s abilities, it can get you feeling like the mischief-maker in time for Halloween! After his several coats of paint were dry I added some foam gums and teeth that were cut out of the left over bed foam, I spayed the gums with red spray paint…. From a Slimer Halloween costume fit for your equally squirmy newborn to an inflatable Slimer costume that’ll have you feeling just like the little spud, our Slimer costume selection has something for everyone!For the arms i took an old long sleeve t-shirt that I had and covered the sleeves with silicone and painted them in the same green colors that the rest of the costume was painted.

Your young Ghostbuster’s costume is ready for all the Halloween night fun with a deep-pocketed candy bag shaped like the hungry spirit. But if your decorative bowl quota has already been met, lean into the silliness of the Ghostbusters’ first catch with our other Slimer decorations!Our Made By Us Ghostbusters jumpsuits and dresses make excellent standalone ensembles, but paired with a Slimer costume your look takes on a whole new interactive level! So I started making SLIMER come to life by cutting up the foam bedding into some small triangles and hot gluing them back together to form a dome shape for his head, from there I drew a rough sketch of his face on the foam so I could figure out how to build out the rest of his face and cheeks. With Slimer wagging his tongue above the sweet or salty snacks, you may even get to keep each morsel for yourself! Venkman Ghostbuster costume (complete with light up proton pack) that accompanied SLIMER to the party, but that’s another story…. No matter how much time it takes, our goal has always remained the same–to create products that inspire your life's best moments–the big, the small, the funny, the spooky, and the sweet.

Keep Slimer true to form with Slimer candy bowls that are perfect for holding all your favorite treats. When we decided that we were going to do something somewhat ordinary like a Ghostbusters theme for our Halloween costumes this year, I knew I had to do something over the top to make it stand out.

Meanwhile, your Ghostbusters ensemble looks polished with a leatherette mini backpack or costume purse that is perfect for carrying the essentials and maybe a few snacks. I painted some red ping pong balls yellow then when dry, I scratched off the yellow paint so red veins showed through and added a black pupil with a permanent marker and put them in the eye sockets on the costume. Sorry, walking through walls and enjoying a bottomless pit of a stomach is still out of our control.
