Directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Annie Potts, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis, Peter MacNicol, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver
Slimer had no name in the first Ghostbusters movie, but the producers nicknamed him "onionhead" because of his awful smell. He was named Slimer in the cartoon series "The Real Ghostbusters." The name came from the scene in Ghostbusters where Ray shows Winston the containment unit and says, "This is where we store all the vapors and entities and slimers we trap." Since Venkman was slimed in the hotel, they decided to name the ghost that did it Slimer.
