Kymberly Herrin played a ghost In Ghostbusters.
Kymberly Herrin was well-known for her role as a ghost in Ghostbusters. She appears in Dan Aykroyd’s Ray Stantz’s s*x scene, perched on top of Ray’s bed before loosening his belt buckle. Her character has all of the characteristics of a ghost, including the ability to fly and morph into a pink cloud or mist. While her character was initially intended to be Ray’s love interest, her plot was removed to keep the picture moving.
Herrin’s sequences were shot at the Entertainment Effects Group, where optical effects were utilized to merge her into the Fort Deterring set. Kymberly’s tight-fitting gossamer gown required the team to put Vaseline all over her body in order to fit her into a mold particularly constructed for her role. The Dream Ghost, also known as the Fort Detmerring Ghost, was Herrin’s persona. She was the spirit of a lady who had died 150 years before. Her co-star in the film, Canadian actor Dan Aykroyd, revealed more about his role to Polygon last year. He stated:
“The ghost in the fort – the seduction ghost – that’s a regular occurrence in paranormal investigation, spirits doing s**ual things to humans.” My buddy had three ladies visit him at a haunted home in Louisiana, and it was one of the most memorable evenings of his life. But you certainly can’t have everything in under two hours.”
