Short description
Amalgamated Dairies hires David Rutherford, an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called “the Stuff,” a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it’s made or what’s in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It's got a delicious flavor to die for!
What's left behind the scenes
- The filmmakers originally intended the film to be a satirical science fiction comedy. Therefore, they were unhappy that the advertising campaign promoted the picture as horror, thus, in their opinion, misleading people about the nature of the work.
- According to director and screenwriter Larry Cohen, in some scenes where the characters are chased by the “delicious slime,” they filmed foam containing ground fish bones. The stench was so bad that, immediately after filming, the actors rushed to the river to bathe and try to wash off the disgusting smell.
- The scene in the motel room, where the “delicious slime” crawls out of the mattress and pillows and attacks people, was filmed in a special room that could be turned upside down. It was the same room used in Wes Craven's horror film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (1984) when the character played by Johnny Depp is sucked into the bed, and then a fountain of blood begins to erupt from it.
