The Ghostbusters were told by Gozer to choose the form of their destructor, and Ray Stantz "chose" him as the form. All the other guys claimed they had emptied their minds, but Ray said he tried to think of something that could never harm them. As a child, Ray used to roast Stay Puft Marshmallows on the fire at Camp Waconda. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was simply the mascot for the Stay Puft brand. His accidental choice resulted in Gozer being manifested in the form of a 100-foot tall homicidal marshmallow man bent on destroying the Ghostbusters, New York, and the world. Stay Puft's walking and climbing scenes and the destruction of the Temple of Gozer with some of the apartment was filmed at Boss with just three and a half weeks before the theatrical release. [36] Once the wire frame was complete, I Googled a paper mache recipe since I could not remember how to make it from those middle school years! Once I had recipe made up (hint add some cinnamon to the mixture, it makes the paper mache smell good!!), I started ripping pieces of news paper into long pieces and started laying them over the frame. I think I put two to three layers onto the frame. Stay Puft Marshmallow Man appears on Cover RI-B and the Fan Expo Dallas Cover of Transformers/Ghostbusters Issue #1.

The sound for Stay Puft's march to Central Park West was created from Richard Beggs wetting his thumbs and pushing them against a chair tautly covered in leather in his studio then he used a pitch shifter to change the speed into a range he thought was right for the weight and mass of him.

Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 184 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Michael Gross says: "Originally, we were going to have the Stay-Puft marshmallow man rise up out of the river, right by the Statue of Liberty, to give him scale. Understandably, the effects people didn't like the idea - any effects shot involving water is really hard to pull off. We finally realized that it didn't make any difference where he came from - he could just appear. The audience assumes that he just materializes." After the Shandor incident, the Ghostbusters encountered Stay Puft again. They managed to disperse enough of his P.K.E. to stunt reformation and spectral mitosis then used multiple Ghost Traps to capture most of Gozer's essence. It was then stored in the Containment Unit.

Diana Allen Williams says: "I'm driving down Crescent Heights towards Sunset, and I see a Ghostbusters billboard. And the date that it's gonna open is in like 3 and a half weeks or so. It's like three weeks. I don't know. It was really soon. And we still hadn't shot the street scene. We still haven't shot Stay Puft on fire. I'm pretty sure we hadn't shot the building blowing up." Harold Ramis spent a lot of time trying to rationalize the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. He concluded mankind's biggest fear of the unknown would be proven to be insubstantial as marshmallow. [48]
