Monster Makers Creature Slime
38,72 € Tax incl.
Monster Makers Creature Slime is a viscous, fibrous and highly sticky slime designed for special effects in film, television and theatre. It forms long, elastic strands when stretched, realistically mimicking creature body fluids, organic slime and amniotic fluids. It comes ready to use and cleans up easily with water.

What it's used for
Creature Slime is designed for any situation where you need a viscous, organic substance with its own movement. Its fibrous behaviour makes it especially convincing on camera, both in close-ups and in motion.
- Body fluids for creatures and monsters in film and television special effects
- Sticky slime for fantasy, horror or sci-fi characters
- Simulation of amniotic fluid and birth fluids in dramatic scenes
- Coating creature prosthetics to give pieces an organic, living quality
- Mucus, saliva or internal fluid effects in short films, music videos and theatre
- Interactive props where the actor needs to handle the material on camera
- Entertainment and play at horror events, Halloween and themed attractions
How to use it
- Open the container and check the consistency. If it is too thick for your application, add distilled water gradually and mix with a spatula until you reach the desired viscosity.
- If you want to blend colours (for example, translucent with blood red for a blood-streaked slime effect), combine them directly in a container and stir until fully integrated.
- Apply the slime with a spatula, wide brush, applicator syringe or directly with a gloved hand depending on the effect you want.
- To create strands and filaments on camera, slowly pull the material between two surfaces or with your fingers. At lower ambient temperatures, the strands are longer and more stable.
- If working on a silicone prosthetic, apply the slime just before shooting to prevent it from sliding or dripping excessively. You can combine it with Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh to enrich the organic effect.
- To clean up, remove the excess with absorbent paper and wash with plenty of warm water. The material is completely water-soluble and will not permanently stain porous surfaces if dealt with quickly.
Tips and tricks
Control consistency according to the scene
The slime as it comes from the factory is extra heavy, ideal for close-ups where the texture needs to be clearly visible. If the scene requires the material to flow faster or drip more naturally, add distilled water in 10% increments until you achieve the behaviour you want. Avoid adding too much water at once: it is harder to restore viscosity than to reduce it.
Temperature and behaviour on set
Cold slows the flow and lengthens the strands; heat makes it more fluid and less fibrous. If you are shooting outdoors in summer or under very powerful lights, refrigerate the container between takes. This gives you more control over the material's movement and reduces the amount you need to apply per shot.
Combining with other blood effects
For scenes where a creature bleeds or oozes darker fluids, mix the black or translucent slime with Fleet Street Drying Blood Dark to obtain a dense, dark fluid with a very organic appearance. If you need a thicker texture that adheres to vertical surfaces without running, combine it with Pasta Fleet Street Blood.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used directly on skin?
Monster Makers Creature Slime is formulated for special effects and is commonly used in productions where actors come into direct contact with the material. However, if an actor has sensitive skin or allergies, always carry out a patch test on the forearm 24 hours before shooting. Cleanup afterwards is straightforward: water and mild soap.
How long does the effect last before it dries out or loses its properties?
Under normal studio conditions (room temperature and moderate humidity), the slime maintains its sticky, fibrous texture for several hours. With intense heat sources or air currents, it may begin to concentrate at the edges. For long shooting days, apply in small amounts between takes and replenish as needed. The closed container has an extended shelf life as long as it is stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Can it be diluted with water for a more liquid effect?
Yes, this is one of its main advantages. Add distilled water in small amounts and mix until you reach the viscosity you need. Material diluted by 20–30% is ideal for dripping from surfaces or for applying with a large-nozzle airbrush. When diluted, the colours become more transparent, which can be a desirable effect depending on the scene.
Can the different colours be mixed together?
Yes, all colours are compatible with each other. You can combine translucent with blood red for a lightly bloodied slime, or black with green for a more putrid fluid. The mixture is homogeneous and does not alter the texture or properties of the material.
Does it permanently stain clothing or props?
Being water-soluble, it does not stain permanently if dealt with quickly. Remove the excess before it dries and wash the garment or surface with cold water. On light-coloured or very porous fabrics, act as soon as possible. Blood red slime may leave more of a trace than the translucent version, so take care if costumes need to be reused.
Does it adhere well to foam latex or silicone prosthetics?
It adheres to both materials without any special preparation, although its own viscosity and weight mean it tends to run on vertical surfaces if the layer is very thick. For applications in areas that need to hold through several takes, apply in thin layers or combine with Pasta Fleet Street Blood, which has greater body and stays in position.
Is there a viscosity difference between the different colours?
The base formulation is the same for all colours. There may be minor batch-to-batch variations, but in practical terms they all behave the same way. If you need a specific consistency, adjust it with water regardless of the colour chosen.
How much product do I need to cover a medium-sized creature prosthetic?
It depends on the thickness of the layer and the number of takes. For a full face prosthetic with repeated applications over a full shooting day, a 450 g container is usually sufficient. If the slime is also applied to the body or used on large prop pieces, allow for at least two containers to work with a comfortable margin.
