... he had had an unprecedented dream of great Cyclopean cities of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths, all dripping with green ooze and sinister with latent horror. Hieroglyphics had covered the walls and pillars, and from some undetermined point below had come a voice that was not a voice; a chaotic sensation which only fancy could transmute into sound, but which he attempted to render by the almost unpronounceable jumble of letters, “Cthulhu fhtagn”.

Psychomagnotheric Slime (also known as Mood Slime and Psycho-Reactive Slime) is a powerful psycho-reactive substance in Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: The Video Game that responds to human emotional states, both positive and negative, from which its reactions depends. It's main characteristic is an ability to open portals for ghosts to enter our realm, and it can also animate objects.

Purple, magenta and green are the acid colours.

Slothrop's Color Complements: Purple and Green

Already complex, Slothrop's color code becomes ever more complicated when the two base colors, purple and yellow, begin shifting along their respective scales. In "Un Perm' au Casino Hermann Goering," Slothrop's natural side, previously represented by yellow, shifts toward green, color of deepest light penetration on the pigment scale. Thus a new pairing is formed between green and purple (or magenta), purple still representing Slothrop's synthetic self. Purple and green are each other's complements, so when they are combined, they transform into white light. After he "produces" a gaudy orange, green and yellow handkerchief and gives it to Tantivy, Slothrop is associated exclusively with green and purple, transforming to white. These colors also dominate the costume changes Katje uses to seduce Slothrop. The first day he meets her, Katje's blonde lashes are "full of acid green (p. 187); later she wears an "emerald tiara" and a "gown of sea-green velvet" (p. 190). That night before they have sex, she changes to a dress of pure white. In the morning, Slothrop dons a purple satin bedsheet in desperate pursuit of his clothes. While masquerading as the "Great Purple Kite," Slothrop gets stuck in a tree and is surrounded by green "pungent leaflight" (p. 199). Dressed for the party chez Raoul de la Perlimpinpin, Slothrop sports a French green suit with a "subtle" purple check" (p. 224). By the time he leaves France for "neutral" Switzerland in preparation for the Zone, Slothrop's outfit has undergone a significant bleaching:

"... among all the somber street faces and colors only he is wearing white, shoes zoot 'n' hat, white as the cemetery mountains here... "(p. 259)

Slothrop's identification with purple and green may indicate that he is being transformed into a projected image, because these colors habitually occur in relation to hallucinated or filmed images. If so, the collapse of the magenta/green complements into white light can be understood as the white light shining through a chemically impregnated celluloid strip that creates the illusion of color in film. In a film image, the perception of color is twice mediated: first because color inheres not in the object itself, because its color too is mediated through the psychophysical processes that comprise color perception). In addition to suggesting his increasing fragmentation, then, the purple/green pairing indicates that Slothrop, like a cinematic image, is receding from us through increasing layers of mediation. The suggestion prepares for the moment when Slothrop will cease to exist as anything other than the wave phenomenon that is white light itself, purveyor of all colors but possessed of none.

There's a black goo conspiracy theory

Anyone who is a fan of The X-Files will be aware of a recurring theme about black oil. This is an alien substance and is central to the overall story that is interwoven into the series. Very plausible – for a sci-fi TV show, right?

However, there are conspiracies in reality that suggest a very similar material exists.

The Black Goo is said to be an alien life form of some kind, and was the reason the Falklands War raged as it did in 1982. The sinking of the Belgrano – already an affair covered in suspicion – and the apparently imminent threat to British citizens of the island was part of the deeper cover-up, and draw attention from the real reason the British military suddenly descended as it did upon the Falklands Isles.

​As far as conspiracies go, this is as outlandish a theory as you are ever likely to hear. Although that doesn’t mean that it might not be true, or at least elements of it.

And black goo also plays a big part in Promtheus, the best film of the Alien series.
