right this is going to be very difficult,as i barely can remember anything about it.
i remember watching it on tv back in the mid/late 80's whilst in the children's ward (due to asthma) at night.
it was along the lines of the thing/bodysnatchers type of film.
the one overriding thing i can remember about it was this guy who was covered in this slimy stuff (and i think he had been changed/taken over by something also/it's not ghostbusters either).
one of the nurses,when she realizes we were all watching a horror on the tv,turned it off 🙁
i really wish i could remember more than that about the film,but alas i cannot 🙁
it will be a miracle tbh if anyone does point me to it 😆

unfortunately it's none of the above (have seen them all).i reckon it's one of those obscure american 80's sci fi/horror films (that you never see on the tv anymore).

There's one I remember from the '60's, that nags at me, because I've never been able to find out what it was called. It was Australian, and the one scene I remember clearly involved a cave with a skull in it, but the skull, when the camera did a sudden close-up on it wasn't human, it had a very elongated cranium. That's all I can remember of it, but it left quite an impression.

If you saw/heard the title would you know if it was one you're thinking of?

If so, maybe this will help??

Maybe it was an episode of The Twilight Zone ? Some of that was dead scary, and in the sci fi/horror genre.

Could be the stuff - obscure 80's american film. Sentient yoghurt takes over the world.
