(ii) In the 1920s this cult, led by Ivo Shandor, built a paranormal antenna in NYC, disguised/also functioning as a skyscraper.
(iii) The plan is to summon Gozer's two lieutenants, Zuul and Vinz Clortho, and energise the antenna - then Gozer can return from another dimension to walk the Earth again.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think the ghost was named "Slimer" in either of the movies. The fans just called him that, and it became his unofficial name.

"Onionhead ghost" was his pre-production name.
