Part 2: Formless Horrors

If you haven't seen "The Green Slime," don't let me stop you on the way the dvd emporium.  It is worth seeing with friends because you will all have a good time at the expense of this film.  This is the type of good bad film that gets so rarely made.  A rare perfect storm of bad special effects, an international cast and crew, a wobbly over dramatic ala "Airplane" script, and general sixties futurism.  It is truly an accidental work of art.

But what of the titular slime?  Well they start out formless that's true.  Originally from an asteroid slated for destruction they look something like mossy snot.  Unfortunately, if pump mossy snot up with energy it grows up big and strong.  In this case it grows up to be a lumpy one eyed thing with two tentacles that shoot out sparks.  Worse, if you kill it the slime will just split into two and come at you again.

So it gets a demerit point for bad realization, and another for only being partially formless.  So why does it deserve to be here?  Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Green Slime song!
