The Green Slime was released in Italy the year after its American debut in 1968. A Science fiction adventure about astronauts who inadvertently pick up green slime while protecting Earth from an approaching asteroid. The Slime morphs into a giant, one-eyed octopus-looking monster that kills its victims with dangerously high volts of electricity. Havoc ensues - victory is won. This is the Italian version. Beauty and the Beast p. 27, Hershenson 60 p.43 (var) and cover (var), Manifesti del Cinema p. 16 and p. 94.
