Batman co-creator William (Bill) Finger co-wrote several of the films...including <b>Green Slime</b>!<br />3.) The same space station design was used for both Gamma 3 in <b>Green Slime</b> and Gamma 1 (and sister stations) in the other films.<br />The spaceships were similar designs as well.<br /><br />I think Renier and Moretti wanted to continue the series, found Japanese backers who financed <b>Green Slime</b>, but because they didn't do a cost-effective multi-picture deal (as they did in Italy) involving re-use of sets, costumes, and props, couldn't convince the new producers to do another flick after <b>Slime</b>!Britt Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245579677452948620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-87852876430929668462012-07-15T07:52:31.468-04:002012-07-15T07:52:31.468-04:00Hearing the name "Green Slime" gets me e...Hearing the name "Green Slime" gets me excited because it was used in the original pilot of MST3K which was never aired.Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-74476592342129291212012-07-15T06:51:24.250-04:002012-07-15T06:51:24.250-04:00I first heard of The Green Slime on Granada TV'...I first heard of The Green Slime on Granada TV's excellent "Cinema" tv show, as a wee lad one Sunday bath-time in the early 70s. As I recall, there was a clip in a montage featuring The Dunwich Horror, Dracula Prince of Darkness and Barbarella.

I DVR'd all of them, and so stumbled across the Gamma-1 stuff. I didn't know Green Slime was linked to them at all.<br /><br />Dumb luck!<br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-40862364110737128662012-07-15T02:43:22.035-04:002012-07-15T02:43:22.035-04:00TCM finally ran Snow Devils a couple of weeks ago,...TCM <i>finally</i> ran <b>Snow Devils</b> a couple of weeks ago, completing their airing of the Gamma 1 series.<br />All four (plus <b>Green Slime</b>) are available thru the Warner Archives.Britt Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245579677452948620noreply@blogger.com
