    I'm fairly confident this movie is a plagerization of the book "Slimer" from 1983. Not that it didn't steal from a whole lot of things, as Itallian films are want to do. But boy howdy does it share a lot.
    Two years after this there would be an actual adaptation of Slimer called "Proteus" directed by SFX artist Bob Keen. I'd recommend that one for the show too. It's a little middling and not as batshit as this, but some of the creature effects are damn cool.
