(44,588 posts)For years I had no idea what it was called. I just remembered it felt sort of like a Star Trek episode, and these people on this spaceship were being attacked by this one eyed black octopus looking creatures with tentacles who made these terrible shrieking sounds. They'd come from out behind the walls and chase the people around.
At the time I saw it, it absolutely terrified me. It caused several nightmares.
But I never bothered to get its name, and I thought it was lost on me forever.
A few years ago I posted the question to DU and asked if anyone could identify it. I tried to describe it as best as I could.
Lo and behold, someone seemed to have nailed it. I'm 99% sure this was it:

The Green Slime. At the time, Youtube had the full movie posted, so I checked it out and it matched up pretty well what I remembered.
In retrospect it was laughably bad and campy. But back when I was 6 years old or so, it scared me nearly shitless.
