Slime People
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Slime People was a 1963 horror film directed by Robert Hutton. The film concerns a race of subterranean reptile-men (dubbed "slime people" due to their slime-covered skin) who create a wall of "solidified fog" around Los Angeles and proceed to invade the city. A pilot (portrayed by Robert Hutton) lands in Los Angeles after some difficulties in flight, only to find the city almost deserted. Later he encounters other survivors, including a scientist and his two daughters and the group does their best to halt the further invasion of the Slime People. The film was infamous for its extensive use of fog machines, with the fog becoming so thick towards the end that it is virtually impossible to see any of the actors. The film was thoroughly made fun of on the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000.
