The above is from the 1968 The Green Slime, which I'm getting soon from the Warner Archive and which DVD Beaver reviews here.
From the director of BATTLE ROYALE and part of TORA TORA TORA! That’s always seemed strange to me.
This movie used to come on Channel 5 in the afternoons on a fairly regular basis. I remember watching it after school with my brother. Not even slightly scary, even to elementary school kids, but kinda awesome.

GREEN SLIME has one of the all-time awesome one-sheets:
