The Slide
from archive.org
A earthquake opens up a huge fissure in the new town of Redlow in Kent. Then a mysterious mud begins to ooze out, and animals and birds begin to mysteriously die. On the instructions of the dominating Minister of Parliament Hugh Deverill, seismologist Josef Gomez is called in to examine the continuing earth tremors. But the effects of the oozing mud are having a strange effect on people, and Professor Gomez and his team's findings begin to reveal a terrifying fact ... that there is a lethal intelligence in the mud itself and if not stopped the human race may be in danger of extermination!
