32A 'Headless snakes' and 'Slaughter aboard ship', films to avoid (3,6) - O?L ?L?C?S

It has to be OIL SLICKS as LICK inside SS is 'Slaughter aboard ship', but how does OIL relate to 'Headless snakes'; and where does "films to avoid" fit in?

An oil slick lies across the top of the water...and is a " film" to avoid?

Thanks. As soon as I had posted it came to me, although I'm still a bit puzzled about the 'Headless snakes'.

(C)oils?

Thanks, that's probably as good as it gets, although 'Headless snake' would be better!

Agreed!

Worth considering if tenant should be cooking with best food.

Not to be sniffed at

Anagram of if tenant best food

Sorry about the snake mistake. There are a lot of clues to write and I do check them all afterwards. Sometimes one slips through the net.

Have a great Christmas.

Thanks, Zozozo, my cold was obviously worse, a sneeze rather than a sniff.
