As taco said..."Kingdom of the Spiders"

With William "There's.....some.........thing.....on the wing!" Shatner


so many B. smithis.......to have been a collector in the '70s when they must not have cost so much...

LOTR: Return of the King. Don't think if it would be classified as a T but certainly was a BIG spider! And I'm pretty sure the movie Moonwalker had T's in it. I haven't seen it in about 15 years, but i believe T's was the bad guys symbol or mascot or something along those lines.

In Day Of The Dead in the opening scene where the people land in the helicopter and start screaming into a megaphone into that city in Florida to see if there were any survivors, there is a dead body with a tarantula walking on its shoulder. Then a zombie walks into the picture.

There's a tarantula in that film with Tim Robbins, I think it was called Nothing to Lose. Also there's a tarantula scene in Cannibal Holocaust.

Has anyone seen an old 50's B-movie called Tarantula. I've not seen it, but I'd like too. As far as I know its about a giant tarantula which goes rampaging through the streets, usual 50's cheesy effects. i've only seen clips of it though.

Oh, and there's another film I've seen, it might have been The Beyond. It was some Italian horror, where there were tarantulas in a library and they come and eat someone that has just been attacked. I think I'm remembering that rightly. Has anyone else seen this or am i getting mixed up?

How about Wild Wild West with Will Smith. Not just tarantulas, but an 80 foot tall mechanical tarantula to boot.

That other "guy" is actor Alfred Molina in one of very early roles. If you don't know him by name, you should know him as Doc Oc in Spider Man 2.

Also, i think Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy has a T. I haven't seen it but i remember there being one in the Trailers.

Tarantula wranglers unite!

Sleepy Hollow had a curly hair scene in it, but Arachnophobia's scene where Jeff Daniels had a female blondi crawling up his leg is my favorite.
8 legged freaks was ridiculous, with the pinktoe being portrayed as a monster. I do remember I was the only one laughing when this deadly pinktoe bit the poor soul on his back.

I have the 1955 classic Tarantula on tape.Its one of my alltime favorites.Actually it is pretty well made,not like some of the campy 50s sci-fi movies.I wish theyd make it on dvd however.If you pay attention youll see Clint Eastwwod in his first film as the jet pilot who actually kills the big T.BOOOOOOO.

yeah...but Tarantula does'nt even come close to Them!

Them! is the ultimate giant-bug monster sci-fi movie

 

[DracosBana]

What about Starship Troopers? They aliens are arachnids, sort of.
