Arachnophobia (1990)

On tonight's episode, we continue our Halloween 2020 coverage and our 90s/00s horror series with a family friendly horror movie that absolutely draws you into its web:  Arachnophobia!!  Frank Marshall clearly learned from working with the best, as Arachnophobia is packed with characters that feel genuine, humor, and just enough subtle scares to give you the creeps the more that you think about them!  Arachnophobia has all of the heart of a Spielberg film and arguably does the same thing for spiders that Jaws did for sharks!  So grab your finest bottle of wine from the cellar (or a rare '74 Miller Lite with a misprint on the label), pop some popcorn with some extra butter, and cuddle up with your favorite arachnid as we sink our fangs into Arachnophobia!!
