Arachnophobia (1990)

from Slashers · host Slashers Podcast

You've seen Steven Spielberg's Jaws, right? That movie we covered a few weeks ago? Yeah, well have you ever wanted to see the same movie with the guy from Dumb and Dumber and eight legs? Boom-- Arachnophobia! All kidding aside, this is a very fun film, written by Don Jakoby and directed by co-founder of Amblin Entertainment, Frank Marshall. The film stars Jeff Daniels, with possibly the best character captured on celluloid: Delbert McClintock, as played by the magnificent John Goodman. The movie involves a small town, gripped in terror as the corpse of a cameraman brings back a deadly spider, that slings its little pecker around impregnating the local spiders to make cute, but deadly, baby spiders. This week's "Hidden Track" is Cry Havoc with their song Venomous Riptide off their track on No Good Deed Left Unpunished, on Die Hipster Records.
