Tarantula (1955)
Chroma-Keyed Knees
29 June 2002
A presumedly brilliant scientist, in trying to make a more fortified feed-grain, develops a certain sclerodermatic condition, eventually becoming an acromegalic mess. Oh yes, and there's an escaped giant, hairy spider that crawls about the desert wreaking havoc in a Southwestern American desert.

1950's Substandard FX technology notwithstanding, this Universal release has some interesting moments (Hit the ground, incoming flying truck!). And what's with those invisible spider joints; you can see right through the monster's knees.

Hey, isn't that the professor from "Gilligan's Island?"
