If you're a Svengoolie fan, then it's safe to say that you're already familiar with John Agar. He made a name for himself acting alongside John Wayne in movies like Sands of Iwo Jima, Fort Apache, and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Later in his career, he made a pivot to horror and sci-fi, often in the numerous B-movies popping up in the 1950s and '60s.

6 out of 10... some were so obvious I second-guessed myself .....i watched too many of these as an 80s kid l;ol
10/10. That's embarrassing, considering how much I dislike John Agar. By far my least fave of all those blandly handsome square-jawed leading men in '50s/'60s scifi.
8 out of 10 and I've never seen any of them [heard of some, but never seen any]. So I suppose the answer to the title question is...well, yeah, I guess so...maybe...kinda...
I remember seeing a trailer for movie about a giant spider when I was very, very young. The movie was Tarantula and I was one year old when it came out.
