I had a tarantula as a pet when I lived in Phoenix

20% similar, oh well 🤭
I went with Arachnophobia. It's a real fear, you don't see them coming, and some of them are big enough to move furniture.
🤣
20% Earth vs. The Spider. One of those so-bad-it's-good '50s horror/sci-fi "classics." The 'spider' was kinda cheesy but still a fun film. 🕷️🕸️👍🏼
Agreed, 20%
I picked Other for the 1972 film, "Frogs" with Ray Milland and Sam Elliott (no 'stash). Mostly, because there is a scene involving a Huge Spider going in (& or Out) of a place they should never be. I saw it in the theatre when I was 13 years old, and being that we lived in Hawai'i since I was 8, I had not seen a Spider that big doing something that repulses me to this day.
I don't understand why that movie was called FROGS when 99% of them were TOADS. The movie should have been called "Toads".
Can't stand spiders, especially those recluse spiders that eat away your flesh. But, as a kid, I was always watching Earth Vs. The Spider. That would be my favorite. As someone has already mentioned, The Spider movie is the same as Earth Vs. The Spider. For some reason the title of the movie was changed to The Spider somewhere over the years.
Tarantula, 1955. As a young boy watching this one, it scarred me with spiders forever.
I remember seeing the trailer for Tarantula on TV when I was a baby. (Yes, I was only a year old or not quite a year old.) I've been terrified of spiders especially those of any size ever since. About 40 years ago, my husband and I were in the reptile house at National Zoo. We were looking at a crocodilian and my husband exclaimed "That's the biggest spider I've even scene!" so leaned up close to the glass to get a better look. It was on the outside of the glass! I set a world record for the backwards broad jump which stands to this day. The spider had the leg span the size of a dinner plate.
That's hilarious! I may have beat your record on that long jump! Great story, Carol!
I remember watching this at a Wednesday matinee at the local theater , i loved it and had a pet tarantula in a huge 100 gallon Terrarium tank ( Old fish tank ) he lived for about 8-9 years and his name was velvet fog 🤗
You are far more brave than Carol and me. There would be no sleeping at night if it was in my house! lol
I liked the Incredible Shrinking Man. But I believe that was the only movie with a spider in it I saw !
Surprised “Giant Spider Invasion” (1975) isn’t on the list.
Picked “Kingdom of the Spiders”, got 20% similar.
Just watched Kingdom of the Spiders not that long ago on Svengoolie. The movie is definitely in the
it's-so-bad-it's-good category. William Shatner seems well aware that this movie is bad, you can see it in his I'm here for the pay cheque acting. But always the pro, Shatner hams it up and gives it a good go.

I totally disagree: that is a good movie, especially compared to the other movies on this list.
I like it enough to watch it every time it airs. Shatner also gets to show off his horsemanship.
Yes, I wish they showed some more of it.
THE SPIDER 1958 & EARTH VS THE SPIDER 1958 are the same movie
100% similar!
“Them!” is about giant ants.
70% similar with "Tarantula"
100% similar.
I have no faves here. In my world, the only good 🕷 is a dead one.
Choosing "Tarantula" got me 70% similar, but I only chose it because I haven't seen many of the other movies on this list. And about "Spider Baby"... wasn't that one of the worst movies Lon Chaney, Jr. ever appeared in? But you gotta admit, the 2 girls were kinda cute.
I liked the snooty older woman more. I think she played Vincent Price’s wife in “The House on Haunted Hill”.
"The Fly" (1958)
When that spider is making it's way over to the caught in the web fly with David Hedison's head,
it was absolutely chilling -
"Help me. Help me".
Not even the Sea View and Admiral Nelson could have helped Captain Crane out of that one.

They didn't mention The Giant Spider Invasion (1975) with Alan Hale Jr. as the Sheriff. Filmed in Wisconsin. I've seen this movie at a second run/cheap theater back then. Sheriff: "Did you ever see the movie Jaws? Well, this spider makes that shark look like a goldfish!"
I vaguely recall seeing this movie many years ago. I have to watch this movie again. I mean, Alan Hale Jr. as the Sheriff? I'm sold right there!
Now THIS is a “good bad movie”.
Another sci-fi/horror movie where Alan Hale Jr. plays the Sheriff is The Crawling Hand (1963)
