My father worked on this movie and I grew up hearing stories from the set and watching it on VHS. It’s not surprising that my favorite part was pausing it during the end credits to read my dad’s name.
They filmed it in Sedona Arizona and most of the crew stayed at a place called Garlands Oak Creak lodge. Years after filming, the employees at the lodge would still find tarantulas that had gotten loose during filming.
The Spider Wrangler was Jim Brockett who worked on movies and television shows for over 40 years. Most of the cast were pretty cool with the spiders, especially by the end.
William Shatner even had a Christian Bale like freak out when someone walk though the scene when he falls on the floor with the spiders on him and they had to film it again.
This movie holds a special place in my life and I can’t wait to show it to my kids, laughing the whole time.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing :)
Cool 😎!
I always loved the ending. The spiders win. Not even Captain Kirk could stop them.
Yes,the downbeat ending is very much a 70s innovation:before then the goodies rarely lost🎩
12:50 As Ripley would say "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit....it's the only way to be sure" lol
Legend has it the majority of the film's budget was spent on spiders
10,000 dollars I've heard but this was one of the last films to use real life things on screen for kill scenes because so many people were mad about how many were killed on set * - *
11:30 - That piano riff is heard in "Dumb and Dumber" when Lauren Holly's character told Jeff Daniels that the toilet was broken.
They both won Oscars for that 🏆
@@ocelot815 LOL.
It also plays when Lloyd is in the men's bathroom and he reads the "be here for manly love at 2:00am" graffiti and he realizes it's that time.
It's funny how both riffs happen in bathroom scenes.
I was introduced to these types of creature-features' by Mystery Science Theater 3000. Grizzly bears, alligators, piranhas, and even worms. Mr. and Mrs. Movies have the quick-witted humor just like the MST 3000 hosts, too.
"Night of the lepus." Was my favorite. ☺
I'm holding out for some retro dinosaur movies like The Valley of Gwangi
Love Mystery Science Theater 3000.
@@Raygathex Cowboys and dinosaurs FTW!!
What was that MSTK episode that had the movie where the creatures were defeated by sodium and they did a whole song about it?
LOL the guy in the plane screaming like a woman was GOLD and I have arachnophobia and sat through just to see your guys reactions, didn't disappoint, now I gotta check my entire house to see if there are any spiders LOL
There are seventeen of them, and you'll never find them all. 🕷🕷🕷
@@SilentBob731 :( you had to say it LOL
Now this is not a movie I ever expected anyone to react to, what a pleasant surprise
That piano riff sounds like the one in Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd checks his watch in the urinal and then Sea Bass busts in on him.
Yeah I noticed that too.
It's the same riff.
"Get me a hammer and nails... MOVE WOMAN!!!" Lol
This piano riff can be heard in the Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man” as well as,I imagine,certain other episodes of that series.At least that’s where I know it from.
They also play it in Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd is in the stall and his watch strikes exactly 2:15am and Sea Bass arrives.
Also in the old Alligator 1980 film.
And also episodes such as "The Invaders" and "Back There." Back There is what I know the music from. Jerry Goldsmith did the music for those Twilight Zone episodes.
I know it from CBS Radio Mystery Theater. Episodes on RUclips if anyone is curious.
It reminds me of Manos: The Hands of Fate. It’s not exact, but it’s reminiscent.
4:18 - Shatner actually IS a master roper, rider, etc. I've worked his Hollywood Rodeo Show several times. He's quite good- or, at least, was when I worked the show around circa 2008.
It's one of the reasons they ride horses in Star Trek Generations. He became absolutely enamored with those animals.
Wow!!! I thought I would never see a reaction to one of my favorite 1970s cult classics!
I love how they ignore the obvious solution, a broom and some boots at the beginning.
And yes the answer at the end is B 52's with napalm or one or two small nuclear weapons.
just like that tarantula movie from the 50s
This is the movie that helped me to get over my arachnophobia. I bought the Rifftrax version and was too busy laughing to be afraid.
Loved it so much that I bought the original vintage poster, had it framed and put it up in my office at work.
Genuinely not a bad movie. Certainly not Oscar worthy, but fun for what it is. Plus Shatner is always great to see. 🖖🏻
William Shatner: "I don't think DDT is gonna kill 'em."
Jake The Snake Roberts: "We'll see about that..."
Awesome dude!
"How do they get out of this?"
Answer: A Jason spider comes along and kills thousands of other spiders.
great now I want to see a slasher movie told with spiders instead of people and a spider with a hockey mask on and a machete ;3
Can of RAID fixes bug problems .
@@pete_lind or a spray bottle of bleach water...
😂😂😂😂
@@Milleniumlance great now we just got a ton of albino spiders 😋
That familiar sounding piano riff and violin riff you hear in this movie is actually previously recorded audio library music. It's originally from The Twilight Zone, used in episodes like The Invaders and To Serve Man.
Wow, I thought I recognised that music... "Don't get on the plane... to serve man... it's a COOKBOOK!"
@@MrFox-wn5jt Yep! That's where that music is from.
Where else more modern? I instantly recognized it from something I can't place.
@@shanester1832 I have no idea. I only know it from The Twilight Zone.
@@44excalibur Somebody cracked the case. It's used in the bathroom stall scene in Dumb & Dumber. That's where I knew it from. When Lloyd reads the graffiti realizing he's at the meeting spot for manly love.
ruclips.net/video/ekBi1OqGw8c/видео.html
you guys are the only reaction channel im subbed to cause you actually have personality instead of just watching the movie and just making comments like "omg that was crazy" every few minutes
Try "Popcorn in Bed" and Ashleigh Burton
This is one of the few killer spider movies that I can tolerate watching. It was one of the movies from when I was a kid that I blame my arachnophobia on. The one spider movie that really affected me was Arachnophobia when I first saw it back during the summer of 1996. I spent the rest of the evening checking all over to make sure no spiders were hiding around me ready to attack.
Piano riff at 11:30 is from the bathroom scene in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd just read the wall, "For Manly Love be here 1:15" and then another few cords are played that sound like "Ought oh".
This inspired the movie- Arachnophobia 1990. Which I think is better. They also used, Avondale spiders, instead of Tarantula.
Watched this when I was 5 when it was on TV back then. Never seen it since but that last scene/reveal of the city, I remembered differently. That was really the only scene that stuck in my mind tho.
"You, me & the moooooo-vies"... your one-liners are much better than Freddy Krueger's. Great vid!
Reached the end and I'm still laughing about that car sun visor death. Good stuff!
Piano Rif is from Dumb and Dumber - when Harry is um..indesposed in the shitter when he finds out it wont flush - that dolly zoom into his face is classic and priceless! @You, Me, & The Movies
Night of the Lepus is another good 70's horror film. It has DeForest Kelley in it, that played the role of Dr. McCoy in Star Trek. Both this film and Night of the Lepus were before the huge resurgence of Star Trek, due to the film Star Trek: The Motion Picture being released in 79.
Giant bunnies! Soooo scary!
@@waterbeauty85 Exactly! Ferocious and horrifying.
Yes William Shatner the new Astronaut did have spiders on his face. He did do that stunt.
This movie was definitely from a strange time in William Shatner's career. The nebulous dark age between when the original Star Trek TV show ended in 1969 and the Star Trek movies started in 1979. Coincidentally, this is also the time period when DeForest Kelly made the classic giant bunny rabbit film "Night of the Lepus" and Leonard Nimoy hosted "In Search Of," the TV show that bravely explored such controversial topics as whether or not a swamp bigfoot was eating gators in Louisiana.
Hey, In Search Of was pretty awesome by all accounts. It's horribly dated now, but at the time, that was some quality television.
Night of the Lepus had TWO Enterprise doctors.
The sheriff was played by the doctor from "The Cage".
Werewolves, insane ax wielders, hockey masks, no problem all day. Spiders I'm OUT. Arachniphobia is another good watch along this vein
Yeah Arachnophobia is definately worth the watch. it's one of those hidden gems from the 90s that most people missed out on.
Eight Legged Freaks
@@PromptCriticalJello David Arquette and Scarlet Johansson.
There are two spiders that live in my side view mirrors of my car. They spin webs all over my mirrors every night. Drives me crazy. I dont know if they live inside the mirrors or in the engine, or god forbid inside the car. So yah, happy Halloween I guess. 🕷 🕷
You may be able to convince them to move out with some peppermint oil/water spray.
The name 'tarantula' comes from the town of Taranto in Italy, and was first given to some big European spiders that are actually a type of wolf spider. Then someone saw these big-ass spiders in the Americas and decided to call them tarantulas too, but they're not closely related to the European tarantulas.
This "person" knows too much. I bet they're really just 8000 Tarantulas in a jacket and hat!
The town and the wolf spider also inspired the folk dance known as the tarantella. Supposedly the dance movements mimic the hysterical condition thought to be caused by the spider bite.
Nothing is as uniquely awesome on the cheese scale as 1970's Shatner. I also would suggest another Shat-tastic epic known as The Devil's Rain, featuring Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine and John Travolta in his film debut!
The Horror at 37,000 feet is more great '70s Shat cheese.
@@kingfield99 OMG! I thought you were confusing his Twilight Zone episode Terror at 20,000 Feet. I had no idea this film exists! 😂😂😂
Yes. I would love to see their reaction to that film.
On the plus side: when the Airforce arrives with napalm loaded bombers they will have a really clear target!
Finally! For years I have been requesting other youtube movie review channels to watch this B Classic. None of them did.
Wow, have not seen this before., which makes this the first reaction I have watched without knowing the source material....thanks, Markus.
Markus is a true hero.
Now you all know why Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit were the biggest box office hits of 1977. The 70s up to that point were all about disasters or just death after death and hopeless odds.
you do realize thanks to the Bandit sequel movies it's cannon that the bandit dies and is buried behind frogs house
Oh I remember the Rifftrax of this one, sooo good SOOO GOOOD!
I like that they used the same music from the Twilight Zone episode that Shatner starred in, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
This film is a direct pipeline to my childhood.
I loved this movie when I was a kid. They used to play it on TV. Never thought I'd see a reaction video. Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things is another cult classic worth checking out. It from Bob Clark of Porky's and A Christmas Story fame.
Special Shout Out to every single person who read this script and saw this title and knew the subject matter ... and signed on to work on this movie anyway! I've worked a lot of different jobs for money ... but No Amount exists that would make me work around Living Spiders
They used non-venomous spiders (several spider consultants/handlers worked on the movie) and nobody got hurt working on this movie.
Except lots of spiders :(
I love that you did a reaction video to this. It's pretty much a forgotten gem. This was one of my favorites as a kid and used to show on the Saturday Creature Feature show. There was a whole run of movies around the time this was made about nature rebelling against man. Them, Grizzly, Piranha, Bats, The Deadly Mantis. etc. I always thought this was one of the best because it was more believable than many of them. It is true that most spiders are hard to kill with pesticides. The film used 5,000 live spiders, though a number of rubber model spiders were also used during production. The live tarantulas were gotten by offering Mexican spider wranglers $10 for each live tarantula they could find. This meant that $50,000 of the film's $500,000 budget went towards the purchase of spiders. The large number of tarantulas kept on hand led to some unusual production difficulties. Not only did each spider have to be kept warm, but because of the creatures' cannibalistic tendencies, all 5,000 spiders had to be kept in separate containers. Additionally, tarantulas are usually shy around people, so fans and air tubes often had to be used to get the spiders to move toward their "victims". Indeed, in a number of the scenes where the tarantulas are "attacking" people, it is obvious that the spiders are merely moving around, usually away from their intended victims. Even so the fact that most people have some level of fear of spiders makes this movie extremely creepy at the very least. The end basically is left where they could have a sequel. The town is completely taken over by the spiders and the rest of the world doesn't know about it. It's really amazing how they used real spiders to shoot this movie and have the actors interacting with them. I actually really like this movie and the other one you should watch is Arachnophobia.
Makes me think of the video game "Kill it With Fire!" A game about killing household spiders with escalating weaponry as the game progresses.
As a kid I always thought the movie Devil's Rain was a sequel to this because Shatner was in that too and they were both in a similar location and they would constantly show both of on AMC late at night.
One of the few movies from the 70’s that I still remember seeing with my dad at the theater as a little kid and STILL remember a lot of the scenes. The other movies I remember are Star Wars, King Kong, and Black Sunday.
So, when you say "other spider movies," would Arachnophobia or Eight Legged Freaks happen to be on that list?
Arachnophobia is a must!
Isn't the the entire list? Lol. Oh maybe Tarantula.
@@chuckhouse5179 Lol probably true
Both of those films don't have depressing endings, if that helps getting them on the list.
That cow performance was so good, I wonder if the final shot was actually a Yak, who are known to be far better actors.
Fun fact, William Shatner owns a horse farm near Lexington, Kentucky now.
Movies like this take me back to my childhood days. A cheesy seventies creature feature is hard to beat.
2:59 - FYI, Leonard Nimoy recorded a song about the Hobbit. He also made a video. I'm sure you can find it somewhere on RUclips.
19:43 - And I ran. I ran so far away...from these freaking spiders!
Burns one side of the spider hill and leaves one side completely unburned 😅
This is one of my favorite movies from the 70s. I also like Empire of the Ants(1977) & Frogs (1972).
Seeing a spider in your house isn´t a problem. It´s when you DON`T see it anymore.
Other than the stellar performance from Betsy (the cow), this movie was visually scarring!!!
In the sequel, a flying saucer from an advanced alien race lands, and when the door opens up down comes a 12 FOOT TOOL USING SPIDER.
From imdb: The bulk of the score was film library music, which was largely made up of music cues by Jerry Goldsmith from various episodes of The Twilight Zone (1959).
This is why I'm glad that we don't have poisonous spiders here in Wales.
16:04 😱
Now we know what's scarier than spiders - the mrs with a syringe!
Edit: Thanks Markus! 😁
Before THE MIST having the grimmest ending there was this. The music BTW is from THE TWILIGHT ZONE's 'The Invaders' ep. (the tiny astronauts vs. giantess Agnes Moorhead)
Oh hell yeah! I remembered seeing this back in the day and being freaked out at a young age. Too bad William Shatner couldn't beam aboard the Enterprise to get away. He roped that cow as good as he roped Klingons.
In the mid 70's after Jaws, movies about insects or animals killing people were popular, Bears, Ants, Worms, Rats, Bee's, etc...
After trying hard to remember a more modern movie where that piano riff was from I remembered two guitar notes after. Its from Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd was in the bathroom and he read the note on the wall and Sea Bass was coming.
The piano riff is from the Twilight Zone Episode "To Serve Man"
Have you seen Day of the Animals? Leslie Nielsen gives the performance of a lifetime! It's another 'nature strikes back' movie from the 70s.
Piano riff is from The Twilight Zone. As is the ominous end music that plays during the final shot of the town entombed in spider webs.
35:39 Spider number 143 was my favorite spider. He gave a stinging performance and really webbed me into the movie.
Another one I really recommend is John Frankenheimer's The Prophecy.
11:30 doesn't that sound a lot like the part from Dumb & Dumber when Jim Carrey is looking at the clock? You know before Sea Bass busts up the door.
Ya know that might be it. I'm picturing it in my head and it's dead on. Other people are listing its origin in Twilight Zone but I know it from someplace more modern.
I LOVE this movie!!! It's the exact same plot as JAWS!!! 😂
I bet they thought they could set it on a ranch and throw people off the scent.
Yeah I loved the ending of Jaws were the island of Amity was sunk under water and surrounded by thousands of man-eating sharks -_-
@@ZION73082 Yeah and it wasn't even set on the water. It didn't even star Robert Shaw. And I'm pretty sure those spiders weren't sharks. So what's with the comparison???
Favorite spider has to be the spitting spider. I have 2 of them. They are tiny but really cool. I used to breed Tarantulas, Black widows, and Scorpions which are great but the little oddball spiders are more interesting.
The makers of this film did come under some fire for the scenes that involved a few tarantulas that got hurt or killed in scenes (this is the aspect I dislike more than the most frightening moments of this movie). Also, tarantulas are by nature shy creatures and don't like to be forced to move into unfamiliar directions which was what they had to be made to do in order to complete the scenes.
The music at 18:09-18:20 is from the "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet" episode of the Twilight Zone that Shatner had been in. It's the part where he opens up the window shade and sees the creature pressed up against the window. I can see now it actually plays a few times.
La Oaxaquena restaurant here in San Francisco used to serve fried tarantula tortas and grasshopper tacos, but in 2011, the health department made them stop because the imported bugs weren't FDA approved. Apparently, they found an approved source for the grasshoppers because they're back on the menu but not the tarantulas.
Thanks for this reaction. I've never seen this movie before, though I have heard of it. It's comically silly, and it gives William Shatner another great opportunity to overact. LOL
It's on RUclips.
21:27 '' nobody expects the spanish inquisition ! ''
A powerful film with several social themes is The Intruder (1962), with Shatner under the direction of Roger Corman.
You know the really funny part? The music they played when William Shatner was covered in spiders came from one of the tracks used in dramatic scenes in the Spider-Man cartoon from 1966.
Tarantulas natural and ferocious enemies is the Tarantula Hawk. A large, metallic blue and orange wasp.
That piano riff is used in hundreds 70's and 80's thriller and giallo flicks. I would be expect it to be next to impossible to figure out the first use of it.
Yeah, it's just library music for use in films and TV
I think it would be fun to see you two watching Arachnophobia, if you haven't already.
The Mrs. reaction to the ending was the best.
HA! I see this all the time on Rifftrax, never expected to see anyone reacting to this. Now we just need some Night of the Lepus.
FYI, Shatner has 360 acres in Kentucky, where he raises horses.
Who the f.cares?????
@@anneperry9014 It's random trivia about Shatner, calm the hell down.
My favourite William Shatner horror movie is called 'The Horror at 37,000 Feet'. It's a mixture of The Exorcist and an aeroplane disaster movie.
The furst statement was already meowsome! :) The producers actually said that only a handful of spideys got killed in this moo-vie. A shy meow from Switzerland! :)
This is a great creature feature, but good god the ending no one survives there’s no happy ending
"How would you like some dinner"
"I probably will"
😂🤡😂🤡
Arachnophobia at its finest! I remember first seeing this when it debuted on TV. It gave me the willies then and it still gives me the willies. You gotta check out "Ben" or "Willard" next!
Don't forget what started it all... The Birds.
Why did Shatner save the little girl from spiders on her bed only to throw her on the spider covered floor? That's an awesome move though, they never saw it coming!
I have a feeling Shatner was did this little spider flick to get by thinking that it'll be forgotten quickly. 40+ years later here we are.
A gig is a gig. At least he was working which is where the jealousy from some of the other Star Trek actors came from and still does in regards to George Takei. He still has beef with Shatner to this day going back to their time on the show for some reason.
Night of the Lepus, Orca, Tentacles, Mosquito, Skeeter, Ticks, The Birds, Arachnophobia are a few good creature flicks. This movie is before the Star Trek films.
This has always been one of my favourites, thank you for the reaction.
11:18 "Gidigidigidigidigidigidi!" Yeah, you right! I don't play that! 😬😬😬
The Piano-Riff, You used to know is from the Twillight Zone (the Episode "The Invaders")
Music by Jerry Goldsmith
This movie terrified me growing up. Thank you for reviewing this one. Gotta watch this later but had to comment.
The Shat versus killer spiders ? !... I'm there !
Wow... We have reached MST3K material. Been ages since I watched this. Next up Arachnophobia? 😁
I'm sure that piano riff was in enter the dragon,when he's in the mirrors
I remember watching this movie on RUclips as a kid. Then years later, I buy it on dvd from Goodwill. Great movie. Ending gave me chills and 1 question. What happened to the spiders?
Oh shit! I live in camp verde! My dads house is shatner's dead brothers wifes house, the red one.
