Rented this on Prime Video! This was WAY HARDER TO WATCH than I anticipated...

Oh yeah, as someone who's afraid of spiders, this is the one reaction I can't watch. It's a good movie, but it's way too good at it's job for me.

With summer in full swing by now, I have to recommend the 1933 classic, King Kong. The original 1933 King Kong is one of the greatest movies, and I think it is one of the most important movies ever made. So much of what we take for granted in modern movies comes from King Kong. Plus, it just has that summer island feel due to the prehistoric world in King Kong. I think it would be a great and fun reaction.

I apologize for making the IRL channel on Discord a horrorscape for you.

“Launch them off the balcony” 😂 omg amazing quote right off the bat. This will definitely be a good one!

Fantastic choice, and RIP to Julian Sands who passed last year, one of his iconic horror characters is in the film Warlock (1989) and it's sequel (1993), highly recommend at least the first for your channel :)

It's cool. You didn't know. Besides I don't really peruse that section as much as others anyways.

also the 'turn your head and cough' thing is checking for groin hernias that are somewhat common in young men

Was that closeup of the big spider's eyes great, or what? Yes, one of the indignities young men are subject to that you ladies are not is an exam checking for inguinal testicular hernias. I only recall them doing that check once, but that was plenty. Yes, most of the effects were practical and no spiders were harmed. In fact, they went to great lengths NOT to harm them. Hidden recesses in shoe bottoms, and so on. One wrangling trick is to use a blow drier to steer them. Goodman is amazing. He's so funny in this, but he's terrifying in "10 Cloverfield Lane".

Amazing Kat, remember watching this flick whence I were a wee human. The beautiful scenes shot at the start of the movie were apparently filmed in Venezuela. BTW, those little, dinky red spiders in your abode, please refrain from putting them outside, they won't appreciate it as it's not their habitat or temperature. If you have a garage or shed, that would be much better for them. PS, lot's can find their way back into houses or back up plug holes anyways....bit like homing pigeons, but, er, spiders...whodathunkit?

Same. Hard pass. I have enough recurring spider nightmares as it is.

I'm sorry. Maybe it makes me a bad person, but I have a standing treaty with not just spiders, but all insects. I don't kill or harass them when they're outside where they belong (not counting something like reflexively slapping a mosquito that just bit me). But once they set foot in MY territory, they get dispatched with extreme prejudice! I wouldn't blame them for doing the same to me out in their territory. My dad claims that when this movie premiered on HBO, they had an accompanying documentary about how the movie was filmed and how they wrangled the spiders and stuff. I've never bothered to look it up, but maybe it exists on YouTube somewhere. I'm feeling tempted to look it up. If I do, I'll come back and put a link here.

I'll second watching "Warlock." I would support the sequel, "Warlock: the Armageddon" as well!

I’ll make it a point to spoiler tag any creepy crawlies from here on out…and retroactively if I can.

I feel conflicted about killing spiders, but also they give me the creeps. I once stood on a chair and trapped one under a glass on our ceiling. I then stood there holding it for about 40 minutes waiting for my husband to get home. I’m not sure what I would have done if he wasn’t due home sooner than that. When he got home he thought I’d lost my mind. We used a sheet of paper to keep it in the glass and let it go. He wanted to kill it but knew I’d be mad. I like to imagine that spider sitting around with his spider children and grandchildren telling them the story.

Fun fact all the little spiders are from New Zealand, where I'm from. They are call Avondale spiders and are completely harmless and very docile. The film took such care not to harm any of them so when that one was sprayed then stood on by John Goodman, first they sprayed a fake spider then he had on special boots that had a hollowed out sole so when he "squashed it" the spider just curled up in the hollow shoe and waited for the next take lol and since spiders can't be trained the entomologist used vibrating wires to guide the spiders because they wouldn't cross the vibrations :)

Eddie Perkins

You got my vote. I also liked the 2005 "remake" I am always asking for her to play some classics like Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and so on.

Eddie Perkins

"What is happening right now?" You had me laughing so hard. A doctor can feel for a hernia by using his or her fingers to examine the area around the groin and testicles. The doctor may ask you to cough while pressing on or feeling the area. And by the way, if a spider comes into my home, I'm going to treat them like I would any intruder.

You should check out Eight Legged Freaks, it's awesome
