The monster is created by humans, and ultimately killed by humans. What did the spider do wrong?! Seeing Clint Eastwood running bit parts back then, involved in many monster movies~ Although he only showed his eyes at the end, he was still very handsome!

Looks like Arnold loved spiders.

Too sleepy to catch the midnight showing, but there's always the morning matinee. Absolutely loving these cheesy B-movies from the 50s… full of guilty pleasures!

The special effects in old movies are just fantastic. When I dream about being chased by monsters, it always has that hazy, dark, and blurry tone. And the female lead's costumes are so eye-catching! Before the spider even appeared, I was constantly checking out the characters' clothing, the architecture, and the props. That's one of the great things about watching black and white movies. It's like how a blind person's hearing becomes more acute. By removing color, the age, fabric, thickness, and function of things... somehow become clearer. (Thinking about it this way, black and white movies must be the most difficult to make, since you can't rely on the beauty of nature to enhance the film. So those groundbreaking classics must have come from flashes of inspiration...)

I remember this movie played on local TV. I stumbled upon it once during a holiday meal. The plot revolves around a scientist developing a drug that can make animals grow rapidly. As a result, the scientist's friend injects the drug, and his face becomes abnormally deformed and twisted. The enraged, deformed man tries to kill the scientist but accidentally shatters a glass container, causing a giant tarantula to escape from the laboratory. A town doctor is suspicious of the deformed man's death, and a female assistant from out of town, who has come to assist the scientist, gradually uncovers the scientist's secret. The carcasses of cattle and horses, eaten clean, and the scattered white, poisonous slime all over the ground, lead the doctor to suspect... (*Tarantula!*)
