TAGLINES : "Bullets...won't kill it! Flames...can't burn it! Nothing...can stop it!" "The Spider will eat you alive!" - Teenagers from a rural community and their high school science teacher join forces to battle a giant mutant spider. When a man doesn't come home one night his daughter and her boyfriend go out searching and encounter a giant spider in a cave near the man's wrecked car. Coming back with the Sheriff, the spider is seemingly killed by DDT spraying, and the body then hauled for storage in the high school gymnasium. However, a loud dose of rock music by a teenage garage band revives the arachnid and sends it rampaging through the town. Original title : EARTH vs THE SPIDER The last of Bert I. Gordon's "giant special effects" features from the 1950s. He would not do another until 1965's Village of the Giants (1965). CAST includes Ed Kemmer, June Kenney, Eugene Persson, Mickey Finn, Gene Roth, Skip Young, Troy Patterson, Hank Patterson, Sally Fraser. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : This was filmed as "The Spider". Prior to completion, the title was changed to "Earth vs. The Spider" and that was used for the main title on the film itself. When The Fly (1958) became a blockbuster for 20th Century Fox, American International decided to ride on their success by changing the title back to simply "The Spider" on all advertising material. The main title on the film itself was never changed. Released by American International in September 1958, this was the third Bert I. Gordon "giant menace" film to be released that year. War of the Colossal Beast (1958) and Attack of the Puppet People (1958) were released earlier in the year. Inside the film of THE SPIDER, the town's cinema is playing a double bill of these other titles!
