Of course I went with Tarantula. The 70's had great camp movies like that film, Killer Bees, Piranha, Frogs, Tentacles which Joel picked, Ben, Killdozer, the Karen Black trilogy with that horrible Ooga-Booga doll. We have the 50's which is where I went, with everything from the giant ants to Gila monsters, praying Mantis and gigantic people.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-75870030456912831112016-10-15T10:29:32.737-04:002016-10-15T10:29:32.737-04:00Might be the greatest title ever.

Just off the top of my head, in addition to those already mentioned, we have Tremors, Squirm, The Giant Gila Monster, Them!, Phase IV, The Killer Shrews, Attack of the Giant Leeches, Food of the Gods...<br /><br />And (aside from Them!, which really is great), that doesn't even get to the actual great movies from this genre like Jaws. Or the modern stuff from this genre like Lake Placid and Anaconda and Deep Blue Sea. And Piranha. And...I'll stop now.<br /><br />I do kind of love Kingdom of the Spiders. The ending is so great.

Of course that major hambone Bill Shatner was just made for this sort of drivel.<br /><br />I hated Creepshow but those two segments certainly fit. Haven't seen Big Ass Spider nor Man's Best Friend, I have something of an Ally Sheedy allergy, but they work well for this week.<br /><br />I thought of you Dell when I was compiling this week's choices and since the theme lends itself to the lower strata of cinema I decided to follow your example and scrap around the bottom dregs of the barrel for this dubious crop of celluloid. <br /><br />Tentacles (1977)-Balderdash about a killer octopus terrorizing a resort town, and not just in the sea but on land!!! Three Oscar winners, Henry Fonda, John Huston & Shelley Winters, and several other respected performers collect a paycheck.<br /><br />Empire of the Ants (1977)-Shady real estate agent Joan Collins and a bunch of potential suckers for her latest scheme land on an island in the Florida Everglades that thanks to toxic waste has been overtaken by giant mutant killer ants!! Crunch and munch.<br /><br />Night of the Lepus (1972)-Bizarre cheapie about a genetic experiment gone wrong. Killer rabbits terrorize the countryside!! Hilarity ensues. Poor Janet Leigh from Psycho to this in only a dozen years!<br /><br />Bonus-Killer Bees (1974)-Young man (Edward Albert) brings his fiancée (Kate Jackson) home to his family’s vineyard to meet the matriarch of his clan Madame Maria von Bohlen (Gloria Swanson), who has a strange bond with the bee colony that is the backbone of the family business. Worth catching for the cast alone. This is somewhat out of the perimeter since it was a TV Movie of the Week but it’s surely the best movie on the list! joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-84701847465024890002016-10-13T09:24:06.237-04:002016-10-13T09:24:06.237-04:00I CAN'T with spiders, they give me the creeps ...I CAN'T with spiders, they give me the creeps SO BAD. Also, ever since moving into my own place in NYC, every time I'm away for more than a day my biggest fear is that when I return I will either find my place to be robbed or to be overrun with bugs like in that Creepshow segment. So, you know, thanks for pushing all my fear triggers, Dell!
