Just saw this morning that there was a remake in the works before the strike started.

The original movie scarred me for life. I watched it way too young. Actually, there probably isn't a good age to watch it really.

Oddly enough, when I wanted to show it to my high school sweetheart, I found it in the Comedy section of Hollywood Video. I don't remember anything funny about that movie.

Seems like a movie that holds up for what it is and doesn't need a remake.

Goodman was funny.

Tear out bad wood. Put in good wood.

I think my first and only time to watch this movie was when my 5th grade teacher put it on for a party around Halloween. The 90's were wild.

I watched it many times as a kid and remain scared of spiders to this day.

I also remember it being on TV pretty often when I was young, but haven't seen it in many years. Strange how some movies go out of TBS/TNT"s favor. Like Executive Decision for example

Another great spider movie that never got as much recognition as it deserved was Shatner's Kingdom of the Spiders. Holds up very well for a B horror flick. Full thing on YouTube.

RIP julian sands. That opening scene was scary as heck!

First thing I thought of when I saw the thread title.

Didn't he actually die in real life recently?

Yeah, he was lost while hiking, there were storms at the time as I recall. They just recently confirmed that remains found belong to him.

I like to think he went out on a hike and ran into the same spider from the movie. Either way, RIP Warlock

Never had a problem with spiders until my parents bought a house on the edge of the woods in Lake Jackson. I found myself exploring those woods, walking with a long stick, which I used to knock down webs. One had a big ugly banana spider, which seems to have taken offense at my stick. It grabbed ahold of the stick and was making a mad dash toward my hand. That was the moment I developed arachnophobia. Had several spider encounters while living there, including one that got under my sheets at 3am with me in them.

F that.

Never saw the movie and never will.

A friend was watching with my girlfriend and I. I went to the bathroom, crept up behind them and dropped my hand on his shoulder right as the spider dropped from the lamp. He almost put a hole on the ceiling he jumped so high.

Now, you put tornados, clowns, or sharks in the mix and I go full on NOPE in 0-60.

Especially growling tornadoes!

This sucker built his web on the backside of the door to my workshop connected to the bay door. Got pretty close to him when I walked in.

Yea I dont know why I said his honestly because i definitely know better

Great movie that even my kids love. We watch it every Halloween season just to see something scary but not too scary.

Had a substitute teacher show it to us in class in 4th grade. Regular teacher wasn't to happy about that, and punished the whole class.

Jaws made me scared of the water (including baths).
Arachnophobia made me scared of the attic and our barn.
Captain EO made me scared of Michael Jackson.

Children of the Corn made me scared of corn fields.

I picked it out at the video store when I was 13 I think because I too thought it was a comedy. It had John Goodman the dad from Roseanne after all.

I picked out a pile of movies because I was getting my wisdom teeth out and would be home for a day or two after. They had to put me completely under and mess with the tendons/muscles in my jaw. I was high as a kite still when I got home and put that movie in first.

I hate and am terrified by spiders to this day and I've never tried to watch that movie again.

I hate this movie. I haven't turned on a lamp in 30 years without thinking of this ****ing movie.

The remake will have the spiders be all females, befriend human females, and only kill males.
