H Minus 15: Tarantula



Even Science was stunned!

Science-fiction's most terrifying thrill!

More terrifying than any horror known to man comes a creeping crawling monster whose towering fury no one can escape!

Science's Deadliest Accident!




Bullets Can't Stop It! Dynamite Can't Kill It!

Giant spider strikes! Crawling terror 100 feet high!

Monster Spider...crawling terror 100 feet high!

Researchers seeking clue! Can anything escape it?




Tarantula (1955) Directed by Jack Arnold. Starring John Agar, Mara Corday, Leo G. Carroll and Nestor Paiva with a young Clint Eastwood as the (uncredited) leader of the jet squadron.



"I never saw anything like it! No footprints! No blood! No sign of a struggle! The bones just stripped clean like peeling a banana!"

This is one of my favorite 1950s monster movies.

They did a pretty amazing job using a live spider on miniature sets and getting it to "act".
