This one is kind of a crappier, tv-movie version of KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS which came out this same year. It must have been a popular year for little creepy-crawly monsters. Tom Atkins and Dr. Johnny Fever(Howard Hesseman) from WKRP IN CINCINNATI show up to set things in motion. Then Sheriff Lobo(Claude Akins) from B.J. AND THE BEAR takes over as the bossy fireman who comes up with an absurd plan to rid his town of these venomous spiders, whose numbers seem to range from 4 to about 2 dozen from shot to shot. Played mostly as a drama it never gets all that scary or intense unless you have a really strong fear of spiders I guess.
A whole cavalcade of killer critters!:
Wednesday night on CBS!:
Released to theaters in Mexico with a way gorier poster than the movie itself!:
