re: #257 palomino

Nice 50’s B-movie horror reference. Still one of my wife’s favorites for its cheesy paranoia, goofy special effects, but surprisingly intelligent story (at least for that genre).

“Them!” and “Tarantula” are probably my two faves of the ‘big bugs’ genre. I first saw “Tarantula” when I was about 5 years old or so; the local indie TV station in LA (this was in the 1970s) always ran a ‘Creature Feature’ on Sunday afternoons.

Good thing I’ve never been arachnophobic, unlike, say…..my ex-wife who once ran screaming - naked - around the apartment when she saw a tiny spider on the faucet as she was about to take a shower. For a brief moment, I thought she was going to run out onto the balcony, LOL.
