Tarantula (1955)
Starring: Leo G. Carroll, John Agar
Director: Jack Arnold
Synopsis: A 100-foot-tall tarantula, produced by scientific experiments, freaks out and goes on a destructive tear. Following in the wake of 1954's Them!, this is a quintessential nuked-giant-insect-on-a-rampage movie, one of the few that has survived the years—perhaps due to a cameo by Clint Eastwood.
Runtime: 81 minutes
MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Genres: Cult, Horror, Sci-Fi/Fantasy
