Definitely NOT Recommended For Arachnophobes, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                      Join us all tomorrow night, girls, as Svengoolie presents one of the gems of Universal's giant monster movies--1955's "Tarantula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|



                                       Unlike the previously shown "Earth Vs. The Spider," this is not fun and campy. This is serious stuff.  The film was based on an episode of the 50's TV program "Science Fiction Theater," called "No Food For Thought," which, like the film, has a connection to "The Food Of The Gods," by H. G. Wells.


                                       If I remember correctly, there is a terrifying scene where the heroine, played by Mara Corday, is in a bedroom.  She looks out the window and sees the eyes of the creature leering at her, pincers open, mouth drooling!  I am certain this is the film.  Or, maybe, "The Black Scorpion."  We will just have to wait and find out, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                       Mara Corday celebrated her 92nd birthday, just eleven days ago.  She was Playboys Playmate Of The Month, for October 1958.  We should all look that good, dolls!!!!!!!!!


                                          Veteran character actor Leo G. Carroll gives it his all.  His experiments trigger the tarantula.  You have to see his face, darlings!  He develops the worst case of acromegaly since Rondo Hatton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                               See you all tomorrow, for this classic gem!  Baby Gojira, Pippin, Kerwyn, and Cucumbo are SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
