	Movies - The Giant Spider Invasion

The Giant Spider Invasion is a low-budget 1975 movie made by Cinema Group 75, directed by Bill Rebane, about giant spiders terrorizing a Wisconsin town. It achieved national exposure, long after its production, by being shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000 on the 10th episode of the show's 8th season.

The film gives major roles to some actors who might have been considered "has-beens" at the time: the leads were Steve Brodie and Barbara Hale, with roles of some size going to Alan Hale, Jr. and Leslie Parrish. The film's final monster, the only actual "giant spider", was constructed by covering a Volkswagen automobile with artificial fur; the back of the car became the front of the monster so that the red tail-lights could serve as the monster's glowing red eyes.
