Horror 101 – Episode 136: Arachnophobia

Eight legs, two fangs and an attitude.

We put Nood through the creepy crawler ringer once again! This show we’re going back to 1990 and revisiting the thrillomity of that summer. Its been confirmed, we lost Julian Sands on Mount Baldy this year. He was part of this Spielberg produced killer spider film which cuts an even slice of dread and comedy to appeal to all audiences. Fond memories of this title. We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 treatment of Frank Marshall’s Arachnophobia! Be sure to shake your shoes and check your popcorn!
