Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kiss of the Tarantula (also known as Death Kisses and released in the UK as Shudder) is a 1976 US horror film starring Eric Mason (also known for Scream Blacula Scream), Suzanna Ling, Herman Wallner, Linda Spatz, Beverly Eddins and Patricia Landon. It was directed by Chris Munger.The main character is Susan Bradley (Ling), a young, spider-obsessed girl with a habit of siccing her pet tarantulas on those who wrong her or threaten her loved ones (which, outside of the spiders, consists of her father Harry, the local mortician). The movie is basically a genderswapped Willard with spiders instead of rats. There are twin subplots involving Susan's Creepy Uncle, Walter (Harry's brother): Investigating the mysterious deaths of several teens and his even-more creepy stalking of Susan.The film received the RiffTrax treatment in 2015.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A Family Affair: Helen was carrying on an affair with Walter, her husband's brother, and the two of them plotted to murder the husband so they could be together. Their plan is foiled in the opening act when Susan catches wind of them and murders her mother. Unfortunately, Walter's affections then transfer to Susan. | |

| Kiss of the Tarantula / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: From her very first onscreen appearance, Helen is a shrieking harpy who yells at Susan for playing with spiders (not out of fear for Susan's safety, but because she finds spiders to be gross), including killing one of her pet spiders and demanding that she be whipped for being angry at Helen stomping her pet. When talking with her husband, she outright admits that she hates Susan for being a Creepy Child. Averted in the case of Susan's father, however, who is portrayed as an okay guy, if a bit clueless. | |
