| The Giant Spider Invasion | comment |
A low-budget 1975 Sci-Fi Horror film directed by Bill Rebane which dares to show that, yes, there are rednecks living well north of the Mason-Dixon line, and no, covering up a Volkswagen with fake fur and sticking legs on it does not make a convincing giant spider.A meteorite crashes in Merrill, Wisconsin, leaving behind an ominous "wormhole" in the impact crater and a bunch of geodes scattered across a really unappealing farmer's property. Between belittling his alcoholic wife Ev, visiting the local prostitute, and threatening to spank his wife's teenage sister, Dan Kester attempts to sell the extraterrestrial rocks to his equally unappealing cousin Billy, but is miffed when the jeweler informs him that they don't have much value. Dan is distracted from these monetary woes when it turns out that the "geodes" are actually eggs, which hatch to release first a swarm of tarantulas, then badly-made, dog-sized spider puppets, and finally the Volkswagenspinne.While the assorted arachnids do their best to clean up northern Wisconsin's gene pool, a pair of scientists wander around ineffectually before airdropping a device that manages to close the wormhole and melt the spider-car. There are a couple of B-plots, including a fire-and-brimstone preacher's revival, a missing motorcyclist, and a young couple's quest to find a place to make out, but that's about it.The movie was filmed primarily on location in the towns of Merrill and Tomahawk, while the spider's rampage at a fair was shot during a Gleason Heritage Days event in Rebane's hometown of Gleason, Wisconsin. The cast is populated by famous has-beens including Alan Hale Jr. as a dumpy sheriff, Barbara Hale as a lady scientist in a pantsuit, and Steve Brodie as a morbidly obese NASA scientist. Robert Easton, who not only starred as Dan Kester but cowrote the screenplay — aside from being a 60-year acting veteran by the time of his death — was famous for his ability to do two hundred convincing regional accents. He became known as "The Man of a Thousand Voices" and was the best Hollywood dialect coach.note The only major Hollywood actor he never trained was Meryl Streep. One might wonder why Bill Rebane was able to hire them for his B-Movie — the simple reason was that all of those actors were born-and-bred Wisconsinites who knew Rebane very well, and used the film as a way to visit their families.That said, it was one of the top grossing films of 1975. With a budget of $300,000, the film has grossed over $15 million in domestic box office since its release.Bill Rebane has decided to turn The Giant Spider Invasion into a stage musical, and why not? He hopes it'll have legs.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page. | |

Left Hanging | |
| The Giant Spider Invasion / int_80b5924 | comment |
Left Hanging: The two scientists manage to bumble their way into killing the giant spider using science. As it melts into goo, they wonder if this will happen again. Of course the answer is it will, since all of the tiny spiders are still out there, and presumably have the power to grow big as well, and they never actually closed the wormhole that brought them here either. Also, the town is still in a state of anarchy and outrage, especially now that the sheriff is dead, not that he was all that great at keeping the peace anyway. | |

MockGuffin: The diamonds found in the geodes that the spiders come out of. Ev and Dan Kester think that the diamonds will make them rich. Cousin Billy says that they aren't worth much; but then again he also shows interest, implying that he might have been lying about their true value. In any case, they don't factor into the plot other than having Dan go out and gather more of them to get killed by the mother spider. | |

Nuclear Mutant | |
| The Giant Spider Invasion / int_9d67ad5c | comment |
Nuclear Mutant: A couple of early scenes with Drs. Vance and Langer imply that radiation causes the spiders' abnormal size, since the meteor crash coincided with (and probably caused) the disappearance of a B-52 carrying a nuclear weapon. On the other hand, this tidbit isn't mentioned after the first twenty minutes or so, which leads us to believe that these alien spiders naturally grow to huge sizes. | |

Too Dumb to Live: The Sheriff's Deputy at the end of the movie runs out of bullets shooting fruitlessly at the spider. Instead of fleeing like a sensible person, he throws his gun at the spider... then pulls off his gun belt and tries whipping the spider with it. Two guesses what happens to him next, and the first one is replaced with "remember Too Dumb to Live is a death trope". | |

| The Giant Spider Invasion / int_e6558beb | comment |
Artistic License – Space: A black hole in a meteor lets the spiders into our dimension! Our only hope is to bombard it with science! Believe it or not, not only would a black hole probably not be a portal to the spider dimension, it would just kinda compress everything within the local area, which would be dangerous enough. And you can't just feed it until it's full. A small black hole will dissipate after time, however, as micro-black holes do in colliders, unable to sustain themselves.note Had the film gone with a wormhole, it would have been marginally more believable. | |
