A search for a missing father leads to an encounter with a colossal arachnid for the man’s teen daughter and her boyfriend. After discovering her father’s wrecked pickup, they take a gander in an abandoned cave, stumble across some skeletons and fall into some kind of giant net. Finally, they lay eyes on said monster spider. The dorks manage to escape the caterwauling spider and bring a bit of the web to their science teacher after the local sheriff dismisses their story. The teacher gets the sheriff to organize a search party for the missing papa and warns the sheriff to bring a shit-ton of DDT just in case the teens aren’t lying, this proves fortuitous when the party meets the colossal creepy crawler. They spray the hell out of it and assume they have successfully dispatched the beast. The high school professor has his egghead-sense tingling and fearing there may be more giant creatures running about, he moves the creature to the school’s gymnasium for further study. Of course, the thing ain’t as dead as everyone assumed and some elderly-looking teens using the gymnasium to rehearse their sweet rock & roll sounds wake the damn thing up. Now the small mountain town is under attack from one pissed-off big ol’ bug. The spider doesn’t spend that much time touring the town and because people are idiots, the teenage couple end up trapped in the cave with the colossal creature when the big brains in charge dynamite the cave shut to starve the thing. So it’s a climactic race against the clock to dig the derps out before either the spider or the “bad air” gets ‘em. Pretty fun time from Bert I Gordon and American International brings the cheapjack special effects (superimposing a tarantula over footage of the quaint township and a giant spider-leg puppet used to attack various minor role players) and plenty of charm.
