*Eight legs of terror in the Arizona desert*
Step back to 1977, when William Shatner traded the Enterprise's captain's chair for a showdown with thousands of tarantulas in this cult classic ecological horror film. "Kingdom of the Spiders" brought arachnid terror to rural Arizona, using real spiders instead of special effects to create genuine creepy-crawly suspense.
