Kingdom Of The Spiders Special Edition
Finally, a decent edition of this cult favorite. Kingdom of the Spiders just may be one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever made and when it isn't making viewers laugh it still has the power to make them shriek and brush imaginary spiders off their head and shoulders. Starring a Tj Hooker era Shatner as a desert town vet/doc the film also has one of the most gasp inducing endings ever. If you have kids make sure they see this at the right age so the ending burns itself onto their little brains. They'll talk about it for days.
Shout Factory! has packed this thing with great extras. First the William Shatner Interview is a joy. He seems genuinely fond of the film and having the chance to work with Woody Strode. In another interview Bug Wrangler Jim Brockett talks about working on the film,...

To some, nothing is scarier than spiders, unless you consider William Shatner’s career in the late 70’s (zing!). But there were a few exceptions and even Chris Pine can admit it’s pretty difficult to follow Shatner as James Tiberius Kirk. One film that Shatner did before throwing the maroon jumpsuit back on was a little film called Kingdom of the Spiders in which he takes down a legion of evil spiders.
Shatner played Dr Robert Hansen, who is sent to a small town after a serious of mysterious animal deaths, only to discover that it was only the beginning, and that an evil spider army was behind the whole thing. Finally, the film is making it’s way to DVD for all of us to relive, and we even have the original trailer for you to get excited for all over again.
