One Creepy Crawly Movie, 28 October 2003
Author: dire69 (dianeee@sympatico.ca) from Montreal, Canada

This movie gives me the creeps every single time I watch it but I love it. I have it on a vhs tape when it played on the "Space Channel". They should make more movies like this one. The only other spider movie that's good is "Arachnophobia" but it's not as good as this one.
