Shatner

It seems like Robert (William Shatner) is one horny dude through this whole movie. It’s like he’s constantly wanting to hook up instead of dealing with the spider problem.

I just watched this last night and thought the same thing. Was he even interested in saving the town? He seemed too bent on chasing Tiffany Bolling's skirt to notice.

Exactly! It’s like come on Shatner, stop being such a hard dick and realize there’s a serious spider problem here. Lol

This movie is such a mess...and I've loved it from the first time I saw it...especially the final scene.

Hansen pries the boards off the window and says (as only Shatner can) "Dear God...Sweet Jesus." Then we get that ominous Phantom-esque organ music and a pull back shot of the entire town encased in webs! They must've run out of money for that shot of the town because it looks like a demented Currier & Ives illustration.

Right on! I’m due for a rewatch so I’ll check back in afterward.

I just finished my rewatch and yes, it was classic Shatneresque!!!

No one could've done it better!

If you like Jaws, then you should like this. Same style opening scene with the cow instead of the swimmer. The town mayor wants to ignore the potential problem because of tourism. The expert called in gets killed, in this case in the airplane. Its a carbon copy of Jaws

Oh what a tangled web Shat weaves, when he’s always trying to conceive.

Spider webs rolled tight, Shatner getting laid tonight!
