About the event
For a Halloween Special, we are showing Arachnophobia. Another overlooked classic - directed by Frank Marshall - Steven Spielberg's longtime producer and second unit director in his first foray in the main seat. It's a great story, heavily influenced by Hitchcock's 'The Birds' and the 1960s classics 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' and 'Them'. What could be a cheesy B monster movie is elevated by a great script by Wesley Strick (fresh from Cape Fear). Rather than overblown set pieces, Marshall uses the small town setting to great effect - and assembles a superb cast of character actors - and a star turn from John Goodman (who had to film it in time off from 'Roseanne'. Creepy and fun - but nothing to be too scared of.
