Who remembers the 1990 movie starring John Goodman, Jeff Daniels & Julian Sands "Arachnophobia" No worries you won't see any insanely huge spiders, though you may see one just don't show any fear and you won't be it's next victim!

Some fun movie facts: The small spiders used in the film were Avondale spiders (Delena Cancerides), a harmless species from New Zealand that were provided by Landcare Research in Auckland. Despite their fierce appearance, this spider is docile member of the crab-spider family and are, in fact, harmless to humans. They were not allowed back in New Zealand for quarantine reasons. The giant "spider" used in the film was a species of a bird-eating tarantula, which attains an 8" legspan or more. Those types of tarantula are not easy to handle and can give a nasty bite. The spiders in the film were managed and handled by famed entomologist Steven R. Kutcher.

Family Ties (1982) is playing on the TV when spiders start crawling over the screen.

Brian McNamara, who plays Chris Collins in Arachnophobia, was actually on an the episode of Family Ties entitled "A, My Name Is Alex", from 1987. The TV is playing an episode from Family Ties in the scene the house is covered in spiders.

Enjoy the hunt & Happy Caching!!!
