Two teenagers (June Kenney and Gene Persson) find a giant spider in a cave. While dormant, the beast is brought to a high school auditorium, where it revives and proceeds to spread terror through the area. A local teacher (Ed Kemmer) helps lead the battle against it. Also known as The Spider, this fun low-budget chiller from producer-director Bert I. Gordon, a specialist in outsized monsters (1957's The Amazing Colossal Man), boasts above-average special effects.

The Fly (1958)

Horror , Monster , Science Fiction
TVY, Twentieth Century Fox
Herbert Marshall
Vincent Price

The classic science fiction-horror film about a scientist's two "teleport" machines, one of which dissolves atoms, while the other reconstructs them. When the scientist unwittingly shares the machine with a common housefly, he turns into a hideous hybrid of man and insect--and begins to literally bug out. The scientist wants to reverse the process, but first he must catch that fly. Hilarious as well as horrific, this spawned two sequels in the '50s ("Return of the Fly" and "Curse of the Fly") before starting another cycle in the '80s, beginning with David Cronenberg's elegant updating ("The Fly," 1986). Vincent Price stars as the doomed scientist's brother.
