Eight Legged Freaks/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Completely Missing the Point: A fair number of critics seemed to completely miss the comedy aspects, treating it as a serious attempt at a horror movie and panning it as such. The fact that it was meant to be silly apparently never crossed their minds.
  • Ear Worm: Joey Deluxe's "Itsy Bitsy Spider".
  • Narm Charm: The whole point of the movie! Especially the ridiculous noises the spiders make! They roar, they hiss, and when they're hurt they act like cartoons! When set on fire they squeal, when squished they go "bleah", and you might even hear a "whee" or two!
  • Nightmare Retardant: The goofy noises the spiders keep making can easily defuse the terror for non-arachnophobes.
