\"Arachnophobia_(soundtrack)\"<\/a>By Nik Rasmussen–\u00a0<\/strong>This time you might not want to turn off the lights or reach your hand somewhere without looking first. I\u2019ve got some creepy crawlies for you now.IT’S MOVIE TIME!!!<\/p>\n

Our story starts us off in some backwater jungle in South America when a group of scientists on an exploration for something that is super important (but also super boring) unknowingly ship a highly dangerous spider to America.\u00a0 Once in America, the spider gets busy with the local spiders, creating a large number of hand-sized spiders that can kill a person almost instantly with just one bite.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the main star of the movie moves to a small, quiet town somewhere in the middle of the U.S.\u00a0 He is a doctor, ready to replace the local doctor who was going to retire. The older doctor, like his taste in clothing, has trouble letting go and tells the main character to suck it.\u00a0 What a dick.<\/p>\n

Because of their lack of money, the main character and his family are forced to remain in the small town.\u00a0 As the body count raises, so does the number of eight-legged threats.<\/p>\n

Arachnophobia was released on July 18,\u00a01990 and is rated PG-13.\u00a0 Frank Marshall directed the film. The story was written by Don Jakoby, Wesley Strick and Al Williams.\u00a0 It stars Jeff Daniels, Harley Jane Kozek and John Goodman.\u00a0 This movie is a comical sci-fi horror thriller.\u00a0 The film\u2019s budget was estimated to earn $31 million in the beginning, but brought in a gross of $53,133,888 in the U.S. alone.\u00a0 The running time is one hour and forty-three minutes.<\/p>\n

Patrick Anderson, a student at Western Iowa Tech Community College first saw Arachnophobia at age eight and was terrified of spiders until age fifteen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw Home Alone, and I thought that if Kevin could handle a tarantula, then it can\u2019t be that bad, and I realized that they really weren\u2019t all that bad,\u201d said Anderson.<\/p>\n

Spiders are amazing critters that are often misunderstood. This is unfortunate, as spiders are important natural enemies of insects, and most are harmless to humans and pets. There are\u00a0about 40,000 types of spiders in the world, living everywhere except for Antarctica.\u00a0 Spiders to look out for in the Siouxland area are the black widow and the brown recluse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
