Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was supposed to be a dramatic shot of the giant spider crushing the house by having the spider dropped from a crane onto it while a bulldozer chained to the back of the house would pull away. However, when the shot was filmed, the spider's legs all went straight up into the air. The crew inside working it's arms were nearly killed when broken wood from the demolished house went through the spider, coming close to impaling them.
- GoofsWhen Dr.Vance and Dr. Langer are with the Sheriff in his office, the boom mic can be seen at the bottom of the frame, alternately pointing at each actor as they speak.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was heavily cut for an 'A' (PG) certificate to remove some sexual dialogue and a topless shot, and to edit scenes of gore including victims being eaten, shots of blood, and close-ups of dead bodies. The 2005 Stax DVD release was uncut and upgraded to a 15.

Featured review
Ode to an MST3K fav -
As most people might know, this is one of the many movies that was riffed by a wonderful cult-classic called Mystery Science Theater 3000. Now, the whole beauty of the later-series shows is that they would take a movie that, in itself, wasn't absolutely horribly boring and enhance it with riffs. _The Giant Spider Invasion_ as a singular movie isn't all that bad. Sure, it's goofier than hell, but that's the beauty of it. Now, I'm not quite sure in this case if I'd want to sit down and watch this movie without the crew from MST3K riffing it, but I wouldn't be completely bored out of my mind. Hell, just trying to justify all of the scientific faults in this movie alone will keep a person busy for the length of the movie. All in all, I give it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. Fine need something better to do rather than watch paint dry fun. ;)
