Case File 113: Arachnophobia
Jun 25, 2025•1 hr 32 min
Episode description
This week, we're headed to the quiet town of Canaima, where a deadly infestation is crawling just beneath the surface. We're breaking down Arachnophobia, the Spielberg-produced “thrill-omedy” that gave audiences a reason to check their shoes before putting them on.
Topics include: the more straightforward tone of the original script, how the finished film aims to balance those genuine scares with campy charm, our favorite characters and moments, the complex logistics behind wrangling hundreds of real spiders on set, the comic book, the video game, the abandoned remake, and more!
