36 Days of Halloween - 1990: Arachnophobia

City doctor moves to the country. Spider moves from Venezuela to country. Spider finds loves, makes baby spiders. Baby spiders kill a bunch of people. Doctor tries to stop it. Arachnophobia is neither as funny nor as scary as I remember it being. Also, it turns out that it's John Goodman, *not* John Candy playing the role of the cocky exterminator. I don't know why I was convinced it was Candy. This isn't a bad movie, but it's not particularly exciting, either. I think I'll stick with Eight Legged Freaks as my go-to for spider-based horror comedies. Arachnophobia is pretty tame, sort of mid-grade "I expect that it plays on tv a lot" for a horror movie. 4 out of 8 spider legs.
