A 35-minute cut of The Giant Spider Invasion will be shown on Super-8 sound film at Super-8 Giant Monster Movie Madness next Tuesday, May 1st at The Way Out Club in St. Louis.
Wisconson-based regional filmmaker Bill Rebane’s no-budget wonder The Giant Spider Invasion was a hilariously cheesy 1975 throwback to the giant-monster flicks of the 50s, a trend then enjoying a revival with films like Empire Of The Ants and Food Of The Gods. This outrageous mix of giant monster motifs and backwoods sleaze plays like a hybrid of Tarantula and The Blob with its mixture of giant spiders and falling meteors. I saw The Giant Spider Invasion at the long-shuttered Ellisville Cinema in West St. Louis County (on a double bill with the David Niven vampire comedy Old Dracula). I recall the poster in the lobby which featured a gargantuan spider bearing down on a group of terrified people.

When you first think of exploitation and grindhouse films, what comes to mind? Brutal rape-revenge flicks like I Spit on Your Grave or Last House on the Left? The Godfather of Gore, Hershell Gordon Lewis or the Mammary Maestro, Russ Meyer? Nazisploitation, led by Ilsa? Those are all excellent examples of the wonderful garbage you could find on New York's 42nd Street, the Times Square location of what was once the largest red light district in the country. There was one filmmaker who was one of the most prolific filmmakers on the Deuce, but most people have never heard of him. His name is Andy Milligan, and he was a real son-of-a-bitch. Milligan was born an Army brat in Minnesota in 1929. His father was a...
