Scream Factory has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Bert I. Gordon's film The Spider (1958), starring Ed Kemmer, June Kenney, Eugene Persson, Gene Roth, and Hal Torey. The release will be available for purchase on June 23.

Synopsis: Moviegoers had already been exposed to giant ants and a man turning half-fly when The Spider creeped onto movie theater screens. Producer/writer/special effects supervisor Bert I. Gordon was just the man to bring this giant arachnid to the screen, having frightened moviegoers with films like Attack Of The Puppet People and The Amazing Colossal Man.

Quiet River Falls is the town awakened by the insect's devastating rampage. Two teens discover the monster, see it temporarily disabled by gas ... and then watch in terror as it unfolds its eight arms of doom. Will our heroes survive? Or will the entire town fall prey to this unstoppable fanged horror?!?
