Scream Factory: Eight Legged Freaks Detailed for Blu-ray

Scream Factory has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Ellory Elkayem's Eight Legged Freaks (2002), starring Kari Wuhrer, David Arquette, Scarlett Johansson, Doug E. Doug, and Rick Overton. The release will be available for purchase on July 20.

Synopsis: What do you get when you cross a toxic waste with a bunch of exotic spiders? Eaten! The townies of Prosperity, Arizona, will all become a screaming smorgasbord if mutated arachnids as big as SUVs have their way in this comedy/horror crowd pleaser whose creators include the producers of Independence Day and Godzilla. Spiders that leap like gazelles, web-spitting spiders, spiders that suck your insides out as if through a straw – they're all among the behemoths conjured up by an inventive effects team.

David Arquette (Scream) heads the two-legged stars, mobilizing the citizenry in a last-ditch fight to survive. Here's hoping they succeed. Otherwise, Prosperity – maybe the world – could be reduced to one giant, uh, website!
