April 5, 2007 By John D. Page Format:DVD This is yet another of those late night movies that I watched growing up(with every light that I could turned on and feet firmly on the couch) and when I found this one for a dollar I grabed it up. I must say that it's not as good as I thought it was, but I had fun watching it again and yes I kept my feet on the couch. 4.0 out of 5 stars Hairy Eight-legged Thrills & Chills From The 1970's August 25, 2011 By Isobel Poe Format:DVD When I was a kid, all I ever wanted to be was a "spider scientist". Luckily for me, there were tv movies on fairly regularly in the vein of Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo. I remember watching this movie on tv, even the specific scenes with the spiders in the burlap coffee bags (and I always look twice at bags of un-ground coffee too) on the plane and the ending. The combination of television stars, action writing, and hairy-legged spiders actually is quite satisfying for me, even as a grown-up. I love having this dvd as a creepy little reminder of television in the 70s.
