The itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the water spout; down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Spiders live rent free in my nightmares and as much as I enjoyed this movie, I hated every second of it lol! Sam definitely had a great time though!
Thank you all for your support!
Sorry to say, they live rent free in your house, too.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 thank you for this chuckle. He's right ya know! Sleep tight.
LOL I have arachnophobia too, and the first time I watched this was on TV; we had a small screen, and I was sitting on the other side of the living room. my wife was laughing as I squirmed non-stop in my seat! I still have the fear (had it since I was 3 years old... which also gave me my PTSD we uncovered recently), but I have started watching movies like * Legged Freaks, and another comedy called Big @$$ Spider!
@@kingscorpion7346 p
Thank you for suffering for our mere amusement.
I was SO stoked to see that you guys chose this movie. My uncle is a retired Entomologist and specialized in research of the Goliath Birdeater. He was on the production crew for Arachnophobia and assisted with technical advice and the spider "wrangling." Trying to get spiders, especially in large numbers, to behave for a camera was a nightmare lol. Doing it without hurting them required some really neat tricks. None of them wanted anything to do with people or what was going on. Just keeping them from eating each other was hard enough lol.
That last spider is like a freaking boss battle at the end of a video game.
The General 😏 😂
@Mark Foster oh god we dare not speak his name.
@@MFobe Nah, the last one was the Queen if I recall. The General was the one that go fried by the electrical box.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 the last fight is the general ...
Shelob
Your reaction was hilarious. Loved it. And some of your comments... 🤣
10:05 "But they just saved this spider. So maybe this spider will communicate to the main spider that this family's really chill."
Yeah dude, it's not Charlotte's Web. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 As I'm reading this, I'm listening to him say that. Almost pissed myself.
"They are talking"
"Therapy!"
Best line in the entire movie. Especially the way he delivers it.
Yeah he delivers it with real venom. No pun intended.
"It wasn't talking to the other spider. It was banging it!". I haven't laughed this much in a long time. And your wife's reaction was the best. Great video.
I was laughing at that too 😂😂😂
TBR adjusting his glasses lol
It was a good movie, it is in my country Venezuela, the jungle carriage is called Canaima (as the name of the town) there are the Tepui and the highest waterfalls in the world: Angel Falls.
Within the mountains there are cliffs with jungles and unique animals that have evolved separately from the rest of the world.
It is in the same area where the waterfalls of paradise from the movie Up.
If there are spiders of that size, they are called: Monkey spider.
Cool!
Yeah no thanks with the Monkey Spiders. I've heard of them. Idk how you can deal with the crazy things that must have evolved there. Probably beautiful place though
I loved how the camera-angles added to the horror - from edge of doors, under desks, from floorboards, from ceiling corners. Soooo excellent.
This is one of the *BEST* reaction videos I have ever watched! This movie is so good and so overlooked, nobody watches it, and many have never even heard of it.
There's enough humor in it to give it a lighter feel, and a lot of the scares are immediately followed by laughter of laughing at oneself for being scared, but the horror is a real horror that people can relate to (spiders), not zombies or monsters or things you've never seen.
Even the Warlock Julian Sands couldn't defeat the little spider.
I'm so glad I campaigned for this for 6+ months!!! Glad you enjoyed!!!
“Enjoyed” 😂😂 thanks, Moon!
These jumping spiders are Huntsman, mostly found in Australia. They're very friendly... and big.
I believe they used a species of New Zealand huntsman in this film. As well as a tarantula.
"It wasn't talking to the other spider, it was banging it"... I almost peed myself! Great one, guys. 🤗😁
Watches Psycho: "That was intense"
Watches Arachnophobia: "Oh noooo F'ing way...I'm never going to be able to shower"
🤣
😂😂
Haha! Samantha seems so giddy at how shook TBR is...😆
Exactly what I said, I loved it
I forgot about this movie! My mom was panicking the whole time in the theater, meanwhile my dad and kid me were loving it!
Such a great movie. Did for spiders what Jaws did for sharks
Now I can't do land or ocean... Alien took care of space so what are my options lol
Yes. And the thing is this: the super deadly spiders in this movie doesn't exist. In reality, the most deadly spiders on earth are funnel web spiders, especially the Sydney funnel web spider from Australia. But, even funnel web spiders are not out to get any human being because we're not a part of their diet for survival.
@@TBRSchmitt Death, I guess.
@@TBRSchmitt I live a hermit life. My dog may be killer then. I side eye my Yorkshire terrier every day. What she planning? When will she strike? Dorris is a name that strikes terror into the heart of non-terriers. So can you blame me? Scarier than Cujo as a name.
But Seriously though, Goodman is a joy in this movie, as is Jeff Daniels...But F this movie. Great as it may be. I saw this under age 10. Perhaps 6-8. So it's no wonder a spider scuttling across the floor is pure horror to me. I live in the UK. We have zero poisonous spiders.
...neither did this town! O.o
@@TBRSchmitt another dimension 😅
I remember seeing this a year or two before I really properly got into horror in my early teens. I remember feeling at the time like such a big shot for sitting through a genuine horror movie, failing to realize it was a horror comedy xD To this day, though, I'm amazed how well this film can pull off a grown man having an actual fight with a single spider.
16:23 - can't help remembering in Eight Legged Freaks the cat imprint on the wall and ceiling.
I was so entertained by this reaction even though it at the cost of TBRs pain. Best line:"the spider is on a revenge tour."
My friends made me watch this in the theater when it came out. I can 100% say watching your reaction brought back ALL of the trauma from that experience. As I'm typing this... I still have goose bumps and chills from watching. May have been a mistake watching this with ya'll.
27:19 That reaction almost got me an Oscar. Well done, guys. As always.
I saw this film when it first came out. To this day... I check any pair of shoes that I haven't worn in a few days by bashing them against something to shake out any potential spider. There never is any, but I gotta stay vigilant.
I stomp on the toes of the shoe. 🤣
There was a false widow tucked up inside my Internet router the other day, right in the bit at the bottom where you have to a stick your fingers and have a good old rummage around to reset it or attach cables. Gave it a really good shake and it just sat there, looking at me. Absolutely could not dislodge it. Tried to crush it and couldn’t get at it. Had to vacuum the bastard out.
@@johngarcia7774 Funnel web spiders fangs are sharp enough to puncture through shoes and fingernails. So please reconsider that approach if you visit Australia.
I saw this movie on theaters. I was 9 or 10? The whole theater was screaming and alternatively laughing.
It was an epic experience.
"I hate spiders with an extreme passion"
Me clicking on this knowing this is the film that made me feel exactly the same way.
Whatever I'm feeling before pressing play right now is wrong but cannot deny I'm gonna enjoy this.
I'll happily share my pain. Nice to see you're the same.
Thanks bud.
30:32 is the guy who got shot by Arnold on Mars, for sweating, in "Total Recall."
So I took my newlywed wife to see this movie at the time, and she absolutely hated spiders. We came home and she fell asleep on the couch, I saw her hairbrush and grabbed some hair out of it and lightly brushed her arm while softly singing the itsy-bitsy spider crawled up beside her. We have been divorced for 28 years now.😂
Do’s and don’ts for newlyweds! 😂
Ya brought it on yerself there, budday.
Worth it !!!🤣🤣
I don't blame her lol
It always makes me smile, how the showdown is one of the most dramatically shot and tense scenes you’ll ever see in a movie……and it’s with a spider! Frank Marshall really should have made a lot more movies. The plane crash in ‘Alive’, is enough to put you off flying for ever!
Awesome reaction! Very underrated movie. The music that plays in this movie whenever the Spiders show up has stuck with me for years. Whenever I see one in real life it plays in my head😂
I just busted out laughing loudly when you said "oh it wasn't talking to the other spider it was banging it"
When I was 10, I went camping with my family. Had a great camp site with many large trees. At night it was beautiful without a cloud in the night sky. Then it felt like it was raining out, and started tickling all over. My dad turned on the large gas lantern really bright. To our horror, multitudes of spider nests had hatched above our heads, and it was raining baby spiders like a light drizzle. We were covered from head to toe of baby spiders crawling all over us. To this day, I still freeze when I see a spider, and the smaller they are, the more fearful I am. I suffer from arachnophobia, and this movie is the scariest one I have ever watched.
OMG!
I remember watching this at home and I saw a shadow of my hand on the floor and I nearly jumped through the ceiling then laughed at myself thanks again!
The part that usually freaked me out the most was the remains of the photographer once he reached the states. Granted the container was not sealed well at all, but in order for the spider to live that long in the crate it would have had to bite and liquefy parts of the man's body several times. So it's suggested that the guy looks this bad because the spider has been using some very nasty venom on him.
I'll watch horror movies about anything over this. This is just too real.
I've seen this at least a dozen times over the years but have rarely enjoyed it as much as watching you two watch it. Especially TBR's reactions. Made ME laugh a LOT! LOL
This was one of the most enjoyable reactions yet! I love this movie (not afraid of spiders) but it does have some scary moments. I love these kind of horror movies that freak me out but are fun and aren’t gory or super violent. Wish they’d make more like this. Anyway, watching you flip out was an especially fun way to relive this one.
One of your best reactions. An absolutely amazing movie. The "little" spiders were a harmless species and safe to handle during production but still unnerve me.
Oh god no. I genuinely don't know if I'll be able to watch the video rather than just, like, listen to it in another tab.
Just waiting around for the next Patreon reaction of yours and I find this...just made my Labor day. Just watching Schmitts face and his twitching...and Samanthas laughing at his reactions was hilarious." It wasn't talking to the other spider. It was banging it!" oh man. that and " this is even getting me i've never felt like i was being crawled on more"
"That cricket is like, "FUCKING RUN!!"" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of my favorite movies when I was younger. I still watch it all the time. So cool to see someone react to it. John Goodman was hilarious as usual.
Ba ha ha..ok when you said "it has to be a fake body because no human would let a spider crawl on them" it immediately made me think of Cable Guy with Jim Carrey. Towards the end there's a scene where he's laying down outside and you can watch a spider walk across his face...still gives me chills!
This reaction was fun to watch! 😂
The greatest reaction video EVER. Love this channel !
OK, an arachnophile here, the professor was trying to call the spider out of hiding. He was use to dealing with spiders and these didn’t act anything like normal spiders. Tarantulas can’t even fall over two feet without catastrophic, death causing damage. These spiders jumping ten is just a bit of movie magic done with mechanical prop spiders. I love this movie but can’t begin to count how unrealistic it actually is! The small spiders used in the film are harmless Avondale spiders from New Zealand. The spider wranglers protected and made sure none were harmed! Goodman had a hollowed out boot sole for stepping on the spider. The large mygalomorph spiders used for the general and queen were actually Goliath bird eating spiders, which are the largest tarantulas on earth! Some can attain a leg span of 10”! That’s as big as a dinner plate! Even at that size they have a relatively harmless bite and can be safely handled. I saw this when I was ten and it was what inspired me to save up a buy my first pet, a zebra knee tarantula! I’ve been fascinated ever since!
This was the movie I chose to watch the first time I was allowed to stay home alone for the night... It was a mistake, I haven't seen this since the early 90s and even checking this reaction gives me chills before I start.
Why is it that I'm imagining TBR, for several days after having watched this, pulling the bed covers back before he gets in and tapping all of his shoe to make sure there aren't any spiders there?
Hand on my heart, I’m watching the basement showdown with the egg sac part and a jumping spider crawled across my desk.
As an Aussie I’m pretty used to these guys and don’t mind them at all, but I’ve never seen one crawl across a desk while I was sitting there. They usually like to be on screen doors or walls where their ‘jumping’ trick is more useful.
Have you seen the Friendly Spider short films? They're absolutely adorable.
This is one of the best reactions I have ever seen! I was laughing so hard during the shower scene! Thanks for the laughs and all the great content!
I saw this in the theater. When I tell you that the whole theater was screaming throughout this movie, I am not exaggerating. It was the best time at a movie
My favorite reaction channel, this was an awesome and funny reaction. I freaking love you guys lol
Being a person who,for years.. have bred many species of tarantulas and true spiders.. I love this movie.
They mentioned one of the spiders being like a worker bee, so my early assumption would be that the spider that was imported in the coffin is some sort of queen, hence the poisonous hybrids/offspring.
No hybrids. They literally say at the beginning when its under the scope that the spiders do not have reproductive organs so it doesnt mate. All offspring is full blooded.
Asexual reproduction.
We watxhed this as soon as it came out on video. My daughter was a couple of weeks old (born may 1991) she was laying on my husband's lap. One if the jump scares my daughter was launched several feet in the air because my husband jumped and screamed so hard. Baby was fine. She is all grown with her own offspring now. Also she hates spiders too...
5:00 I could be wrong, but I don't remember Sam ever screaming a classic horror scream like I did at this point!! :D / Interesting, I looked over on Rotten Tomatoes.....and the critics rate it at 93%....and the audience score is 53%! I figured with a horror movie, it would be the other way around! / This reaction totally delivered!!! Was fun seeing Sam affectionately tease TBR the whole time! / I know William Shatner was in a similar - but probably nowhere near as good - movie, "Kingdom Of The Spiders"./ John Goodman is in "Raising Arizona", I know that movie is in your future eventually, I can't wait for you to see that. (He's also fantastic in the David Byrne movie "True Stories", a crazy 80s movie!)
Mad Magazine titled their parody of Arachnophobia as: "A Knack For Phobias"
Nice, thanks for doing this one!
This was a fun reaction to watch. My friends and I saw this at the theater, and as you can imagine, everyone in the theater was literally screaming throughout the whole thing - me included!!
This film is halloween gold!!! Most underrated scary move by far!
I remember watching this as a child, probably around 7 or 8 and it scared me so much I made my brother switch it off lol took years to watch it again. The beginning always gets me.
I love watching this movie with people who hate spiders lol 😂 this reaction definitely didn’t disappoint!
I've been waiting for someone to react to this one! I saw this when I was 9. And my dad thought it would be hilarious to use a feather to tickle the back of my neck during the scene when the spiders were swarming through the house. I thought it was a spider and I screamed so loud that my throat was sore for days.
As an arachnophobe who lives in the Irish countryside (which is full of house spiders), this movie always gives me cold sweats. That said, it’s also a terrific and underrated movie. Jeff Daniels really sells it 👍🏻🕷
I remember this movie was marketed as "The worlds first thrill-omedy". I've always loved it.
6:05 That reminds me of about 7 years ago. We moved to South America. One night, I felt something under the blanket on my right ankle. I was half asleep so I sort of moved my leg. And I felt it zing me. It wasn't that painful though so I went back to sleep. In the morning, I could see the fang marks where the spider had bitten me. Over the following 3 to 4 weeks, a red circle grew out of the spider bite. It eventually faded and went away. I later saw the type of spider that had bitten me. It was about 3" in diameter.
I'm a very light sleeper, so I probably wouldn't even be asleep if I was in a weird place like that (I never sleep on camping trips). If I was somehow asleep for a few hours, I would jump out of my skin if something brushed past me (and in this movie, it'd probably get me bit).
saw this movie first when I was child..super scary back then and definitely one of my all time favourites
for that reason when it comes to horror genre.
glad to see your reaction to it :)
Well guys, even watching your reaction made my skin crawl xD This is the movie that does NOT need a remake!
You're a John Goodman fan, you should react to 'Fallen,' with him and Denzel Washington. It's also in keeping with the Halloween season.
He was in Fallen? Great movie, but I don't remember him in it...just Denzel, and the song.
Pretty sure I've got arachnophobia and after witnessing the death in bed scene, I honestly could not sleep properly without looking around my bed properly, and also wrapping in the covers for at least 1-2 years. Kingdom of the Spiders from 1977 was one of those few movies that was so terrifying you could NOT look away from!
First time seeing this flick and I'm SO glad I did it with you two! Hilarious reactions!!! (clutches chest, lol)
I rarely see this film being mentioned so im glad you guys watched it, its such a unique film and a right banger lol it was terrifying watching this as a child.
Your reaction to this, like Jeff Daniels' performance, was all too relatable. Spiders are my eternal enemy, ecologically beneficial or not. I read somewhere that they did use real spiders for this - some type of harmless Australian spider, though I suspect Aussies play fast and loose with the word "harmless". Brought them in by the hundreds and herded them around with fans and stuff. So yeah. If I were an actor, I would've taken one look at this script and given a resounding "Hell to the no".
Come on humans! You are not afraid of us arachnids, your fear comes from a sutile red spider who walks around when you sleep naively across 4D.
"YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!!" The doctor always reminds of that voice.
"Its more scared of us than we are of it" im pretty sure a spider came up with that
Good movie to face your fears!
Seeing TBR jumping and on the defensive the whole time was so funny. And Samantha just like "are you ok" giggling. I laughed a lot on this reaction.
Funny that I saw this movie in the cinemas back in the day and it didn't freak me out and I'm not the fan of spiders either. The movie is great, the way they mixed puppet spiders with real ones was really well done.
And now share my experience with a similar "spiders all over the place" like in the movie, although in this case it was just three.
When I was younger I used to go on vacations to my Grandmother's house in the north of Portugal. It's a two story house and usually we sleep in one of the rooms in the top floor, but that summer we slept in the bottom floor bed room, can't remember the reason why.
Well, one night we were just minding our business reading some books before going to sleep and notice a spider on the wall, coming behind the furniture, I mean... A big sucker for that part of world lol. It was the size of post-it note, hairy body, thick legs. My brother gets the Raid can and sprays it a bit. It doesn't die. He sprays some more, nope, still going. He sprays so much on it the spider was white and still running around, until we just smack her with a shoe.
Then we notice another one, same size, in another part of the room and when we were taking care of that one, we look at the ceiling a third one starts coming out, in a crack between the ceiling and the wall. I mean, at that point we were totally in Aracnophobia mode. We never catched the spider that was in the ceiling. We didn't slept much that night.
One thing that Arachnophobia does really well is it Blends comedy and fear so well. It also made the tarantula become a celebrity.
Love how sassy the Mr. gets through this whole reaction lol.
I've always loved this movie. Thank you for the entertaining reaction. I look when I go to the bathroom too and before I put my foot on my shoe. Pretty sure that came from watching this movie when I was 10 LOL
RIP Julian Sands. He was such a good actor.
Great reaction as always and thank you for letting us join in on you conquering your biggest fear! For some further movie therapy, please consider Kingdom of Spiders (1977) with Captain James T. Kirk himself, William Shatner. It´s awesome, creepy entertainment!
So in the beginning they weren't killing all the bugs in the trees, they were knocking them out to collect live specimens. The big general spider and the little one they saved weren't talking they were about to mate and produce hybrid spiders that are just as poisonous as it is. I don't know where you live, but this movie was filmed in the town of Cambria, California. A town we live near and vacation all the time. The making of this film is very interesting because they used all real spiders except for a few scenes of the King and Queen that were done with puppet spiders. All of the little spiders were done using super thin wires to direct where the spiders went or how they moved. I loved your reaction to this. Now the big question is, Does Samantha have to deal with the spiders in your house?
"Ahhh, it wasn't talking to the other spider, it was banging it..." possibly the best thing I've heard someone say in a reaction video. I'm not scared by spiders in general, but I'd also run if I saw a huge one or a bunch came at me.
If it makes you guys feel better, the sheriff gets his too. In a deleted scene, a spider snuck into his cop car and bites him on the back. That explains why he's not in the ending of the film.
Best reaction yet; so funny! You two are great and watching half an hour of TBR being uncomfortable was priceless :)
TBR I feel your pain. I'm deathly afraid of spiders and this movie gives me the willies. Yet, I still try to watch this at least once a year around Halloween just for Jeff Daniels and John Goodman who are awesome in this! ...and I'm a glutton for punishment...
I applaud you for sitting through the entire film TBR. Enjoyed Sam’s reaction too. I feel this way about snakes.
Looks like you have something in common with Indiana Jones.
@@anzaeria why did it have to be snakes @anzaeria, why snakes
Jock. That’s my pet snake Reggie!
dAMMIT you both made me jump at the cricket jump scare scene.
Let me say this: Arachnophobia was a constant movie on tv here in Brazil in the 90s, and I have grown up watching it. I'm not afraid of spiders, but I have always checked inside my shoes since the first time I watched this, over 25 years ago. So yes, it's kind of a helpful movie for your life to say the least lol
It's hilarious watching this movie as an adult with all the wild life education I've gotten throughout the years lol.
Fun fact, the soldier spiders seen through most of the film were Avondale spiders and are a completely harmless species, they were used due to their intimidating size and were relatively easy to coax into doing what the filmmakers wanted them to do.
I don’t have arachnophobia but my dad does and it’s definitely funny to watch him get all jumpy whenever we watch any spider horror movies.
as a former south african biology student we were once in the bush (Wenen game reserve in northern KZN) studying insect populations.... i'll never forget the look on all the other students faces and the Professor when I stopped whilst walking through shrubs...i was holding a measuring stick and they all stared at me...cradled around my hand was a massive golden orb spider who clearly thought it was a great resting place... didn't get bitten...and just brushed it off... wakes you up though...haha
The scene where the professor flicks the web in the barn was a trick by the General. The professor was looking up into the loft above, and when he flicked the web, he thought the General would spun down, but the General tricked him by attacking him from the side, something the professor didn't see coming.
Still what kind of plan was that?
This was hands down the best video you guys have done. I was laughing more at your reactions than anything else.
LMAO, all the "Maybe they wont be so bad" talk... Made me smile.
FYI, most hybrids get stronger and deadlier... Not the other way around lol.
Great reaction.
The cheering for the death of the husband... is probably one of the best things I have ever seen
This was the perfect missed opportunity for Sam to tickle the back of TBR's neck during a movie.
For 22 years Ive thought of this movie anytime I reached my hand into a box of cereal or other snack.
Reaction was as I was hoping it would be. Saw this in theatre when I was 12 - loved it then and it's aged beautifully - like a fine wine...
You guys are fantastic, stay safe and keep up the good work 👍
