ARACHNOPHOBIA (1990) FIRST TIME WATCHING - MOVIE REACTION! JUMPY! 

We hope you enjoy this Reaction Video. It’s a very strong film. Ideal for that family, jumpy-scare vibe. It certainly is more suspenseful if you have a phobia of spiders like Dad! It's very well made, masterful cinematography, direction, writing, sound and performances. We hope you enjoy our reactions where Dad hates spiders and Son loves them!

Son: “It’s not really a horror movie yet” Dad: horrified 😂😂😂

0:50:45 As the spiders are running around Dad is scratching himself all over like he's crawling with them 🤣😆🤣

"Wow such an American looking house... Oh, it's a funeral home." That got me, lol.

"Was this choice from you, anything to do with my fear of spiders?" "Yes." 😎

I love watching reaction channels doing this movie. It's always hilarious. I wasn't expecting dad to be the one who was freaked out by spiders. lol

45:48 is the FUNNIEST reaction I have seen in a while! The itching is hilarious, but that face had me nearly peeing myself! 😂😂😂😂😂

"Now he's got no patients." That was hilarious. Haha.

Going from family friendly PG\PG-13 films to Starship Troopers is pretty insane lol

Dad’s anxiety was palpable and I loved it 🤣. I feel sorry for the next spider he comes across…lol

Fun fact: the small “hybrid” spiders later in the film are real (not venomous). An animal handler used various techniques to humanely redirect them. They even made a special boot for John Goodman to wear so that it wouldn’t actually squish the “actors”.

Lol the way you keep scratching because of this film 😂, i loved this film growing up, one of my favourites 😊

The genre used to be known as ‘Creature Features’! I love ‘em too 😁

I'm laughing at you Dad 😂 I'm only 19 mins in and your reactions is hilarious. Scared much are you? Bless ya...your reactions are only gonna get worse and your son is just taking it all...what a trooper. Okay, I'll watch the rest now haha. Just watched it all and haha Dad you was making me laugh cos I knew how you felt with the itching. The spiders eyes at the end I put my hand in front of my face cos it creeps me out. Spielberg is doing a remake of this - we'll see how it goes, when it comes out. Great reaction guys! Still impressed by your boy, barely flinched.

"Eight Legged Freaks" 2002

"That's right. I'm bad." Fun Fact: The title of the movie refers to the fear of spiders as Arachno means spider in Greek and Phobia means fear. Movie Magic Fact: The animatronic General Spider seen at the film's climax was one of the earliest prop jobs done by Jamie Hyneman, star and co-producer of MythBusters (2003). The dead animals seen on the spider's webs in various scenes, are all fake. Safety Guarantee Fact: The safety of the spiders were paramount throughout the entire production, so for one scene where McLintock (John Goodman) had to spray an arachnid with insecticide, then squash it with his boot, the production went to extreme measures: first, a dummy spider was sprayed. then Goodman donned special boots with a hollowed out sole for the squash shot, so that the spider would just curl up inside and wait for the next take. When dead spiders were needed, the filmmakers used bodies of arachnids that had died of natural causes. Spider Wrangler Fact: The small spiders used in the film were Avondale spiders (Delena Cancerides), a harmless species from New Zealand that were provided by Landcare Research in Auckland. Despite their fierce appearance, this spider is a docile member of the crab-spider family and is, in fact, harmless to humans. They were not allowed back in New Zealand for quarantine reasons. The giant "spider" used in the film was a species of a bird-eating tarantula, which can attain a legspan of eight inches or more. Those types of tarantulas are not easy to handle and can give a nasty bite. The spiders in the film were managed and handled by famed entomologist Steven R. Kutcher.

Tremors is a solid follow-up to this, with more laughs and with nothing in it scarier/bloodier than Jaws.

You poor man you're expressions say it all great reaction guys👍

Spent my childhood killing spiders for my mom, who's quite the arachnophobe. But I've always love spiders, so when I moved out on my own I bought a tarantula that I'm infatuated with.

I don't know if I saw this at the movies or at home on video. But it's a 90s classic, no doubt. The soundtrack came out on the same day as the movie. The song at the end is called Don't Bug Me by the late great Jimmy Buffet. There's another song on the soundtrack called Blue Eyes Are Sensitive to the Light by Sara Hickman. I remember hearing the song on the radio. I don't know what number it hit in the Billboard charts. It is a great song, and that's the one I remember the most. It's one of the songs that people would not remember. It's a forgotten song.

I love that even if you hadn't said in the opening, it was clear from the reaction which one has a fear of spiders. Lol. Great movie :)

Tremors would be a great movie to react to. Perfect ingredients of creatures, comedy and isolation.

I rented this movie all the time as a kid. It's always on my "B"movie list. Starship troopers my vote.

Love this back in the day. Madame Webb is really good. I liked both

Lake placid!!!

Solid pick. Excellent blend of light horror and comedy. Glad to see this one getting more attention these days.

I wasn't sure if dad was going to make it through this one! 😀 I live your son's apparent glee at your discomfort. You both are obviously close and love each other, but there's that thing about people, particularly children, that they delight at times in making friends and family squirm. LOL! This video is worth watching for your (dad's) reactions, alone. Heh. Usually, with more scary movies, it's the child avoiding looking at the screen during tense moments. Fun choice!

It’s horror if you are afraid of spiders which I am because of this movie. Saw it when I was 5 or 6. Last place in the WORLD you will ever find me is Australia. (Shudder)

You guy's really need to watch tremors with Kevin Bacon, very entertaining!!

Great movie choice fellas!

I have never been more uncomfortable watching this movie than watching you two watch it for the first time. What a great reaction.

When I first saw this movie I thought a giant spider was going to come out at the end.

You should watch Eight Legged Freaks, thats more on the comedy side.

I can’t comfortably put my hand on a photo of a spider… and for some reason I saw this movie twice in the theater that summer. My fear of spiders has caused me to be much more informed of the few that can hurt me here in Los Angeles.

I share your aversion to spiders and other creepy crawly things. Even as I boy, I never liked bugs and insects like my friends did. I saw this movie when it first came out and it was really difficult to get through. Never wanted to see it again. But kudos to you for getting through this film! Great reactions as always!!

I'd like to recommend 1985's "House" with William Katt. It's scary, without being gory. Slightly offbeat, and surprisingly funny.

You and your son should react to this movie called ready player One it's about these teenagers who became friends inside a video game just to escape the real world I guarantee your son will enjoy this one and so will you

I'm now about to watch your reaction...you are both brave 😂 I've always loved this film, even have it on dvd...I HATE spiders but love the film until recently. As I've gotten older, it's freaking me out a lot more. I watched someone else's reaction to this film and I had shivers down my spine, itching constantly 😂 So watching your reaction will be fun. Hope this doesn't scar your boy for life 😂 x Oh btw RIP Julian Sands who played British Dr Atherton - he went on a hiking trip last year and had been missing for months. Later his remains were found. Great actor ❤

First time watcher to your channel, and I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed this. Not only is your dynamic simultaneously entertaining and wholesome, it reminds me so much of when i was your son's age, and sharing classic movies like these with my dad, and having nearly identical discussions together before, during, and after. Those memories are among the fondest I have of my childhood with him, and its great to see a bit of that reflected here. Also, I can't recommend for you and your son enough, TREMORS! And Starship Troopers as well, although considering the themes and the over the top Verhovian violence/gore, you'd be forgiven if you waited a bit on that one; your call!

You guy's should watch the Blob (1958) it's a great oldie but good.

The thousands of the little spiders they used for filming were harmless, so the spider on the girl in the shower was real. The big ones were also harmless to humans, a type of tarantula.

I’m with you, dad. I hate spiders! You’ll be happy to know that the spiders they used, although ugly, are completely harmless. 😊

You Brits lost a really good one in Julian Sands , miss that brother RIP

For Giant Spiders, I'd recommend Eight Legged Freaks, it's a B movie 1950s-type sci-fi flick with modern-day special effects.

The first time I watched this movie, I got so creeped out. The dad reacting reminds me so much of how I reacted. Please do watch Tremors!

I'd love to see you guys react to another Spielberg film, my favourite horror film actually ... Poltergeist!

As an Australian all I can say is, "Crikey, mate!" Considering the reliability and availability of anti-venom treatment I would much rather see a Sydney Funnel Web spider giving me a love bite than a Great White giving me a menacing glare. If a poisonous spider that hunts insects smaller than itself bites you then as a human if you put a pressure bandage on the wound you have about 12 hours to get yourself to a hospital. If a Great White bites your arm or leg then you have about 20 seconds to wonder about how strong the arterial pressure flow is before you lose consciousness.

Loved this reaction even though have a phobia of spiders myself even watched slugs later on in teen years but that is an 18 so you cannot react to that but after watching your wargames reaction would be great if you could react to another Dabney Coleman movie short time it is quite funny from 1990. R.I.P Dabney.

The original Jumanji would be a fun watch along!

Great reaction 🎉😂🕸️

Looks like you guys got some sun recently ☀

Have you guys commented on the first Jurassic Park movie? If the youngster wants dangerous animals, I think that qualifies. Love your channel, btw.

It’s official, itching is contagious

Films you'll like - Masters of the Universe, Krull, Labyrinth, Clash of the titans (1981), Lake Placid, Mighty Joe Young, Tremors, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and sequel Honey I Blew Up The Kid.

The only bad thing about this channel is that the reaction ends and we have to wait for the next! Great movie education so far, keep it going 🙂 Here's some suggestions for the future: 101 Dalmatians (Jeff Daniels); 102 Dalmatians; National Treasure 1 and 2; Free Willy; Kindergarten Cop; The guardian; The Mummy 1 and 2; Zorro 1 and 2; all Indiana Jones; True Lies; The Abyss; and many animations from disney/pixar/dreamworks are worth it too 🙂

Great choice 🙌🏻👍🏻😎 Classic movie 🕸️🕷️ Recommend The ghost in the darkness 🦁🦁 Feel all itchy now 😫 Not going to sleep tonight 🤭 🇬🇧⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

behind the scenes all the small spiders are real spiders except the ones that get killed are fake as well as both 2 Big Spiders the General and Queen are both animatronic spiders throughout the entire movie. Supposedly the General Spider was so real looking that Jeff Daniels had problems in Real Life shooting scenes as the Director and crew never told anyone on set that the Big ones were Fake, making Fear real on the set "smart choice as it delivers well on scene". Only small blooper is that Big Spider Webs are always built by smaller spiders as reason such a massive web is to catch more and feed which the webs are weaker as where a Larger spider will focus on a smaller Stronger Web for a Bigger catch. Fun Fact for you: Spiders don't kill anything twice their size for food unless they have to as food is short (given the webs with large catch prey isn't realistic) as they will defend their grounds at any means taking down large prey but only as straight on attack. Plus, all spiders have very poor eyesight, so for the little spiders seeing people and moving to their body language is purely fake non-sense. Now on the other hand Prey-mantis are known for taking down prey 3times there body size for food making them the strongest insects on the planet. One of the Deadliest Spider in the United States is the Black or Red Widow as it only takes 30secs for its poison to take effect, it is said a Black Widow can take down an adult elephant with one-bit Tell's you how strong the poison is. Didn't like John Goodman stepping on the spider do you know how many insects you step on a day in Real Life that you never think about, thousands!!! Thats Life fit of the Strongest.

_Eight Legged Freaks_ is another horror comedy about mutant spiders. It's more fun than this film, so I think you guys would enjoy it.

I enjoyed the movie when it was in the theater, told my brother, he took his family to see, they were camping in the woods at the time.😂🤣 The big spiders were both a mechanical version, and the bird eating Tarantula. They used hair dryers hot air to direct the spiders' movements. # Without a Clue ( Michael Cain, Ben Kingsley) Sherlock Holmes movie with a twist, and # Radioland Murders, murder mystery comedy I think you will enjoy both movies # Kelly's Hero's a WW2 movie starring Clint Eastwood.

I'm with son on this. I owned 6 tarantulas for over 17 years. I'd hold them and let them walk on my arm. Giant, sweet, girl spiders. C'mon dad, man up and hold a little spider

Quickly a few more informations to the making of this movie: YES, they in fact use real spiders! A very special kind of species, very intelligent and as well fundamentally trainable, BUT not dangerous at all. One of many tricks the "animal-trainer" use to lead and control the spiders (single spiders as well as the whole bunch), for example when they should look or have to crawl in certain directions (for the camera) is the fact of using mobile hairdryers (with only very very light heat). For more, just have a look on RU-vid... There are several documentaries to the making of THIS particular movie! // However: I LOVE this movie, even though my fear of spiders is as intense as YOURS, Mr. Dad! Moreover: Love it, watching with you... (and by the way: I'm from Germany ;-)) Keep on sharing such wonderful moments. BEST WISHES TO YOU!

Also suggest 1980s kids films The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal

Both Starship Troopers & 8 Legged Freaks are fun action movies, but the former will be more brutal with the battle scene. Starship directed by the Robocop director, same style, it was surprisingly good story and sci-fi elements.

Y'all should watch Tremors if he likes creature features. 😉

Omg watching you sweat and squirm and struggle through this while your son took it in his stride was so entertaining!!! When i saw this at the cinema i had put my bag under the seat. I didnt want to reach under at the end, and i think my legs were up on the seat the whole time. I was once bailed up on my toilet seat in my bathroom because a spider was between me and the door. After 10 minutes of it not moving i got down to discover it was a ball of fluff! Also the scene where the spiders are all over the ceiling and coming down on webs happened to me too! I ran out the house, walked to shops and got bug spray and had to go back in. Terrifying.

I think you should check out "Congo" sometime.

The spider who loved me !

If your exceptional son is interested in monster movies featuring dangerous animals, I would recommend the "Creature from the Black Lagoon," sir. The creature is amazing looking and very lifelike, and quite scary, although not so much so as to trigger bad dreams or nightmares.

Did we watch a movie or did we witness a new case of arachnophobia develop right before our eyes? 😂

I would wait a couple of years with Starship Troopers.. it is very violent, but mostly it's just very adult in it's themes and very odd, so it takes being a certain age to get it.

I turned 4 when this film came out, and I first saw it when I was around 10 and it pretty much solidified my everlasting paralysing fear of those... things. Anything with eight legs, I can't look at them.

Have you guys watched Jurassic park? If not it’s a must.

You guys definitely need a pet tarantula. They are fun pets.

Until six years ago I was at least as afraid of spiders as you are. For some project I was involved in I had to research spiders, reading many articles and watching many videos featuring spiders. To my astonishment, by the time the research was over I was no longer afraid of spiders. Spiders are deaf, they have no ears, which explains why they might run towards you even though you're screaming at them. They're almost blind, seeing only light and dark, so that scene where the spider seems to watch Ross and Chris intently while they try to trick it in order to catch it in a glass is pure fiction. While I love this film (grew up watching it repeatedly), it's about as accurate about spider behaviour as Jaws is about shark behaviour.

Fun/terrifying fact: all of the spiders (except the giant one) were real! Those are real spiders jumping and falling on the actors. They weren’t venomous obviously, but still scary af.

Tremors would be good. Also a long the line of cheesy horror I recommend Eight Legged Freaks.

Please watch Jumanji or a good true story picture like Erin Brockovich ❤ also, HBOs Chernobyl is wild and very educational as well

Im australian lol from adelaide! Your accent was hilarious! That waitress should have known better lol! Also ive been in the shower and had a spider in my scrubbing brush bristles and washed myself all over with it before it fell out! I just screamed in shock and couldnt move.

I'm with Dad!! I HATE spiders, no matter the size...they scare the bejeezus out of me! "look at the web" No. No way, no how. Not even with a flame thrower.

Heights? There's a fun movie with Sylvester Stallone called Cliffhanger.

I think you guys should watch "jojo rabbit"It's an amazing movie and with such a smart kid I'm shure it would be really interesting.People who watch it usually have a lot of context but I'm curious of kids reaction to the movie from kids point of view.And I think it would be a good introduction to those themes.

OK, in honor of the Flash shirt, you guys absolutely have to watch Flash Gordon (1980). The most entertaining example of sci-fi cheese ever filmed. I liked it better than Star Wars.

It's not really scary, but if your son hasn't seen E.T. it could be a good reaction.

don't mind spiders.. but this film makes me itch like crazy

Absolutely not when it comes down to spiders or bugs. I'm with you dad, I would have burned that barn to the ground once I saw those webs in the beginning. I wouldn't really classify this movie as horror, more thriller and suspense. 🕷🕸

definitely watch Tremors the master class of horror comedy, the kid has great instincts. also check out Twister, I think he'll enjoy that as well.

Hi guys

Have you both watched Snakes on a Plane yet? If the younger man loves spiders, he'll surely love this film!

Yes abso classic scared the hell out of me an my brother at 9 n 10 ,but luckily no phobia of spiders 😂,if yas haven't seen flight of the navigator id recommend, new sub

I'm sittin here wonderin why you and your son seemed a lil "rosier" than usual then I noticed the burn lines 😛... On BOTH of you. 😛 Good vacay? 🙂

Such a fun movie, I've never been afraid of spiders but this movie definitely got me freaked out they do an awesome job! I recommend King Kong, Peter Jackson's film, I think that one is the best

I would go for Eight Legged Freaks as it's more kid friendly cause Starship has nudity.

I hate this movie. When it came out, we went to see it at a drive-in. I spent the whole time scratching and had to keep my window closed so nothing would crawl in. I can control my dislike of spiders now with giving them a good coating of Raid. You guys were very brave. lol

Will you guys be watching movies like the Star Trek ones from The Motion Picture all the through to Star Trek Beyond?

For family friendly horrors try Tremors (1990) a great one for you to watch together. An old hollywood style b grade horror movie. And maybe Creepshow 1982, (a comic book style film with 5 scary stories) and Poltergeist 1982 produced by Spielberg.

This was a great movie, thankyou guys, another movie ur son might like is the fly 1&2, also a good action movie is armageddon, but it is sad.

Oh yes, this movie gives you the itchies.

"Eight Legged Freaks" was funnier and has Scarlett Johansson in it.

When I used to work at Blockbuster Video, people would often ask me to recommend "the scariest movie [we] carried"; they'd brag about watching Exorcist, or Friday the 13th, or Insidious, and how they weren't scared at all. They always looked confused when I walked them AWAY from the 'Horror' section, and over to 'Family/Adventure', and they're reactions were also always the same once I handed them the case for Arachnophobia, "Nope!", or "No-no-no-no-no-no-no!".

Just don't get any ideas of waking up your father by brushing a feather on him after seeing this movie, or anything.
