Fleischer Cartoon - The Cobweb Hotel 

This truly frightened me as a child, I had it on VHS with a lot of other old cartoons, the spiders voice is creepy

This brought back memories that I thought I didn't even have any more. Damn.

Never thought I'd ever root for flies in any context!

that spider would make an awesome video game boss.

This creeped me out when I was 5 and it still gives me the creeps years later.

This cartoon literally disturbs me so much o,o

Did anybody notice the spider had only six legs? Considering most cartoon hands have only three fingers and a thumb this makes sense.

Isso me traumatizou quando tinha 3 anos não conseguia nem dormir 😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dam !! Ieft hook rite in the memories 😪

What I thought was a restoration error was that the "original" title card had the "Adolph Zukor presents" byline, but not this one.

There's the old cartoon that I remember where a old woman let her bird go out of its cage and this very scary cat chased it. And no it wasn't Sylvester and tweety.

"newhh customehrrss hhhrree" lol

Old is the best ❤️

What old cartoon had two mice or something getting stuck in a bottle trying not tp be swallowed ?? I cant really rember it anymore

I saw this on Creepy on Reddit

This is fucking scary lol and that looks nothing like a spider lol

yeah jack mercer did good job on voice

3:34...OH MY........O_______O! THAT WAS SIMPLY DISTURBING.....OH MY GOSH!!!!!! This in rel life is just Horrific!!!!!!!!

Same here.

cara como eu tinha medo disso quando era pequena

XD i love when he gets K.O.ed by the type writer

LOL!

This Halloween cartoon is similar to the Mickey Mouse short "Haunted House".

I seen this cartoon before.

I hate spiders!

remember cuphead

I always thought this cartoon was hella creepy when I was younger. To this day I still get creepy flashbacks of it lol

This cartoon used to haunt my dreams. I think it scarred me for life. Just like so many other messed up cartoons. It seems like people were intentionally trying to permanently damage children.

This is probably the oldest cartoon I've seen that shows a female character being heroic in the face of danger. I'm impressed, Mr. Fleischer.

And suddenly my lifelong fear of spiders makes perfect sense. Still ... best cartoons ever.

Well disturbing or not you can't deny how genius the animation was for it's time

Ahh this brings back memories! ...terrifying ones. This thing scared me to no end when I was a kid. Finally found it again!

Low and behold. The foundation of my severe arachnophobia, that developed as a little child, due primarily to this cartoon..

آه يا قلبي ذكريااااااات 😭❤️

I never thought I'd see this cartoon again. This is awesome!

HOLYSHIT! I had this on tape with a few other really old cartoons when i was a kid. I just thought about it out of the blue and decided to google "fly spider fight vintage cartoon," not thinking I would actually get results. Brilliant!

This cartoon didn't scare me when I was a kid but now it's horrifying. Seriously, it's creepy as shit. What gives?

one day my dad bought me a cheap dvd with Felix the cat and a bunch of misc cartoons like this on it. there was one with a bunch of random gnomes and rainbows and shit. one day he muted it and did a voice over. I laughed so goddamn hard. before my dad was an alcoholic I liked living with him, I think. I don't really remember. now I'm drunk. genetics? heredity? nature? nurture? idk, u don't care, and if u do care idc. this is nice, it's like RU-vid is my depressing journal. anyway, great cartoon.yeah.

It would be great if one of the archival institutions restored this classic to pristine condition. The art work is so good and lush, and the desk as hotel is so beautifully realized, but the voice characterization (and his song) of the web slinging singing spider puts it over the top. This cartoon really stays with you, rattling around in the recesses of memory and unconscious fears. I am a little prejudiced because insect cartoons are one of my favorite genres.

spend the night at the cobweb hotel you'll find that the service is swell now you needn't be shy, i won't harm a fly spend the night at the Cobweb Hotel come into my parlor please do in a while, all your cares will be through there'll be no rent to pay , cause you'll be here to stay spend the night at the cobweb hotel

Ive been looking for this for ages my mum brought me this on one of those old vhs tapes when i was around 5 all i remember is being traumatised by some spider. memories

This is THE creepiest cartoon I have ever seen!

Anyone know what the VHS was called. I used to love watching this as a kid. I'm tryna find the whole film on RU-vid but I forgot what the VHS was called.

OMG I REMEMBER THIS WHEN I WAS A KID

This is why we have tripadvisor.

Watched this so many times growing up :D

Gosh this is so disturbing too watch I had a casper tape with this cartoon on it and I would fast forward it all the time. That spider reminds me of a pedophile looking at it now

This brought back so many memories... I remember how much this scared me xD haha

Omg I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THIS AS A KID AND WAS CREEPED OUT aaaAAHHHhhhhh

I saw this translated into Dutch, and the spider was incredibly creepy. But watching this, I would have been terrified of the English version, that voice is just so messed up.

I had this on VHS too. Never thought I'd see it again. Nice

Spend a night NYEHHH!

I like that little tough guy fly. Puttin' his dukes up.

the spider reminds me of HH Holmes.

As a kid always being scared of spiders I absolutely hated this!

This cartoon and "Small Fry" are my 2 favorite Fleischer Cartoons. If you never saw "Small Fry" search it out on youtube. It's another classic! :)

I love old cartoons like this and this one was always one of my favorites. What ever happened to creativity like this? It should make a comeback.

I remember seeing this cartoon at the beginning of the movie Night of the Demons. It's on the TV when her date comes to pick her up. lol I guess it's an appropriately creepy cartoon for a horror movie. I always wanted to see it in full. I only caught a glimpse where they peek through the hole and see the neighbor stuck to his bed.

This scared the shit out of me when I was little

🤗always loved the spiders voice.

holy cow I think I saw this when I Was a toddler.

والله جد ذكريااااااااات

Why people thinks that's a bad cartoon? Kinda creepy i must accept but am i the only one who always watched and wanted the spider to kill the flies?

حلو قديم

جابوه في التلفزيون السعودي

Anybody know what the song he sings is a parody of? I recently heard the tune on a merry go round.

I remember watching this when I was little! Ah, the memories :D

this is 1936, before World War II and there is a 3D camera pull back in the opening scene. WOW

Cracks me up spiders are villains in cartoons despite them literally getting rid of pests that spread disease to us humans. I don't hate flies, but they are gross lol. I like spiders.

OMG. I use to watch this all the time on VHS. In fact I think I still have this. Lol. Good times...Goood times!

This cartoon was the reason for a pretty bad reoccurring nightmare through tout my child hood. I was hesitant to watch it before bed even tonight!

he only has 6 legs , so he must have broken two of them before hahaha

I own this on a dvd compiliation and your version sounds much better and clearer. It sounds so garbled and warbly and echoey on any other version Ive heard

Imagine the lawyer who works at that desk coming back from his week vacation, who knows maybe he watched his daughter get married or maybe he had just finished a really tough case and had to go out camping in the woods to find himself again, and he comes back to that mess! Cobwebs, Ink, pen points, safety pins and Asprin all over the damn place!

This cartoon used to scare me silly as a little girl !!! I was just telling my landlord about it a couple days ago. The other one that scared me a lot were the Goons on Goon Island on the old Popeye cartoons. Alice the Goon..... UGH!!! And you know what? They STILL do!

This cartoon was on an old Casper VHS I used to watch when I was younger. Creeped me out, and I've been trying to remember what it was called for a while now...well, I've found it. Still creepy. It's one of those that really sticks with you.

As a child i remember watching this and many others like it on a VHS. I NEED, i mean NEED to find this VHS, this shaped me as a child and are very scary to me today! Is anyone familiar with a tape like this? it was like 50 classic cartoons

Oh man, I remember this cartoon terrified me as a kid! I could still remember those flies screams of terror. -_-

This stuff is disturbing yo

At last, I found it! my scariest childhood. I've been searching what was the carton that captures flies. AT LAST! yea im 12 I've watched this when I was like 5 or 6

"Spend a night at the cobweb hotel youl find than the service is swell transferred now you needn't be shy I won't harm a fly spend a night at the concern hotel

I'm only 17 and I remember seeing this before a movie on a video tape I had (can't remember which movie though) and it terrified me, still does now :(

My god this cartoon terrified! Me! as a childe😱😰😱😰

Remember seeing this one as a kid in the 60's, these old cartoons were first run as previews to movies when they first came out....

Like the movie The Fly.. Please don't eat me, help me lol

AWESOME! omg I can't even tell how much I appreciate your hard work putting these up for us to enjoy thank you!!!!!

I really was rooting for the spider to at least eat the wife when I was 6 or 7, I still do

classic, i remember this! i hated that spider! lol

Been looking for this video for years! Used to watch these when I was young. Thanks for posting them.

scusate,si trovano in un sito,x sapere quanti e quali sono di preciso usciti,grazie..

I used to love this as kid and thought nothing of it at the time but watching it now 25 years later it's one of the creepiest things I've ever seen, leaves me with a weird feeling, I can still respect and appreciate all these old cartoons though.

So... this was supposed to be scary? Screw you /x/. Fun watch though, I'd give it a 8/10.

you forget the part where he willingly goes to a cobweb hotel lol

Wouldn't the flies see and hear the other trapped flies on the way up to their "room"?

eu via essa porra quando era pequeno, pq será que eu tenho medo de aranha

Me too! I am uncomfortable watching it. it gave me nightmares when i was a kid lol

li stavo cercando questi cartoni,..mi ricordo di averli visti, anni fa..

haha me too man me too.. probably why I'm scared of spiders

Who do you people think is creepier? This Spider or the Pincushion Man?
