Another wacky AIP science fiction offering that stars Kemmer as a high school biology teacher who takes a giant spider supposedly killed by the police and brings it to school to display in the gymnasium. When the rock 'n' roll band practicing for the prom cranks up their amplifiers, the loud music wakes the spider up and it begins terrorizing the small town, stepping on numerous miniature houses and cars. After sucking the life out of many teenagers, the spider is eventually killed when the enterprising Kemmer attaches a live power line to its web and fries it. This stunning climax was borrowed by THE BRAIN EATERS, and both films turned up together on a double-bill upon release.
