Which one would win in a spider vs spider match?

hmmm, tough choice as they're both tarantulas, but I'd go with the one from Earth VS the Spider just because it caused more damage. The one from Tarantula was spookier though (those night time shots of it looming on the hills were creepy).

Yeah!The Spider in EvS had a creepy shriek, so definitely a major creep factor there! BOTH Spiders in both movies were creepy...which made them both good!!

Earth vs Spider was silly. The giant spider web that was obviously rope (and not sticky). Tarantula was far superior!

I think the tarantula in Tarantula was twice as large as the Spider, so advantage Tarantula.

Hank Patterson was in both of them!

While TARANTULA is clearly the more polished film, EARTH VS THE SPIDER I always found creepier somehow.
