Filmed alternate ending
I remember in the days of creature double feature here in boston every saturday for 4 hours was a AIP Dream come true. I remember seeing two versions of THE SPIDER, it's working title back then before it was changed. It's the ending sequence when the spider falls to its death at the bottom of the cave.....he is pierced by the rocks and the camera pans closer and in place of the spiders head is a skull. I read that AIP thought this was a more scary ending, but I have never seen this in print on vhs or dvd...I know I'm not dreaming...this is the version they always showed here on WLVI 56 Boston on Creature Double Feature from the early 70's to the mid 80's before it was cancelled.
