spiders?

OK this may well be the most ridiculous thing to be concerned about when considering exploiation, but here goes...

Nothing "scares" me about these films, I just think theyre great, however, being a ridiculous arachnophobiac (sp?!) I found the most terrifying thing about both cannibal ferox and cannibal holocaust the brief scenes of spiders...

So, to the conisuers of this genre, i ask this question, does "eaten alive" have spiders in it? Does "jungle holocaust" have any?

I know im ridiculous, impalement and turtle-gutting dont bother me, but their creepy little legs give me nightmares...and n0t in a good way

thanks in advance..

I hate spiders too, haven't seen Jungle Holocaust yet, but in Eaten Alive there are no spiders.

Bit late to reply - but Jungle Holocaust doesn't have spiders, but it does have ants.

It's better to rest in the warm body of a friend, than in a cold hole in the ground.

No spiders. From what I remember, Cannibal Holocaust is the only 'notorious' cannibal movie that has a spider in it, but it gets hacked in half by one of the crew members.

Definitely not ridiculous and I've thought posting the same question because spiders are my biggest concern when seeking out Cannibal type films as well.

Everything else is game!

I was disappointed to not see any freaking spiders!

Cannibal Holocaust does, I recall Cannibal Ferox does and I'm fairly certain Mountain of the Cannibal God does. I don't remember if Man from Deep River, Jungle Holocaust or Massacre at Dinosaur Valley do, though.

And I'm the same - well, I don't mind SPIDERS as such, but TARANTULAS? No thank you. There was one in an episode of Friday the 13th I watched last night and I had to watch some Russ Meyer to calm down.
