    The movie that actually fucked me up for a bit as a kid was some black and white movie about spiders that took over a small town. I don’t remember a single thing about the movie, other than crates/the town absolutely covered in webs and people getting wrapped up like bugs.

      Was it one big spider? If so there are several.

      If it wasn’t in black and white there’s a few other options

        I don’t recall if there was a massive spider, but I checked out that trailer and it didn’t look super familiar. Pretty sure it was in black and white, but I could be wrong. I just have a vivid memory of the crates covered in spiders/webs, and it may have been the crate that brought the spider there. Also people wrapped up in cocoons ready to be eaten/already drained.

          Could it be Eight Legged Freaks? It’s not black and white but most of the action does take place at night. Giant spiders taking over a small American town, stuff covered in webs, and people in cocoons being eaten/drained.

            Pretty sure 8 legged freaks is too new to be the movie I’m thinking of, it probably wouldn’t have been on ota TV in the late 90s/early 00s.

      “Tarantula” and “Earth vs the Spider” come to mind, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen them. Both have the small-town thing going for them, if I’m remembering correctly!
