Theatrical trailer
As even greater numbers of the helpless animals meet their deaths it is discovered that hundreds of tarantulas occupy the farm land. This is strange indeed! Tarantulas don't live in colonies…or do they? An attractive entomologist (Tiffany Bolling) is called to the dusty little Arizona town to explain the sudden arrival of the spiders and their usual behavior. But is it too late? Time seems to be running out as the new species of eight-legged freaks now number in the thousands. The spiders are everywhere—and man is their prey!
Pre-order Kingdom of the Spiders.

Recently watched the William shatner movie kingdom of the spider, which apparently spent 10% of its budget on live tarantulas

Chris: I last recall seeing the Kingdom of Spiders a very long time ago and this time I saw it hosted by Svengoolie, not a good film despite William Shatner as the lead, great incidental stock music, weak plot and the main problem is abuse to spiders, how many spiders were killed to make this film, it’s a bloody spider abuse film, and real deaths of any kind for a fictional film is an insult to life, so Avoid.
Richie: The plot didn’t make sense for this one, it looked like they were actually killing tarantulas for this, I don’t ever need to see this one again, Avoid.
