8 Reasons to LOVE Eight Legged Freaks

- Eight Legged Freaks is a movie most people won't know about unless you were born before 2002. I'm here to change that, and also because this movie won the last Basement Brawl (check my live streams)

This is one of those films that you never watch at night but laugh the hell out of during the day
Exactly!!! 😭
Is it cheesy? Yes.
Do I love it for it? Absolutely.
I’m glad it got a Blu-Ray and now is preserved in HD.
It’s been one of my favorite films ever since I was little because the movie isn’t afraid to be itself.
It just goes for it.
It walks that line of playing it straight while also making comedic like of the absurdity of giant spiders.
I’ve been disappointed by all other giant spider movies because they can’t compete with the best.
I appreciate the review and I hope it gets memorized as a monster movie classic.
Fun Fact: The original movie title was “Arac Attack” but when the line “Eight Legged Freaks” was improvised, the creators made the name.
I'm tempted by it
@@Howesenberg Yo bro can you shout me out when you get famous? I mean your content is amazing and I know you are going to go all the way up as the best movie/tv show summarizer and reviewer ever.
I'm 15 and I fucking love that movie. It's awesomeness transcends generations, plus, my mother hates spiders and watches it often.
That's awesome to hear
I LOVED this movie when I was a kid.
Its so corny, and I love it.
i watched this as a kid on VHS, it gave me chills but i loved it cause it was funny as fuck.
Remember watching this movie in 2020 and it was entertaining even better , I was just disturbing to me when grandpa dies and the whole spider shop is destroyed filled with cobwebs , this movie is really something you should watch just for entertainment
The trap door spiders did their job when I was kid and cemented my fear of spiders
The idea of the giant EIGHT legged monster just swooping up and snatches something like lightning just gave me chills for years and years.
It baffles me how this channel doesn’t have 100k subscribers already, with the amount of effort he puts into his videos and the jokes he deserves well over 100k
I'm almost there! Regardless I'm just happy to see people enjoying what I do and supporting me with nice comments like this.
Much appreciated!
Throwing shade at Batman was much needed thank you! 😂
My dad had this on VHS when I was a kid, it then became my favourite movie growing up, me and my mates would watch it at least once a month! Wow what a classic!
I have more than 8 reasons to love this video
Shucks Mr
Having only just found your channel through your newest Lost video (soon to be plural) it's always nice to see somebody revisiting the B-movie classics of the early 00's. And I have a #8 reason for people to love this movie:
#8 The theme music for the tarantula is "Itsy Bitsy Spider" played slower and deeper. Hilarious, cheesy, and a great way to spend a Friday night with my dad and brother.
Howesenberg Films, we have been enjoying your content very much. You are very close to the 100K Subscriber mark. I sincerely hope you make it to not just 100K Subscribers, but 1M subscribers soon. Keep on the awesome work!
Thank you very much, I'm trying hard to get there, we'll see what happens!
I just found you from your walking dead videos. To imagine you had one on Eight Legged Freaks and Evolution is insane. Absolutely awesome work editing/reviewing.
Thanks very much!
Howsenburg is the goat of watching a movie or show and getting hilarious commentary as well as the plot in a shortened version
Although I will say I would appreciate you giving off a little more of the story so we can have a nice little nostalgic video of a movie that was played way too much on late night tv as kids
This and Evolution are great flicks to watch on sunday afternoon
3:42 as a kid for some reason i always heard this spider shouting "Sacrebleu!" and I can never unhear it now
I literally just watched this today because HBO recommended it and I hadn’t seen it since I was 12 and it came out. I couldn’t agree with you more about your take on the movie
Bro is covering peak after peak and I love this channel
Thanks!
I used to watch this movie alot as a young child (5 or 6) at my babysitters house. Was born in 2000 and loved horror movies as a kid until I seen The Boogeyman and was scared of the dark until I was a teenager. I'm okay now. Also, would absolutely love a video on Ready to Rumble. Will become a full time basement buddy once I get my new job!
I was born in 2002 and I loved this movie. Didn't even realise it was Scarlet Johansson in this movie though.
I loved this movie back in the day. Glad to see you make a video on it.
I love this movie and I hate spiders. I used to watch it on cable tv, weekends in the afternoon, when I was a kid (aproximately 2003/2004). I also saw Arachnophobia on that same channel when I was a kid and I shouldn't have
Saw it in theaters and owned the DVD
This is one of the movies that inspired my love for spiders. And B-movies in general.
Despite the silly premise, it's such a fun ride.
Cheers for bringing some light to it, it's such a classic mid 2000s flick.
This is still a great b horror film it’s the perfect balance of cheesy and horror
I used to love this movie so much, I think its what scared me of spiders to this day. Even tho I was a 2005 kid I managed to watch and love this movie. I still remember the first time I watched it, i was more scared of the small spiders in the spider farm scene thing.
I'm 4 years old and I love that movie
Another great video man, just wanted to bring up David Arquette is Dewey in the Scream films, so he does have that one big role.
This deserves so much more views and attention
I'm a simple guy, I hear funny British man, I hit like.
I love legs
Is 8 too many?
@@Howesenberg sounds like my kind of women.
1:18
Nice one
It's one of my favorite movies of all time
I watched eight legged freaks as a kid and thats most of the reason why im scared of spiders
Funny enough, I have seen that movie in the late 2000s here in Germany. One of my all-time favorites because of how cool it is, but holy hell it certainly was horrifying as a young fella.
The part I didn't like was the spiders crawling all over Joshua
@@Howesenberg Oh for sure. The scenes in the cave when they stumble upon the victims all webbed up... Spooky as hell!
This gives major gremlins vibes
Ooo gremlins, now that would be a good film series to cover
@@Howesenberg It's a personal favorite
As someone who owns a bunch of tarantulas, they aren't monsters in real life.
Frank Welkers voiced the spiders?!
Yup
My dad loved this movie and I watched with him when I was like 5
Good memories
so i havent seen it in 2002 cause i was born that year but i will go watch now
Idk why this popped up for me but thank you , I needed to hear this cuss this was one of my favorite movies growing up 😂 and nobody talks about it
I too grew up with it, so thought it would make a good video.
I only know about this movie because it came out on amc one day I think back in 07 and ever since then if possible I try to watch it
8:46 lol itsy bitsy spider
That movie gave me arachnophobia as i think of it now.
this movie was a classic as a kid, i used to bring it over to my mates house every time we slept over
This… this is cinema
I seen the movie when I was four and I loved it
This movie gave me nightmares as a kid
This movie is still entertaining tho I have a strong fear of spiders but I use to binge this movie as a kid and still watch it it’s not the best or perfect but it does what you say it does it entertains I still love the jumping spider scene
Loved this movie and Joe's apartment as a kid.
Have you thought about doing The Adventures of Pete & Pete or Eerie, Indiana?
I feel like your tone and deadpan humor are perfect for these, especially after watching your Malcolm videos.
Man, I hated this movie as a kid and probably still do . I freaking hate spiders
watched it again couple of months ago....
There is a great setpiece in Dead Island 2 you would like.
I don’t like spiders but I may give it a try
Many spiders die in this movie, so that's something you could look forward to seeing
Was anyone who made this involved with making or producing Evolution? In my memory both films came out around the same time and both leaned into a similar ironic throwback monster movie comedy horror vibe
Funnily enough Evolution was one of the first movies I covered on this channel. I picked to watch it for the same vibe reason you mentioned.
I LOVED this movie so fucking much since I was little, mainly cause I love spiders XD
Its just like cocaine bear, which I just saw with my grandpa
Just a normal day in Australia
Ha ha. Great review!
And yes, I agree so many movies are far too long now.
Grew up on this and tremors
i watched this when i was 5 or 6 years old and this is the reason why i have arachnophobia till to this day hahhaah
also I have a fear of spiders. shit.
I own this movie and am proud of it. A good laugh
5:05 it starts with one thing...
Oh man you would love Tremors
I do love Tremors!
Would you consider reviewing or ranking House MD, maybe one or two seasons?
I was alive in 2002 but not aware.
But he was in scream 5? That was a pretty big and decent movie
I love this movie. but here in germany it's called arack attack xD
I noticed that on some of the international DVD covers. Maybe for marketing purposes it didn't translate as a catchy title for German audiences?
Could you plleeasseee do an 'Every Episode of The Americans?' That show is amazing
Sounds interesting, I would at least consider watching it
@@Howesenberg If you like anything revolving around the 80s or the Cold War, you'll love it. I don't wanna hype it up too much haha
When i was young i had nightmares aboyt this movie xD
this movie is the reason i developed arachnophobia
That was the kid from T2: Judgement Day…… and fyi, that is NOT how to make jambalaya. Js.
This movie looks good but Ive been waiting for s2 walking dead review lol. Hope its soon
