    The story goes that "Eight-Legged Freaks" is something David Arquette improvised during a take when fighting the spiders, and everyone liked it so much they made it the new title.

      Arac Attack was something George W. Bush improvised when he was eating breakfast and thinking for something to do for the rest of his term. He liked it so much he made it a real thing.

    Eight Legged Freaks is a treasure. Truly, I do miss the popcorn flick that IS a popcorn flick on purpose. The last truly great example I recall seeing was Shaun Of The Dead, which I gave high marks for confronting and satirizing a few serious domestic issues amidst a zombie apocalypse, and STILL not losing that crazy sense of humor. Truly, film like this just improves with time.

      Shaun of the dead is more a indie cult movie.

She was the sexiest woman I had ever seen ... for like 20 years! Before this she was in a few married with children, and a cameo in The Adventures of Ford Fairlaine. GOD BLESS THIS WOMAN!

    I watched as a kid on "Canal 5" in México and it would be horrifying cause I hated spiders, but the goofiness kept me sane. Thanks for the nostalgic throwback Chris, love the vids.

    I remember loving the movie when I saw it in theaters but it’s been a long time since I saw it. But I loved David Arquette from that time era because of Ready to Rumble was amazing.

    I love this movie so much! It was one of my favorites as a kid and the jumping spider bike scene still makes me so happy to watch. It's so goofy and exciting.

    Can you review the movie "May" (2002) for this Halloween Special? It's a very underrated movie and deserved to be better known.

      I agree, May deserves way more of a following. I like how basically every character is crazy.

    I grew up watching those cheesy 2000's horror films, so I have much love for this flick. My grandma also took me to see this in the theater and she indirectly got me hooked on horror because I watched Tremors on repeat when I stayed at her house.

    • @Dreadjaws
      @Dreadjaws 3 роки тому +6

      The point of Hilariocity is to make fun of movies that are _unintentionally_ funny. This one is a straight up horror comedy.

    The closest thing we got to Eight Legged Freaks this year is Malignant and it's considered polarizing but in my opinion I enjoyed the s*** out of that film

    • @jordanpeakofficial
      @jordanpeakofficial 3 роки тому +6

      I was just about to make this comment but scanned through to see if anyone else did first. Malignant is most definitely the biggest budget horror comedy thats been made for a few years. I think its just a really, really hard sub genre to make i mean scaring someone and making someone laugh are the two total opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of emotions. Theres also the challenge of marketing the product to an audience and most people would want to see one that makes them laugh or the other that makes them poop their pants rather than a movie that does both. It doesn’t surprise me that out of the cornetto trilogy of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s films that the highest grossing was an action comedy (hot fuzz 80 mill) and the other two which blended elements of horror and comedy didn’t make as much (shaun of the dead 30 mill the world’s end 46 mill)
