[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Dunno 'bout the rest of you, but that title is REALLY turning me off...

[F13 (F13)]

I must be the only one who doesn't have a problem with it. Okay, given the subject matter [slightly campy 50's style drive-in Creature Feature], any ideas for a different title?

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Eight Legged anything but FREAKS! heehee <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> Eight Legged Terror? Creepy Crawlies? Invasion of the Giant Speeders? <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[Will Finch (Shetan)]

I have to admit I was a little miffed when the name changed from Arac Attack. I thought that title had a good ring to it. But 8 Legged Freaks I think will grow on you...actually I'm beginning to kinda like it. I tried it out yesterday on one of our local "Palmetto bugs". I'm not sure exactly how many legs they do have, but the one I slung the boot at yelling "ya freak!" is probably missing one or two at least. My aim was a little off...and I might need some help..Red rover,Red rover, send Kari right over! <BR> <BR>Thanks F13, neat info.. I couldn't get it to start playing though. I had a friend of mine from NC ..gosh its been probably 15 or more years ago that moved to Cal. and was playing background music for movies. I guess like in those pictures..I just thought that was the neatest thing.

[F13 (F13)]

I do think it's a very memorable title, and it's a line uttered by a character in the film! Why the aversion to the word "Freaks" though, Sher? They're mutant spiders after all <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR>Will, the sound clips worked for me. Do you have Real Audio installed? Sometimes it crashes out on me. Doing background music would be a very nice job indeed. A good soundtrack really makes a difference.

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Hey, how about "Arachnophobia 2"? :Þ

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

I guess cuz maybe to me, "Freaks" sounds mickey-mouse. Something you'd expect to see on the late late night tv..not fork out to go see at the theatre. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Hey, I know a good title! How about "Arac Attack"? >;Þ <BR> <BR>Tarantula Terror? <BR> <BR>World Wide Web? <BR> <BR>the Revenge of Willie Shatner's Hairpiece?

[F13 (F13)]

Hmmm... you've got the point Sher even if you don't like it! "Freaks" is supposed to capture the feeling [albeit with a name cast, bigger budget and effects] of those B-Movies of yesteryear which now show on late night television. <BR> <BR>I honestly think it's a case of liking horror films and appreciating this nod to the past, much like "Scream" did with the films of the late 70s/early 80s. The title itself shows that tongue is firmly in cheek. <BR> <BR>Fungus, shouldn't William Shatner's hairpiece get separate billing in his films?

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

I think William Shatner's hairpiece would demand more money than what the film's budget was. ;-)

[Will Finch (Shetan)]

Sheri, you should paint some of his horses!

[Electric Goose (Egg)]

I like Eight Legged Freaks better than Arac Attack. Although Eigh Legged Beasties would be better because when I think of freaks I think of people. Are they mutant people? Oh no, that's the one with Toby McGuire, right? <BR> <BR>Speaking of William Shatner... <BR> <BR>Any Iron Chef fans around? I watched William Shatner's version. Not half as good.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Hey Yeah, Will! Although, YOUR horse is far better looking. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[Will Finch (Shetan)]

Oh, I absoluteley agree Sheri, but don't tell him that (putting my rose colored glasses away ;-)

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Oh heck, you have about THE most gorgeous black stallion I know of! (Next to my little guy of course. *giggle*) <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Sheri, yours is a yak. Seriously... :]

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Just wait about six weeks. ;-) He'll become a beeeeooootiful shiny black stallion en miniature. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[Will Finch (Shetan)]

Nova's blushing... what in six weeks Sheri? <BR> <BR>I heard the score (link above ) 8 LF's. !!! MOST EXCELLENT. One can just sense the critters scampering about. Really quality sounds, especially liked Spider Mania, very upbeat and loaded with crisp variety. A+++

[Will Finch (Shetan)]

A little off topic, but if any of you music people over there know Tim Smith, please tell him Margaret passed away. She was a wonderful person with a sweet soul. I'll be away a few days.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Six weeks til SPRING!!! <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> Then the shedding begins....

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

I know, I know... don't remind me Sheri... but at least we got a new vacuum for Christmas, so the hair won't be too bad...
