It needs something like a quarter next to it to show its size. Otherwise, it could be just a small spider with the camera zoomed in!

Very beautiful creature. Appears to have 10 legs, plus the fangs.

A scary, creepy, crawly tarantula of the genus Poecilotheria has a name that is very apro-poe.....almost as apro-poe as the screen name of the poster of this thread, LOL.

The first scary flic I ever saw.
The opening scene with a pajama'd man staggering in the desert, sunburned and disfigured, was the first "shock" I had ever experienced.
The camera slowly closed in on the man staggering, then he fell .. (face down, I think) .. and he slowly rolled over ...
Leo G Carrol, I think.

“With a leg span of 8 inches (20 centimeters) “
8”? Is that all? Down in the Big Bend (Texas) this would be a pup! Down there, these critters get about the size of trash can lids and that’s just the runts, lol :)

Same here....I was about 6 years old, as I recall, and it was on KTLA (Los Angeles) one Sunday afternoon.
Surprisingly, I didn’t end up arachnophobic, LOL!
Yes, I do believe that was Leo G. Carrol. Great film; a classic.

I may be wrong but their was a small scene actor, a police courier on a motorcycle that was sent out, spider killed him.
Anyone care to speculate who that actor was?
Initials are C E.
I may be wrong but its just a bit of trivia.
