That’s an actual photo of the event. I was there! I am the second guy from the left!
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.
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.
Time to try and nuke him!
