Rifftrax Live: The Giant Spider Invasion Comes To Theaters
Fathom Events is teaming up with Rifftrax to bring another live riffing to theaters — and this time, it’s 1975’s B-movie “classic” The Giant Spider Invasion. Michael J.

The Great Spider Invasion starred “Alan Hale Jr, the (Skipper from “Gilligan’s Island”), Barbara Hale (“Perry Mason,” and no relation to the Skipper)
