One of my favorite exploitation movie posters is the one for the sci fi film THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION.
The art on the poster suggest that the film is going to be an epic. The poster shows a great city being attack by truly giant size monster spiders that are chasing a crowd of people.
Of course the monster in the movie is nothing like the monsters in the poster. It is a giant spider but not as big as the ones on the poster art. It is a funny looking live prop with 'bug' eyes. It was built over a Volkswagen and looks a lot like a parade float.
The monster spider attacks a small town. I saw this movie in a small theater in Chula Vista CA when the movie was first released and everyone in the theater was laughing when the giant spider came on screen and chased a crowd of people.
The film was directed by Bill Rebane the man who gave us the schlock sci fi classic MONSTER A GO GO.
