BUGS

A Bug-A-Thon!

[RCMerchant]

Do the giant snails in "the monster than challenged the world' count as bugs?

^- I dunno. But eh! I reckon it counts! It's a multi legged creepy crawly!

Again because I have to be that guy...

Insects:  6 legs.  Three segmented bodies (head, abdomen, thorax) 
EX: ants, bees, grasshoppers, moths, butterflies, beetles

Arachnids Most have at least 8 legs-but can have more.
Ex: Spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites and horseshoe crabs

Crustaceans : Most are aquatic,  Different number of legs
Ex: crabs, lobsters, crayfish, wood lice, fish lice

Mollusks: Soft bodies, but may have shells. 
Ex: snails, slugs

Chilopoda :
Ex: centipedes, millipieds


Now that the zoology lesson is over.

So where does a Daddy Long Legs fit?

Has anybody mentioned The Beginning Of The End yet?

Oh lawd, that was baaaad! Real grasshoppers put on pictures of buildings, horrible matte shots, etc. It did have a deaf mute character which was kind of unusual,  he wasn't A freak or henchman, actually an man intelligent man with a disability. Too bad he get et.

Man eating worms are featured in "Squirm", a movie I don't recommend as it's  not really scary, interesting or anything but uncomfortable. Watching the people being overwhelmed by masses of killer worms just makes you feel "Eeeyyyeeeewwww! " uncomfortable,  not scared. The characters are mostly so awful you yawn at their deaths.

There's nothing in this movie even for a b movie fan I recommend you  pass.

The late David Hedison as the FLY (1958)

I bring forth the one of the Jeff Goldblum -- I didn't see the original but I really liked this

I beg to differ. SQUIRM is f**king cool!

To each their own.  I just felt uncomfortable watching it.

BTW, I challenge anyone here to find a stranger movie about bugs,  or maybe not about bugs. Or maybe about robots,  or maybr not about robots,  than this one:

I liked the second one better too.

That's the whole point of horror movies. To make you feel uncomfortable. I reckon it did it's job.
In fact- it's a fantastic movie!

A Bug-A-Thon!

amazing!

couple to add...we had THE BEES, how about...



no that cover image is not from the film...the bee FX in that one are like someone layered a sheet of glass on the screen and let bees crawl over it.

I kept bees for 2 years. still have the bee-suit! I did not die, however I got badly stung on the ankle one time


also

SLUGS



are slugs actually bugs? well it rhymes, so I say... maybe

directed by the same guy who did PIECES, but it's nowhere near as good

a girl gets slugged to death in Fulci's AENIGMA as well...

the slug's secret weapon is its amazing speed. trying to outrun a slug is a fool's game.

the NEST (1988) I saw this last year on COMET. Fun movie! And it's got Robert (the 4-D MAN) Lansing!
