They’re big. They’re bad. They scuttle along in caverns miles beneath the Earth – until an earthquake opens paths to the surface. Now, these monsters of genus Arachnida are invading our world with deadly force! With top special effects co-designed by King Kong’s Willis O’Brien, The Black Scorpion is horror with a sting more lethal than the king-sized ants that overran Los Angeles’ sewers in the classic Them! Can humankind survive these invincible juggernauts? That fate rests on the shoulders of Hank Scott (1950s monster-movie stalwart Richard Denning) as the creatures rip a train from its track, snatch a helicopter from the sky and, in the film’s most gripping sequence, battle each other in their subterranean lair.

Hot damn! One of my most-wanted 50's creature-features.

heebiejeebie · 02-21-2018, 10:08 PM

I've never actually seen this movie, but supposedly the spider in this is the same one used in King Kong's lost spider pit sequence.

The Sovereign · 02-21-2018, 10:32 PM

It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen this one, but the trailer has me stoked. Can’t wait to bust this out for a late weekend night!

AKORIS · 02-21-2018, 10:36 PM

Zillamon51 · 02-21-2018, 10:44 PM

I'd prefer it if stuff like this and Gwangi came out in sets, like the SPFX Vol. 1 collection, but I guess I have to take 'em as I can get 'em.

RalphoR · 02-21-2018, 10:58 PM

Done and Done. I've been buying these types of films day one, and most of them are complete blind buys for me. I've been hoping for Black Scorpion for awhile now, and can't wait to see it for the first time ever. WAC is in the top of my favorite labels. I wish Universal would do the same.

I'm a very late-bloomer Monster Kid (I grew up with Sci-Fi), and pretty much anything 1930's to 1960's that the true Monster Kids get excited about that releases on Blu Ray, I snatch those up ASAP both to show my support and to experience the films for myself. I haven't been disappointed yet. On the contrary, pretty much everything I get makes me want even more.

WAC has gone to the top of my favorite labels as well! Fun releases, great quality... always looking forward to their great announcements! Seems like they always offer something I want in my collection
