Here’s the beastie from the end of the movie; it’s supposed to be a giant spider, but is the head at least was clearly designed to be that of a giant ant. This movie was made in 1943, ten years before Them!, so I have no idea what that ant would have been fabricated for. Weird.

    I think the prop guys stole it from Dale Gribble’s “Dead Bug” van.

    Or, a display prop for the old ‘Cooties’ toys.

    Cool! Sure has that similar -if smaller- critter from KING SOLOMON’S MINES beat!

    In other affairs, how goes the job search, Ken?

    The spider is pretty good for those days. Better than that crappy one in Missile to the Moon. And at least they didn’t just put rabbit fur all over a Volkswagen and glue giant pipe cleaners to it’s sides.
