Peter Jason

John Carpenter’s subversive action-sci-fi follows a drifter (WWF wrestler Roddy Piper) who finds a pair of truth-revealing sunglasses, only to discover that Earth has been covertly taken over by aliens.

A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidentally transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring. It's up to a couple of doctors with the help of an insect exterminator to annihilate these eight legged freaks.
