Spiders (film)

## *Spiders*

***Spiders*** is a 2000 American science fiction horror film directed by Gary Jones and written by Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson. The film stars Lana Parrilla as a newspaper journalist investigating top secret government facility. The film was released by Millennium Films on December 27, 2000.

Notably, the film was released in Spanish under the title *Aracnofobia 2*, thereby purporting to be a sequel to the 1990 horror-comedy film *Arachnophobia*. In reality, the film was not authorized to be a sequel, and it bears no relation to the 1990 original beyond its depiction of killer spiders running rampant in California. The plot involves a spider genetically altered with extraterrestrial DNA crashing onto Earth and causing mayhem in the streets of Los Angeles.

Termite

The **termite**, infraorder *Isoptera*, are a group of insects which are known for their consumption of material such as wood, which renders them a pest to human interests.

Although Ross Jennings blamed the deterioration of his envisaged wine cellar on termites, an inspection by exterminator Delbert McClintock of Bugs-B-Gone revealed no such creatures in the area.

Drone

Within the unique social hierarchy of the Venezuelan spider, a **drone** or **soldier spider** was an infertile spider produced by a General and his Queen as foot soldiers of the colony. In this capacity, they were noted by entomologist Dr. James Atherton, upon their discovery, to be similar to worker bees or soldier ants, which also carved their societies into similar castes. Later, upon the unprecedented cross-breeding of a particularly adventurous male Venezuelan specimen with a domestic house spider, smaller drones of a hybrid species were produced, wreaking havoc on the town of Canaima, California until they were exterminated.

The **domestic house spider** was a species of spider native to North America. At least one such specimen resided in the Jennings residence, where it was found by the Jennings family. Ross Jennings, a lifelong arachnophobe, petitioned his wife to take the little spider to their nearby barn, where that specimen mated with a much larger specimen of a new species from South America that had been accidentally introduced into its habitat.

Arachnophobia (fear)

Dr. Ross Jennings: "*Can you blame me for being a spider-phobe?*"

— The Jenningses discussing Ross's primordial fear[src]

**Arachnophobia** is the irrational fear of spiders. Although individuals suffering from the fear may become paralyzed by an encounter with an arachnid, in fact the human brain secretes a neurotransmitter which allows the subject to deal with the interaction and act appropriately, according to Chris Collins.

Two Canaima residents—Dr. Ross Jennings and his son Tommy Jennings—were plagued by the condition at the same time that their small town became infested with a swarm of deadly spiders. The former Dr. Jennings first contracted the fear when, as a child, a spider or daddy long-legs crawled up his leg and onto his face. The terror was so great that Dr. Jennings retained a phobia of the creatures for the rest of his life.

Arachnophobia (upcoming film)

## *Arachnophobia*

***Arachnophobia***  is an upcoming American horror film that is set to be written and directed by Christopher Landon. The film has been described as a reboot rather than a sequel. However, director James Wan has hinted that the film may be a legacy sequel rather than a remake.

## Development

In 2022, various outlets began to report that the 1990 film *Arachnophobia* was receiving a remake to be jointly produced by Atomic Monster and Amblin Entertainment, listing Christopher Landon as writer and director, horror savante James Wan and Michael Clear as producers, and Frank Marshall as executive producer. Director James Wan later hinted on Facebook that the film may involve actor John Goodman reprising his role as exterminator Delbert McClintock, and asked, "[A]re you sure it's a redo?"

When it was revealed that an *Arachnophobia* remake was in production, the original film's screenwriter, Wesley Strick, expressed his disappointment to *Den of Geek*, commenting, "I don't especially see how or why they would need to remake it for a modern audience. There is something timeless about the original and the way we made it."

On July 13, 2022, executive producer Frank Marshall uploaded a photo to Instagram taken at a lake in Château La Coste with a large spider sculpture visible in the background, joking: "Location scouting for Arach2?"

In early 2023, Landon revealed that the script had been finished and was nearing production. "I’m hoping it should be my next film. We’re getting super close. The script’s done. I’ve been working on that for a while now. So now it’s just really about getting it together. I met a spider wrangler the other day, so that’s a good sign!" When asked if he was an arachnophobe himself, he replied that he was "[t]errified. So like I’ve said, I’m either the most qualified or the least qualified person to do this movie."

Bug Bomb

The so-called **Bug Bomb** was a device deployed by the Arachnid Abatement Technicians of Bugs-B-Gone. They were loaded with a patented insecticide called Toxi-Max, invented by exterminator Delbert McClintock and held in private stock at his company, as well as other unidentified chemicals. When detonated, the Bug Bomb was capable of clearing a room of such pests as drones of Venezuelan spiders and their cross-bred descendants. It was also capable of stunning the more resilient Generals and Queens of the former species.

After clearing the town of Canaima, California of Venezuelan spiders during the infestation of same in 1990, Delbert, Canaima's resident exterminator, applied his services to surrounding towns, where other infestations had been uncovered. Towards this end, Delbert constituted a Spider Infestation Control team, formed of exterminators specializing in the novel species' unique biology, and equipped them with, inter alia, Insecticide Spray Guns and Bug Bombs. The operation was successful, and the infestations were removed thereafter.

Toxi-Max

**Toxi-Max** was a particularly potent insecticide developed and patented by Delbert McClintock, licensed exterminator of Bugs-B-Gone. The insecticide was organic and biodegradable, and caused spiders to sizzle when in contact with the formula.

Toxi-Max was standard issue for the Arachnid Abatement Technicians of Bugs-B-Gone and could be discharged through Insecticide Spray Guns. Said technicians were licensed to handle such toxic materials as the pesticide, although at least one incident occurred whereby residents of Canaima, California were inadvertently fumigated with the chemical. The customers were hospitalized but ultimately released.

In 1990, the limited availability of Toxi-Max pesticide caused extraordinarily high demand for the services of McClintock and Bugs-B-Gone during the chaos caused by the introduction of the deadly Venezuelan spider into California. The insecticide was vindicated as the only substance which proved effective against them, and it therefore played a critical role in containing and ultimately eliminating the resulting infestation and their hybrid offspring throughout the United States state of California.

Sam Metcalf

Dr. **Sam Metcalf** (died 1990) was a doctor in Canaima. He was married to Evelyn Metcalf until a spider bite caused his death during a spider outbreak in Canaima.

## Biography

### Early life

Sam Metcalf obtained his physician license many decades prior to 1990. He moved to Canaima, California following World War II and threw himself a welcome party, inviting everyone and establishing himself as the town's resident physician. He married Evelyn Metcalf and practiced medicine in the city for several decades.

In 1990 or shortly beforehand, he came into contact with Dr. Ross Jennings, a Yale-trained physician who practiced medicine in San Francisco, who was looking to move to an idyllic small town and set up a city-wide practice. Dr. Metcalf assured Dr. Jennings of his intention to retire and leave his patients to Jennings. In reliance on Metcalf's promise, Jennings purchased a home in Canaima and rented office space for that purpose.

### Canaima spider outbreak

When Jennings arrived, he met with the young doctor and informed him that he had a change of heart. In fact Dr. Metcalf would not retire and leave his patients to Jennings, citing the pattern he noticed that his elderly friends died soon after retiring. When Jennings protested, he claimed that he would not be persuaded otherwise, as even his wife Evelyn had been unsuccessful in persuading him to retire.

Jennings left and acquired one of Dr. Metcalf's former patients, Margaret Hollins, whom Metcalf had previously placed on medication for hypertension. Hollins resolved to throw Jennings a welcome party to which all Canaima residents would be invited. Not one to retreat from a social occasion, Dr. Metcalf attended the party with his wife, publicly lauding Dr. Jennings as a fine physician.

The following day, Metcalf learned that Hollins had passed away when she returned home after the party. The two doctors sparred on the cause of death, Metcalf blaming it on Jennings's decision to take her off the medication, and Jennings desiring more investigation. Metcalf, the town's established physician, obtained the support of Sheriff Lloyd Parsons, and the matter was concluded on Metcalf's medical determination.

## Behind the scenes

Dr. Sam Metcalf was portrayed by Henry Jones in one film.

Daddy long-legs

Dr. Ross Jennings: "*I can envision the crib, all around me, clear as day. I can still feel the feeling of waking up. Just drowsy, peaceful, secure, then there it was.*"
Molly Jennings: "*Probably just a daddy long-legs.*"
— The Jenningses discuss Ross's arachnid assailant[src]
The **daddy long-legs** is a kind of non-spider arachnid called a harvestman.

When Dr. Ross Jennings was an infant, he encountered an unidentified arachnid in his crib, causing him to contract arachnophobia—the pathological fear of spiders. When he later recounted the story to his wife Molly Jennings in 1990, she theorized that Jennings' assailant was a harmless daddy long-legs. However, the precise specimen remembered by Jennings did not resemble a daddy long-legs.

## Behind the scenes

The real-life harvestman or "daddy long-legs" is a non-spider arachnid characterized by a body plan featuring a fused cephalothorax and abdomen. However, the creature of Dr. Jennings' memory is depicted as a two-segmented spider in the comic adaptation.

**Venezuela** was a nation located in South America. Its capital was Caracas.

The nation was home to a region of the Amazon basin through which flowed the Orinoco River. A number of mountainous tepuis formed the surrounding landscape. Native wildlife included parrots and tapirs. Native arthropod species included the 24-hour ant, a species of butterfly called *Photius manlii*, and a deadly species of spider, all isolated in one of these remote tepuis. The native Amazonians were known to be cautious individuals, expressing a deep awareness of their exotic homeland and the sometimes dangerous species within it.

Jennings barn

The **Jennings barn** was located near the Jennings residence in the town of Canaima, California. The family had very little use for the barn; it was at first used as a deposit for a domestic house spider specimen which Molly Jennings had saved from the family's belongings. Later, a much deadlier arrival wandered into the barnhouse—an exotic Venezuelan spider called the General, a fertile male of his species, found his way therein and mated with the much smaller, native spider.

The two then constructed a massive web which served as their central nest, from which hatched hundreds of tiny, hybrid offspring. Molly Jennings noticed the web and photographed it, later persuading her severely arachnophobic husband Dr. Ross Jennings to join her in appreciating it. The two were astonished by its size and complexity, though Dr. Jennings was startled by the sudden collapse of his ladder next to getting a cocooned mouse in his face while trying to lean on a board to stabilize himself and raced out of the barn.

Later, on the basis of the web, both Dr. Jennings and entomologist Dr. James Atherton independently deduced that the barn was the source of the spider infestation, which had theretofore been uncovered. Atherton arrived first and attempted to elicit the General's appearance while investigating the webs and noting numerous corpses of local wildlife, from various insects to even a rat and a cat. However, this ruse caused him his death as the General ambushed him. Later, exterminator Delbert McClintock followed, on Jennings' petition, and discovered Atherton's webbed corpse. He then destroyed the remnants of the spiders' nest, which, unbeknownst to him, had been moved by the spiders to Jennings' wine cellar.

Canaima National Park

**Canaima National Park** (Spanish: *Parque Nacional Canaima*) is a 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi) park in south-eastern Venezuela that roughly occupies the same area as the Gran Sabana region. It is located in Bolívar State, reaching the borders with Brazil and Guyana. The park was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The opening sequence of the 1990 film *Arachnophobia* was filmed at Canaima National Park, beginning December 4, 1989. Director Frank Marshall, who worked on the *Indiana Jones* films, which often involved shooting in jungles, was already interested in and comfortable with shooting in natural locations, as was director of photography Mikael Salomon. For that reason, the sequence was shot on-location in the restricted Gran Sabana (English: Great Savannah) region of the Park, which hosts unique flora and fauna not found anywhere else on the globe. According to Marshall, no feature film had ever shot at the park before.

The park hosted a single landing strip and a resort, so the crew was able to fly to the location by helicopter and occupy the resort while filming. Venezuela issued executive producer Steven Spielberg a permit allowing him to film in the savannah, subject to certain stipulations; among these were that only a limited amount of crew and equipment were allowed access, no overnight stays were allowed, and some of the park could only be shown from an aerial view. While there, the crew also built a base camp and a tourist camp for visitors.

During production, Marshall learned of "tepui," plateau-topped mountains and ecological islands, which became the principal inspiration and setting for the Venezuela sequence. The crew would fly five helicopters up to the tepui, where filming would take place; the mountain was so tall that clouds sometimes made camerawork difficult, and Marshall was only able to get one take during an entire day of filming. Another day, the crew was forced to leave quickly and abandon film equipment when a thunderstorm approached. The filmmakers ultimately chose to name the main setting of the film "Canaima" after the park.

Aerosol Flamethrower

The **Aerosol Flamethrower** was an improvised weapon used by various parties against Venezuelan spiders and their hybrid offspring during the infestation of same in 1990 throughout Canaima, California and surrounding areas. It was first put to use against the spiders when Dr. Ross Jennings battled the massive General spider in his wine cellar, resulting in the inflammation of the arachnid, which it initially survived before being impaled by the discharge of a nail gun.

Later, aerosol flamethrowers were wielded by the Arachnid Abatement Technicians of Bugs-B-Gone, including Delbert McClintock. The flamethrower was found to be particularly effective against Queen spiders, who were resilient to less potent attacks, as well as egg sacs.

Entomology

**Entomology** is the scientific study of insects, although experts in the field are generally also knowledgeable about other arthropods including spiders. Dr. James Atherton was one such expert, teaching at the California Polytechnic Institute Department of Entomology, alongside his assistants, Miguel Higueras and Chris Collins. Other entomologists could be found around California. Oftentimes arachnology was considered a specialization in this discipline.

When photographer Jerry Manley arrived, the research team departed by helicopter to explore the surrounding rainforest and its tepuis. When the expedition returned, it unknowingly had brought a dangerous new species of spider along, which killed Manley and crept into his casket for transport to Canaima, California.

Arachnid Abatement Technician

An **Arachnid Abatement Technician** was a kind of exterminator employed by Bugs-B-Gone and its owner, Delbert McClintock. Said technicians constituted the Spider Infestation Control team and specialized in the elimination of deadly Venezuelan spiders and their hybrid descendants. They were necessitated following the unwitting introduction of the former species into Canaima, California in 1990 and their resulting proliferation.

Arachnid Abatement Technicians were equipped with heavy-duty pest control equipment, including Insecticide Spray Guns and Bug Bombs. This equipment required Delbert's patented Toxi-Max insecticide, a powerful solution designed for rapid elimination of spiders, and technicians were specially trained in handling the substance. Technicians were also assigned a Bugs-B-Gone truck and an instrument called a Bugometer, which was capable of intercepting and analyzing high-frequency emissions produced by the Venezuelan species.

The Birds

***The Birds*** is a 1963 American natural horror-thriller film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Loosely based on the 1952 short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, it focuses on a series of sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks on the people of Bodega Bay, California, over the course of a few days.

The film stars Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedren in her screen debut, alongside Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright. The screenplay is by Evan Hunter, who was told by Hitchcock to develop new characters and a more elaborate plot while keeping du Maurier's title and concept of unexplained bird attacks.

The film influenced and inspired the later 1990 film *Arachnophobia*. Director Frank Marshall explicitly wanted *Arachnophobia* to resemble *The Birds*, where the eponymous birds serve as catalysts to a dramatic story focused on the characters, which inspired his own take on the story. Marshall also studied techniques for generating suspense from the film as well as Hitchcock's *Vertigo*. Originally, *Arachnophobia* ended with a reference to *The Birds* and had the Jennings family standing outside their home and watching as a group of birds landed on a swing set; this conclusion was cut on Steven Spielberg's suggestion.

24-hour ant

“*They kill, Mr. Manley, in sufficient numbers.*”
—Dr. James Atherton[src]
The **24-hour ant**, known to natives as **veinticuatro**, was a species of tiny ant which inhabited the rainforests of the Venezuelan Amazon basin. According to entomologist Dr. James Atherton, a sufficiently large swarm of the insects could kill a human. This surprised Jerry Manley, whose encounter with a specimen of this ant species prompted Atherton to comment.

## Behind the scenes

The 24-hour ant referred to in the film is the species *Paraponera clavata*, also known as the bullet ant, known for their painful sting. In the film, the ant's appearance perhaps serves as a prefiguration of the Venezuelan spider, which is noted later to behave in a social manner akin to ants.

The Queen (Canaima)

## The Queen

This **Queen** was produced from the union of a fertile male Venezuelan spider called the General with a common domestic house spider when the former was introduced into Canaima, California. She was biologically intended to mate with the General and produce reproductive offspring to propagate the species. For that reason she guarded her central nest, which was constructed in the Jennings barn but was later moved to the wine cellar below the nearby residence. However, she died by electrocution at the hands of Ross Jennings before her children could hatch successfully.

Двойной обод

**Двойные обода** - велосипедные обода с дополнительной внутренней стенкой для увеличения жесткости и прочности.Поскольку прочность и жесткость обода необходимая для велосипеда давно известна и почти постоянна - то это используется производителями для экономии материала за счет более тонких стенок и получения дополнительной прибыли. Изначально созданы для шоссейных и трековых велогонок, нынче без разбора используются везде. По слухам придают +100500 к скорости и к ЧСВ, однако на некоторых типах велосипедов (туринги, дорожники, ситибайки) часто эту скорость снижают, параллельно уменьшая комфорт на дорогах, отличных от идеальных. В крокодиловодстве реально применимы только на всех вариантах шоссейных велосипедов мадэ ин СССР. Являются одной из основных тем споров крокодиловодов.

**Материалы:**

*1) Алюминий*

*2) Сталь*

*3) Карбон*

**Типы:**

*1) Клинчерные*

*2) Под шины-однотрубки.*

**Виды:**

*1) Низкопрофильный (низкий) двойной обод*

Как правило имеет высоту до 23 мм. Имеет более высокую жесткость, чем одинарный обод, так же по сравнению с одинарным ободом легче правятся восьмерки, его сложнее механически деформировать. Хорошо подходит для неэкстремальных шоссейников, циклокросса и гибридов. Из минусов: имеет больший вес, чем одинарный обод, стОит в два раза дороже одинарного обода. Как правило, изготавливается из алюминия, хотя изредка встречаются и стальные версии (которые любимы велотуристами).

*2) Высокопрофильный (высокий, аэродинамический) двойной обод*

Легко узнаваем тем, что в разрезе имеет форму конуса и высоту больше 23 мм. Имеет максимально возможную жесткость, позволяет хорошо рассекать воздушный поток, дает классный накат по идеально гладкому покрытию и... все. Потому что как правило имеет запредельный вес (более 650 грамм), а реальный хипстер на своем фиксе не сможет раскочегариться до 40 км/ч, когда такой обод начинает работать. Поэтому в 90% случаев такой обод ставится в связи с эстетической составляющей, а не для выигрыша сотой доли секунды на дистанции. Большая часть изготавливается из алюминия, для богатеньких буратин есть версии из пендосского карбона. По характеру поведения лучше всего становятся на фикседы.

**О пользе двойных ободов**

На самом деле двойные обода действительно необходимы только в спорте, например для шоссейных гонок, велотрека и велокросса. Спортвные (и околоспортивные) снаряды имеют высокую жесткость рамы, и им для согласованности компонентов нужны жесткие колеса, а обода являются их частью. Двойные обода позволяют реализовать шикарный накат на ровном асфальте (деревянном треке), но теряют свои преимущества на неровностях, причем даже н

    а брусчатке они вам уже начнут вытрясать душу и портить пломбы. Исключение циклокросс, потому что там одинарные обода просто не выдержат нагрузку. В остальных случаях уместнее будут одинарные обода, которые более упругие и позволяют не обращать внимание на мелкие неровности. На Стартоне ставились двойные обода, хоть одни были и под шины-однотрубки, при современной модернизации имеет смысл заменить их на аналогичные клинчерные.

Синглспид

Синглспид - велосипед имеющий одну передачу с возможностью свободного хода педалей. Синглспид есть любимый тип конструкции цепной передачи среди крокодиловодов, в некоторых случаях - предметом культа. Самый простой и дешевый тип цепной передачи. Велосипед с планетарной втулкой не является синглспидом. Фикс - схожая, но отдельная система передачи, смешивание понятий не допустимо.
Lloyd Parsons

**Lloyd Parsons** is the sheriff of Canaima. He was present during the 1990 spider outbreak that claimed the lives of multiple Canaima residents.

## Behind the scenes

Sheriff Lloyd Parsons was portrayed by Stuart Pankin in the 1990 film *Arachnophobia*. Pankin received his role without auditioning and after a conversation with director Frank Marshall, who wanted someone with a comic background. Pankin recalls that the cast was brought in for "spider sessions" prior to filming, where spiders were placed on the actors to acclimate them to their touch. Pankin has said he was not apprehensive or squeamish regarding the use of real spiders, due to the presence of spider wranglers on set. He has said that he enjoyed working with Amblin Entertainment, who treated the cast well.

Pankin's character was originally to be bitten by a spider, causing him to fatally crash his patrol car. The scene was written out of the film; filmmakers did not want a crashed car next to the Jennings household, which would realistically demand attention from John Goodman's character Delbert McClintock on his way to save the residence. Pankin developed a good working relationship with director Frank Marshall, who would go on to include Pankin in a small part in his 1995 film *Congo*.

Фипатя

Фипатя (он же долбоёб fipati100, Фипати) - участник форума и мем в одном лице. Известен своей неуемной тягой к порче нескольких изначально хорошо работающих велосипедов, но Фипатя не унывает и в прямом эфире ломает еще парочку с улыбкой на лице. Морально неустойчив и парадоксально упрям, но при этом добр и оптимистичен. Имеет уникальную способность сломать любой даже самый простейший механизм, спросить совет на 100 страниц о его ремонте, и потом доломать окончательно. Главный элемент велосипеда Фипати - механический спидометр, что прокачивает его скилл гонщега на over9000 очков. Несмотря на все, любим форумчанами, потому что в Фипате все видят отдушину на форуме, и быстро становится понятно, что все твои проблемы с твоим крокодилом фигня по сравнению с его проблемами на ровном месте.
