We kick off our annual Horrortober with some lighter horror fare that doesn't quite thrill and doesn't entirely cause laughter, making it a true thrill-omedy: Arachnophobia. Starring Jeff Daniels as a city doctor who moves with his family to the country, he must help stop an invasive spider species from killing the entire town. It features some gross-out moments and light jump scares but ultimately is a fun throwback to horror movies of a time passed. Graphic artist Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, thrill-omedies, and acting spiders.
