Tarantula (1955)

"Professor Gerald Deemer has been working on a special nutrient to help ease a predicted food shortage that is expected to come with the increase in human population. His experiments have been moderately successful but there have been some failures as a result. One day while he is gone two of his colleagues inject themselves with the nutrient with disastrous results and die a few days later. One however goes mad and injects Deemer with the formula. During a struggle, a giant tarantula injected with the formula escapes its cage and grows even larger and starts to attack cattle as well as human beings." -imdb.com

It was released on DVD in 2007, but only as a "pack" with a couple other Mosnter movies...

but, it was released again a little over a month ago by itself, but still rather hard to find though...

I loved this movie back when I saw it the first time, in the early 70s. And I still do. I've been watching for it to come out on DVD, no luck yet. Also in answer to ROBs ?, yes that was Clint Eastwood in his 1st movie role as the lead pilot.
