Snake movies have always been a wonderful release for me. Why? Well, in a snake movie you do not have the restrictions of reality holding you down. A black mamba really can move at about the speed of a cheetah and an anaconda really can grow to the size of a football field in a [...]

Just the name used to send shudders through my entire body. Tarantula….Something about the way the letters are formed seems to perfectly describe this hairy arachnid. As a boy, a tarantula was an orange and black patterned monster that grew to be the size of my face.

The brown recluse, or fiddleback spider, is one of the more dangerous spiders found in the United States. Though the spider has a fearsome reputation, it is actually quite shy and uninterested in human beings.
