				Why watch this? 
				You'll enjoy this creepy B-movie. It's better than most of its 
				peers. 
				Plot Summary: A pair 
				of geologists investigate a series of volcanic eruptions in 
				Mexico. They discover that the eruptions have unearthed giant 
				prehistoric scorpions that are attacking local people and 
				livestock. The scientists and the military must work together to 
				find a way to stop the monstrous creatures before they cause 
				further destruction. Dad's Preview: 
				This 
				early giant bug chiller's special effects were the product of Willis O'Brien 
				(King Kong (1930)). Of course it's campy and the acting is 
				average, but man, when these giant arachnids are on the prowl, 
				your skin will crawl!
