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!
