BECAUSE SCIENCE, BITCHES!

Over and over again we see this is what modern science is all about. Some book, comic book, movie, Hell: Even a song will get stuck in some kid's head and that's it. That person will have to dedicate their life to a deep dive into that thing for the rest of their lives. We've seen it in ALIEN, TREMORS, and SPIDER-MAN, just to name a few, and now it's happening to the fun little creature feature from 1990, ARACHNAPHOBIA.

Say hello to the latest tarantula parasite, Tarantobelus jeffdanielsi.
