TAGLINE: "Screaming young girls sucked into a labyrinth of horror by a blood-starved ghoul from Hell!" - A group of gold thieves pull of a heist and flee into the snowy wilderness, only to be pursued by a horrible, spider-like monster. Gangster Alexander Ward, his girl friend, Gypsy Boulet, and two henchmen come to Deadwood, South Dakota with the idea of stealing a few gold bars. They enlist the aid of a local ski instructor, Gil Jackson, and plan to use him as a guide out of the territory after the robbery. However, a blizzard forces them to take refuge in Jackson's cabin, where Gypsy lowers the inside temperature by giving the cold shoulder to Ward, her former sweetie until she saw Jackson. Ward doesn't care, as he plans to kill Jackson after they have no further use of him. But they had used an explosion in a cave to serve as a distraction during the heist, and this explosion had irritated the big spider that lived there and, sure enough, all hands have to seek refuge in the cave from the fury of the storm. All but two of them would have been better off facing the South Dakota elements. CAST includes Michael Forest, Sheila Carol, Frank Wolff, Richard Sinatra, Wally Campo, Chris Robinson. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Director Monte Hellman was introduced to Roger Corman through his wife, Barboura Morris, who had previously acted in some of Corman's films. Corman gave Hellman the director's job for this film on the spot. According to Hellman, he offered the job through a handshake agreement and there was no official contract. Hellman recalled that "We didn't have a contract or anything. Just a handshake. And Roger's handshake was better than most people's contracts." As well as his $1,000 director's fee Monte Hellman claimed to have received 2% of the profits - which he said came to $400 over the next five years. Chris Robinson, the actor who portrayed the monster, grew rather attached to the constructed beast, which he nicknamed "Humphrass." According to Chris Robinson, he added aluminum stripping to a plywood base, then covered the frame with chicken wire before wrapping it in sheets and muslin in order to create the monster's skeletal base. He then soaked the frame in vinyl paint in order to waterproof the design, since it had to be used in the snow. The creature's head was fashioned out of quarter-inch aluminum wire, which was then encased in steel wire and wrapped in muslin. The creature's fangs and teeth were also constructed with aluminum wire. Robinson then placed putty and patches of crepe hair onto the design before adding spun glass in order to give it a cobwebby appearance. Roger Corman and Gene Corman partly chose their filming location in the Black Hills because they were encouraged to come by the Chamber of Commerce in South Dakota. The Chamber of Commerce offered financial incentives in order to ensure that this, and future Corman films, would be shot in their state. Immediately following production of this film, Ski Troop Attack (1960) was filmed on the same location in the South Dakota Black Hills. Both films featured much of the same cast and crew.
