Starring The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs as Peter Parker, The Spider is an upcoming fan film that will give us a horror take on Spider-Man. Do we need a horror take? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean I’m not really interested in seeing how it turns out.
I remember reading long ago on...I think it was Chris Sims' Invincible Super-Blog...the idea that if you were to cut the Peter Parker story off at the point he finds out Uncle Ben is dead, it would kind of hold up as one of those short monster/horror stories that Marvel published back in the Silver and pre-Silver Ages. I think about that and the fact that a member of Marvel's First Family has been turned into a monster as reminders that the Marvel Universe, in a way, has its deepest roots in horror. This seems like it could be a cool film.
