WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST: After Colonel Manning survived an experimental Plutonium blast that triggered his mutation into a 60-foot giant, everyone believed he plunged to a watery death. Everyone except his sister, who helps track him down when he reappears terrorizing a Mexican village. THE SPIDER: The fear of science run amok that dominated 1950s horror here takes the form of a giant spider, discovered by a young couple living in a cave, from which the teenagers barely escape with their lives. Initial disbelief from the townspeople quickly turns to terror, but the sheriff eventually helps them kill the beast. A celebratory dance follows this misadventure, but the question remains: is the spider really dead?
