They were notable for being cut from a 1930s film, but they made an appearance in a low-budget sci-fi movie over twenty years later. What were they?

The giant spiders in King Kong, perhaps?

The giant spiders in King Kong, perhaps? Correct! The infamous spider pit sequence, in which Kong shakes the ship's crew off a log and into a pit where they're devoured by trapdoor spiders, was cut from the film and never found. Some film historians claim it was because it was too disturbing, while others suggested that Willis O'Brien was unhappy with the spider's somewhat comical facial features. The spiders, along with a giant tentacled worm not used in the film, made cameo appearances in The Black Scorpion, which was released this week in 1957. That film also borrowed the ant chirps from Them! for its mutated scorpions. Some critics complained that scorpions don't chirp, but I doubt that the makers of the film were sticklers for accuracy. |

Now hold on thar'! It is a matter of dispute whether O'Brien used the actual original models for The Black Scorpion that he first used for Kong. (Just felt I had to say that.) |

IMDb claims they were original models. I don't know if the spiders have serial numbers, so I can't tell for sure. Right now I'm watching the end of The Fly, and Earth vs. the Spider comes on right after that, so I don't have time to research this further. |
