Star Wars or Kingdom of the Spiders?

Had to share one more item from the same issue of SUPERMAG as seen in our previous post. Yes, Gwen Anne Barret's "Super Scoops" feature was THE place to find up-to-the-minute news and info on all that was cool in every area of entertainment in '77! And I've always loved Kingdom of the Spiders starring William Shatner, so it was neat to time travel back and read an early mention of it, hypin' up all of us monster kids to some creepy, weird web action coming soon to the big screen! Also of recommendation, a suspenseful adventure film that Gwen thought we should definitely not miss, which I will admit sounds pretty interesting, but seriously now, only the test of time will determine if out-of-this world fantasy films with robots and evil empires can stand up to Captain Kirk vs. tarantulas! Good luck to that little sci-fi flick from a galaxy far, far away, anyway...

Man, all the good movies came out in seventy-seven! I like to imagine a world where STAR WARS is in every Mill Creek sci-fi collection, and KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS has a franchise that's nine movies wide (and counting). Sigh....
