Jack Cole, Plastic Man, Batman, Salvage 1, Doctor Who, Stargate: Atlantis, Tarantula, The Ruff & Reddy Show, Blakes 7, Babylon 5.

I saw the movie "Tarantula" a few months ago. I thought that for the time (1955) that the effects weren't that bad for the time. For a little trivia this was the second sci-fi movie for Clint Eastwood. In this one he played a jet squadron leader.


Enjoy !!!
