Pete! Come in, Pete.
Hold on to your shirt.
Is that you, Sam?
I don't know what's going on, but the phones are down.
I know. Take the weapons and get to my house.
Guns? why would we be needing--?
Just do it!
okay. All right. okay.
winchester, 30.06...
...Mossberg pump...
...and the Lee Harvey oswald rifle.
why we have that, I do not know.
Why don't you stomp them hills out and get some room to grow...
-...before you start making brags! -Brags, is it?
I'm closing up.
You're always talking at me about something.
can you turn that thing down? You're already deaf from it.
I said, turn that thing down!
what did you say?
Bob?
First Emma leaves, now Sam's got me doing spring-cleaning.
can't get any worse.
So, what happened with you and Brian anyway?
He wasn't exactly the faithful type.
I've been trying to tell you this for a long time....
You can handle one of these, right?
-Ashley, Mike, you guys ready? -Just a minute, Mom.
-How many spiders did Joshua have? -I don't know. 100, maybe 200.
-Two hundred? Are you kidding me? -Hurry up, guys. Time to go.
Joshua's spiders are nocturnal hunters. They're coming out to feed.
-we have to warn everybody. -The phone lines are down.
To spread the word, to look into the dark places...
-...our government-controlled media-- -we could broadcast a warning!
who'll believe that lunatic?
what was that?
what the...?
what the hell is going on?
It's Pete. He's waiting. come on, let's go.
See you, Ash.
I don't think that was Pete.
oh, my God.
Holy moly!
Everybody get in the car, now! Ashley, go!
come on!
Look out, Sam!
come on!
what are you waiting for? Go!
Habronattus orbus.
The jumper.
Stay in the car. Pete, honk if there are any problems.
You got it, Sam.
-Mom. -Stay in the car!
Guys, stay.
-what are you doing? -I need to make a broadcast.
-You can't oppress me-- -Show me how this thing works.
consider this a government conspiracy to take over your station.
Here.
Friends...
...our local authorities have...
...an emergency message for our little community.
This is Sheriff Parker. I have an important announcement.
Pete, turn on the radio.
This is not a prank or one of Harlan's crazy stunts.
We have a crisis situation on our hands.
The town is being overrun by giant spiders.
I know how this sounds, but you must trust me on this.
I want everyone to arm themselves immediately.
I repeat:
Giant spiders are all over the town.
-Did she just say giant spiders? -That's just Harlan's show.
Giant spiders? what the hell kind of bullshit is that?
Aliens you believe, this you have a hard time with?
why didn't someone say something? Look at me. God.
I gotta warn Sam.
No! Noise will just attract it.
-what should I do? -Give me the walkie-talkie!
-Mom, are you there? -Yeah, Mike.
-Is everything okay? -Don't make any noises.
There's a giant tarantula headed your way.
copy that.
oh, my God!
They're here!
You're just food to that thing!
Attention, people. Everyone meet at the Prosperity Mall.
I repeat:
The Prosperity Mall!
-why the mall? -concrete walls, steel doors.
Did you see that thing?
come on!
I have four more payments on this shit!
-come on! Hurry! -It's coming this way!
Go! Go!
come on!
-can I get a refill, carol? -Help yourself, sweetie.
-That was an excellent ostrich burger. -well, thank you.
Kind of slow today, huh?
It's always slow here, wade.
There's no way you're telling me that thing back there is from Earth.
All right! They're spiders from Mars. You happy?
No.
It's the invasion!
I'm telling you, it's the invasion! I told you!
Everyone, just get to the mall as quick as you can!
Get to the Prosperity Mall as soon as possible.
Arach-attack.
If you build it, they will come.
Get everyone inside and get the gate down.
Kids, go with him.
oswald's gun.
This is the weirdest day of my life.
what is going on?
Look behind you!
-How do you lower the gate? -Key.
-Do you have it? -Yeah.
-Hurry up! -okay.
-That's the back gate. The lavatory. -come on!
-You're making me nervous! -I'm making you nervous. Give me that!
-could it be the ,,front gate,, one? -Yeah, front gate.
-come on! -come on!
Get inside! Hurry!
Mom, hurry up! come on!
Mom, hurry! Hurry!
Mom, come on! Hurry up!
Mom, are you okay?
what exactly is that?
Spider, man.
How's the lock-down holding? This one's pretty good.
They're holding, but we don't have much time.
okay. All the doors are locked and secured.
No breaches out front. I haven't heard a sound. I think the doors will hold.
-Someone ought to get back there.... -Go.
we have a right to know what's going on!
Those things killed Leroy.
Bob Miller, my best customer, was hanging from my ceiling.
what am I doing on the radio?
I've been telling you about the invasion for months.
Am I talking to myself? I'm here for you.
-You saying those things are aliens? -You're not listening....
Mom, they have to be quiet.
Those were big-ass spiders! Really big ones!
Shut up!
Let's listen to the kid. For once.
Go on, Mike.
First of all, the spiders are attracted to vibrations. That includes:
Loud noises, movement and talking.
So everybody needs to stay as calm and quiet as possible.
-why didn't you call in the Army? -where have you been, wade?
-The phones are dead. -Does anyone have a cell phone?
Use mine. You have to climb a mountain for a signal.
Use the antenna on the mall. That's how I get my broadcast out.
-Have someone climb and get a signal. -That's a great idea.
Be a hero.
I'll do it.
No, Sam. Let me.
I got your back.
-Great. -I've fought aliens my whole life.
About time I busted up a few of them. Face to face.
They're not aliens. They're spiders!
Those of you without weapons, arm yourselves...
...with anything that you can dig up. Then we'll meet back here.
Norman?
-Show me the way to the roof. -where?
-The roof, Norman! -The roof. The roof !
-How's it looking? -Roof's clear.
Be careful, chris.
Thanks, Sam.
I've been trying to say something to you, so I'll just say it.
-okay, take these. You'll need them. -Perfume?
Spiders have a developed sense of smell. The perfume could confuse them.
-Great. we die, we die smelling nice. -Nobody is dying, okay?
That's the one who busted up my trailer!
I bet you he's their leader.
come on.
-You have the phone? -I thought you did.
You said you had it.
Yeah, I got it. Sorry.
I got confused.
Damn it.
-I got a signal! -Great. Now, how about dialing?
911 emergency.
I'm calling from Prosperity, Arizona. My name is chris Mccormack.
I know how this sounds, but believe me. It's the truth.
our town is being attacked by giant spiders. we need military intervention.
-This is not Dial-a-Joke. -This is not a crank.
-I'm hanging up on you. -Don't hang up. Please!
It's an invasion!
They're here! They're here!
That's what I've been telling you!
I don't know if those gates will hold.
I have to find wade.
Has anyone seen wade?
He went through a door back there.
Between the Sewing center and the cinemaplex?
He's going into the mines through the storage room.
Take everyone who's hurt and the kids to that storage room.
Norman, show them. Now! Go!
Here we go!
Get ready.
-Get ready! -oh, yeah!
Got one!
Everybody get to the basement, now! Hurry!
Pete, come on!
Go, Sam! Get downstairs! I'll find another way out!
Guys, go!
come on!
-It's locked! -what?
He must have locked it. we're trapped.
Get back! You eight-legged freaks!
-My God! There's so many! -Harlan, get up here!
I'm afraid of heights.
Heights? Are you afraid of spiders?!
-come on, Harlan! -I'll try to lead them away.
You'll what?
Defend the human race.
what are you, insane?
You'll never get that anal probe near me!
Harlan, no!
You know what? Let's just go back inside.
Locked.
Plan B?
I tell you what. we're just gonna run away.
Yeah?
okay.
Bret?
wade?
-what are you doing here? -I can't find my way out.
You won't believe me, but I've been chased by giant spiders.
Down here?
A second ago they were right behind me, but I think I lost them.
No, you didn't.
Go! Go, go!
Sam!
-chris, where are you? -Sam, I'm up here!
what the hell are you doing up there?
-Just chilling. Get me out of here! -Back up.
wait. You push and I'll pull.
Ashley?
Mom?
wade locked the door.
-They're all around us! -Everybody hide. Take cover!
Bret?
Behind you!
-Bret? -Ashley.
-we better hurry! -Everybody, let's move. come on!
Into the mines. Hurry!
There's gotta be flashlights or something.
Grab one of these.
cool, a miner's helmet. I always wanted to try one.
-can you lead these people out of here? -You bet. come on, everybody! Let's go.
This should hold him.
I hope.
How do we get out?
we follow the power lines to a generator. They're always near an exit.
-come on! Not that way. Hurry! -This way.
Follow the kid!
Hurry up!
You went back for that? Lose that thing. It'll slow us down!
This saved my ass so many times today!
what's that smell?
wasn't me.
Methane gas. A lot of it.
Listen up!
The slightest spark or an open flame can blow us all to hell.
So be careful. Let's go.
cables lead to a generator. Follow the cables.
cables.
way to a generator.
You guys!
It's this way!
Follow the cables. The cables lead to a generator.
Follow the cables.
Norman! Somebody save him!
No gunfire! No gunfire! It will set off the gas!
catch!
come on, hurry! Into the tunnel. Follow the cables.
Let's go!
People, hold on!
what the hell is this?
-what's going on? -I don't know.
That spider back there, was that the female?
No. That was just another male.
The female is three times as big.
So she's probably still close by, right?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Go back with your sister. Go back with your sister!
-why are you here? -Mom sent me.
-why? -You don't want to know.
we have to do it. It's the only way out.
oh, my God.
what the hell?
what is it?
I think it's alive.
Don't touch it.
Don't....
It's wade.
Bret, just go, okay? Just go.
Let's get him down.
wade.
-I don't feel so hot. -Hold on a second.
Look at the size of that!
what the hell is this place, Mike?
-It looks like an orb weaver den. -Get us out of here.
-I can't. -why not?
Is there a chance that Gladys is still alive?
-It's possible. -Are you crazy?
You'll have to get out without me. Follow the wires.
There's a shed outside with a generator.
-Start it quickly. -what are you up to?
I got an idea.
I get it. Everybody, come on.
Follow the cables. This way. come on.
-Bret, I'll need your bike. -My bike?
-Just do it. -All right, kids, come on.
Leave it there. I've been trying to say this for a while.
-Now? -Yes, I may not get another chance.
-I should've said this a long time ago. -I know.
You beat up my ex because you found out he was cheating.
You couldn't tell me because you didn't want to break up my family.
And you've always loved me.
And if you'd said something, maybe our lives would be different.
Exactly.
Your father told me.
My dad told you?
Now, get moving so you can make it up to me later.
Go on.
That was easy.
Gladys.
This way. Follow me. come on.
Breathe.
You're alive.
You look like an angel.
All that gold.
Gold?
Right behind you.
The Agua Mesa lode. He found it.
we need to find the generator.
Mark, get everybody away from the mines.
Hurry up. Get away from the mines. Get up there.
Mom, what about that one? come on.
I knew he wasn't crazy.
what are you doing?
No, no. No smoking.
we gotta get out of here.
Stand back.
Shoot it! Shoot it!
I'll set off the gas! I can't!
Get back.
Mike, you saved us.
I need this more than you.
-Damn it. why isn't it working? -It needs fuel.
-See? -All right, find gas tanks.
Anything you can find. we need gasoline.
Hurry! Hurry!
-what are you doing? -It'll set off the gas.
Hurry!
-All the gas cans are empty. -we just need one electrical surge.
Keep looking, everybody. Don't give up.
Here, will this work?
Ashley, you're a genius.
Switch. Put this on.
Mom, it worked.
Adios, consuela.
Fire!
Aunt Gladys, are you okay?
Not my mall. Not my mall.
Not the mall. Please, not the mall.
I hope the insurance pays for this.
Let's go! Let's go!
I thought you said 911 didn't believe you.
They didn't.
They listen to my broadcast.
we never miss a show.
we drove from Tucson. It sounded like you needed help.
where are the aliens?
How many times do I have to tell you? They're not aliens, okay?
They're spiders who grew because they ingested toxic waste.
That's a more believable explanation.
I had to drag that barrel out of the water. I got covered in it.
-And your point is? -Point?
See this? All brand new. Brand new growth. check it out. Brand new.
Are you all right?
-Do you smoke? -No.
Good.
Dangerous habit. Disgusting. causes explosions. wish I'd never started.
-Any more people down in those mines? -My aunt was the only one alive.
I checked the other cocoons, but nobody made it.
we got cocoons! Told you it would be worth the ride!
Glad you came back home?
Yeah, I am.
Me too.
That is the story of how the aliens attacked our sleepy town.
To this day, people refuse to believe what happened here.
They'd lead you to believe I would embellish this story.
But we know the truth.
Two things I forgot to tell you.
one: They never did get that probe near me.
And two: As far as chris Mccormack reopening the gold mines...
...and putting everyone back to work....
well, that, my friends...
...is another story altogether.
