Kiss Of The Tarantula is a 1975 horror film that was directed by Chris Munger. The film centers around an introverted, orphaned teenage girl named Susan who has a unique fascination and affinity for tarantulas. She lives with her uncle, a doctor who conducts experiments on animals in his laboratory. Susan's attraction to spiders stems from a traumatic event in her childhood. She witnessed her father's death, who was the local sheriff at the time, when he was attacked and bitten by a tarantula. Since then, Susan has become withdrawn and turned to her collection of pet spiders as her sole source of company and affection.

As the film progresses, Susan begins to realize that her uncle and his laboratory are not what they seem. She discovers that he is performing illegal experiments on human subjects, and when her uncle's assistant tries to blackmail him, he kills him and turns to Susan for help in disposing of the body.

Meanwhile, Susan's classmates at the local high school are brutally murdered one by one. It is revealed that Susan is the culprit, using her pet tarantulas to exact revenge on those who have wronged her.

The film builds to a climax as Susan's uncle discovers her actions and tries to put an end to her killing spree. However, Susan has a powerful ally in her beloved spiders, who viciously attack anyone who threatens her.

Kiss Of The Tarantula is a low-budget horror film that delivers scares and shocks through its unusual premise and gruesome depiction of violence. The film's strengths lie in its unique story and distinctive visual style. In particular, the use of real tarantulas adds a level of eerie realism to the film's visuals.

The film also features strong performances from its cast.

The supporting cast of high school students are also notable, with strong performances from Herman Wallner and Eric Mason.

Overall, Kiss Of The Tarantula is a unique and entertaining horror film that will appeal to fans of the genre. Its combination of psychological tension, gruesome violence, and unusual concept make for an engaging and memorable viewing experience.
