Kingdom of the Spiders Blu-ray: A Cult Horror Classic with William Shatner

This 1977 cult classic, starring none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, is finally getting the special edition treatment it deserves.

Unleash the Eight-Legged Terror

In Kingdom of the Spiders, William Shatner plays veterinarian Rack Hansen, who finds himself in a small Arizona town facing an unimaginable threat: an intelligent, venomous horde of tarantulas. These aren’t your average creepy crawlies; they’re organized, relentless, and hungry for human flesh. As the spider attacks escalate, Rack and a local entomologist (Tiffany Bolling) must race against time to save the town from becoming a giant, silken tomb.
