The Giant Spider Invasion Plot Summary
What happens in The Giant Spider Invasion from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Davey Perkins, Kevin Brodie, a reporter, heads to the local precinct to chat with Sheriff Jones about a story, but the lawman insists that nothing newsworthy is happening tonight. At the same time, Dan Kester, Robert Easton, instead of keeping a revival appointment his wife Ev Leslie Parrish was expecting him to attend, spends the evening with Helga Christiane Schmidtmer, a waitress with a wary, knowing air. The night takes a sharper turn when Davey picks up his girlfriend Terry Diane Lee Hart, Ev’s sister, from the Kester farm, where Ev is unwisely drowning sorrows in drink. As they drive away, Ev’s inebriation worsens, and she ultimately orders a delivery from Dutch Bill Williams, the café owner, adding another layer to a night already thick with tension.
