Eight Legged Freaks is one of those movies that screams absurdity, but is fun to watch. The tagline: Let the Squashing Begin, speaks for itself. Released in 2022, this movie reminds us of Night of the Lepus!

 

Years ago we made these spider snacks for the first time, and have made them almost every Halloween since. They are easy, and even the youngest picky eater will like them.  The filling can be anything that will hold the pretzel “legs”.

Scary Spider Snacks

Spiders are not my thing, but these guys are cute and taste delicious and super easy to make! Halloween themed and a perfect size for a pre-party snack or to pair with your next movie night with Eight Legged Freaks. BRB. I need to get some Raid.
