Giant Spider Attack - Lost in Space

[@jond1965]

That spider sounds like a tie fighter… loved this show as a kid

[@Weatherman40312]

😂

[@seeled558]

Yeah I noticed that sound effect also. I have jokingly referred to it as the “TIE spider”😂

[@Weatherman40312]

@seeled558 🤣

[@George-pp2hr]

It's very possible this sound was used for Star Wars Tie Fighters. It uncanny it sounds exactly like a Tie Fighter with some help from Ben Burt sound designer. Music score by Johnny Williams back then. Some of the eerie music by Bernard Herrmann.🙂✌️🇭🇲🦘 From Australia.

The way Dr. Smith screamed...just too cool

[@Dennatron]

Not his usual"Oh dear"

[@johnhourigan6049]

The first season of Lost In Space was undoubtedly the best, as seasons two and three got increasingly ridiculous and played for laughs.

[@dkuhs]

I agree

[@Howyaduing]

Who could forget “Moisture! I need Moisture!!!”

[@johnhourigan6049]

@@dkuhs Even as a kid, I thought those two seasons got increasingly dumb.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

I don't feel they were played for laughs at all. The anti matter universe for example. But yes, Obviously there was a real change, the tone was far more zanily extravagant and went to being outlandishly operatic rather than ground based (basically when it was on color). I loved all the seasons.

[@Deephouse_Gent66]

Absolutely agree. I've always felt the same way!

[@markw208]

“The Keeper” is Michael Rennie, Klaatu from The Day the Earth Stood Still. He got stuck playing characters in science fiction movies and TV. He was in an episode of Perry Mason and he was outstanding

[@nickmitsialis]

I heard Rennie was quite ill at the time he acted in this show. YEARS ago, I heard he had throat cancer but I can find no verification of that.

[@Jake-u2o]

One of the most "Handsome" and "Distinguished" actors of our time !!!

[@Docjonel]

Loved him TDTESS. Wish he'd had more roles worthy of his talents. He had such a presence.

[@m.scottreeder]

Michael Rennie also starred in the movie “The Devil’s Brigade”. It was a WWII movie based on a true story, and it has an all-star cast. Even Archie Bunker is in that 1968 movie.

[@Jake-u2o]

@@m.scottreeder Cool :) I will look it up !!!

[@brianvector]

That giant spider looks so real. The leg movement was totally natural and absolutely authentic.

[@Hydrnaught]

Closing that sun roof was a must, I guess.

[@thylacine1154]

So much great TV entertainment when we were kids! 🚀 Then we had the Saturday morning cartoons to look forward to...🤸‍♂️ 📺

[@rickyrichards7596]

Looney Tunes some of the best.

[@thylacine1154]

​@rickyrichards7596 Yes and as I recall the cartoon lineup started with Looney Tunes followed later by Space Ghost at 10:00 am. Fun times.

[@davidjakiela9553]

I remember it well. TV came back on at 6:00 it was 2 hours of Three stooges followed by bugs Bunny road runner. Then it was space Ghost and Jonny quest. At noon it was American bandstand followed by the soul train. The afternoons were made up of westerns, old war movies and science fiction movies. Only five or six channels but it seemed like there was a lot more to watch.

[@jchoward6451]

Rin Tin Tin and Sky King. I sorta' remember those as noon-time shows. My friends would watch those, but I wanted to be outside playing by then.

[@thylacine1154]

@@jchoward6451 I still remember those Nabisco ads that followed the exciting Sky King intros...

[@JohnKoenig-db8lk]

Klaatu Barada Spider!

[@timeomyside]

The Keeper was one of the few quality stories that almost made Star Trek quality. Michael Rennie was good.

[@stevenmarler5154]

shortly after, the show declined into camp, setting sci-fi back.

[@joseortiz3582]

Is possible it was designed by the same guys.🤔

[@dirceurodrigues7876]

Fez também o Alienígenas no filme dos anos 50/60 "O dia em que a terra parou ". Excelente ator.

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

​@@stevenmarler5154, Well, ST was around by that point.

[@jamesw1659]

This was one of the better episodes, but Lost in Space never remotely approached Star Trek quality.

[@dontbakdown6015]

This show was really ground breaking stuff when it first hit TV screens in 1965..used to watch it every saturday night at 6.30pm on channel 10 in Australia..The Keeper possibly being the best episodes from season 1.😊

[@dwayneleigh9]

I totally agree, My favorite was Mr. Nobody. I actually got to hang out with Bob May (the Robot) & Mark Goddard (Don West the Pilot) at a convention in 2003 with my family. This video was hard to watch because I lost my wife to cancer in 2019 of 26 years, I made this video in memory of Bob May & my wife shown holding my little girl when she was 3 years old. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfJqnidfsRpnas

[@jondunmore4268]

3:09 -- That spider claw is nicely embroidered! Looks nice and plush!

[@onenorm1]

Too bad Gort wasn't there to deal with that spider.

[@George-pp2hr]

I've said this on a previous comment. The sound effects for the spider creature are very much like the Tie Fighter Sounds. Seems like someone has the same thought as l have. I've known this for a long time. That's no coincidence sound effect. I wander.....🤫🤔🙂✌️👋🇭🇲🦘 From Australia..

[@clrobertson13]

The two-parter (their only one) with Michael Rennie as The Keeper, was at the top for best episode. Mr. Rennie did such an excellent job, and the story was one of their best. 😁

[@robertodudma2237]

I loved this show when I was a kid, but that spider was ridiculous… 😅😅😅 But at that time, Inwas afraid of it… 😊😊😊

[@marlonwhite8127]

They use that same spider prop in an episode of Gilligan's Island .

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

That’s quite true-you have sharp eyes.

[@joseortiz3582]

Remember as a teen kid in 1967 wishing that big spider had Dr Smith for lunch. That how much I hated him [nothing against actor Jonathan Harris who look played many roles, knew by heart Shakespeare sonnets, & remember him in the Twilight Zone & One Step Beyond].😁😀

[@chrisflaherty8991]

When the first episode of Lost In Space came out the Dr. Smith character wasn't written as an arrant coward.

[@joseortiz3582]

Ok. Appreciated. Greetings!😁

[@Chanticlair47]

I had a friend who was just as self absorbed as Dr. Smith…..he’s not my friend anymore😂

[@Inflec]

My father would have been squarely in your corner regarding Smith being a spider goulash. He saw this episode with me when it was first shown and I thought he was going to throw the TV out the window. His opinion of the series was "It would be an alright show if it wasn't for that guy," Needless to say, he wasn't a big sci-fi fan.

[@andrewsmith-cm9qw]

I absolutely loved this as a kid,when I went to bed at night I used to pretend I was in the spaceship and all the windows had their protective plates in place keeping me safe from attacks.❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@creech444]

If the spider looks familiar it was a warehouse prop, and originally used in the movie "Angry Red Planet"

[@jaymanuel3396]

It looks like the one that appears on Gilligan’s Island. The one in Angry Red Planet looks completely different.

[@georgepeterson9696]

[@airdriver]

3:00. That scream. Even as a kid, it cracked me up.

[@IamKlaus007]

Special effects have come a long way since these wonderful shows.

[@jeffreygreene1042]

That spider monster must have broke the special effects budget for the rest of the year!

[@sueg2456]

Especially as it seems to have 10 legs!

[@tomwheeler2012]

The first season was the best but remember that it was not just Dr. Smith that turned the show into camp comedy. The campy TV Series of Batman came out and was a huge hit. People wanted escape and fantasy to avoid dealing with WW2, Korea, Vietnam, the Communist Scare, Nuclear War, Kennedy Assassination, Hippies, etc and america was still flush with money and jobs from the Post WW2 boom as well as the govt spending on the Korean and Vietnam War. Irwin Allen had a reputation for being cheap...extremely cheap...thats why a lot of the sets were reused scraps from other shows...and Irwin used Dr Smith to rewrite the scripts....so Irwin got a free extra writer. The writers had to come up with a concept for the episode and a barebones script because they knew Dr. Smith would rewrite it. The show became a 3 person show (will, smith and the robot) making everyone else supporting cast...but as Jonathan Harris said....actors hate to be unemployed....and it was a check...and it was easy money

Give me a phaser any day of the week…actually the LIS Laser weaponry was impressive of 1997, 28 years ago, still think of it when I use self checkout scanners at the supermarket.

[@topgeardel]

Lol. I loved this program when I was a kid b/c I loved everything about space on TV. Looking at it today I think what cheap sh*t this was, both props and acting. Michael Rennie went from one of THE best sci-fi movies of all time...The Day the Earth Stood Still in 1951 to junk like this in the goofy 60s.
