‘The Spider’ – Short Film Starring Chandler Riggs Imagines Spider-Man as a Body Horror Nightmare

Known for his role as Carl Grimes on “The Walking Dead,” Chandler Riggs is back this month in the brand new fan film The Spider, which just shattered 1 million views on YouTube.

It’s not hard to see why, as the 9-minute short imagines Spider-Man as a Cronenbergian body Horror movie! You can watch The Spider down below to join the million+ other viewers.

Chandler Riggs plays a new version of Peter Parker in the short from writer/director Andy Chen, and his origin story is much the same as we’ve seen before. Peter gets bitten by a spider, and he starts to realize that he’s gained some pretty wild super-powers as a result.

The Spider starts off innocently enough, with Riggs’s Peter Parker taking to the skies like Toby Maguire and Tom Holland before him. But it’s not long before things, well, take a turn…

This particular version of Spider-Man doesn’t merely become a spider by putting on a fancy superhero costume. No, he literally BECOMES A MAN-SPIDER in the most gruesome way.

The Spider features a gnarly creature suit design and fabrication by Alen Stubbs & Sci-Fi Studios, and you’ll have to watch the short for yourself to see just how nasty it gets.

Oh and be sure to watch through the end credits…
