* SpecialEffectsFailure: The footage of the tarantula (which was a real one) is superimposed over that of sets and landscapes. As such, occasionally, you can see the spider reach the end of the film and fade out or (much more rarely) see through it. Mostly, though, it appears as an almost solid black mass.

** A rare instance of this helping a film rather than hurting it, as the effect makes the spider appear almost demonic.

* WhatAnIdiot: Okay, so the MadScientist has a plan to end world hunger by creating giant animals. So he tests his new serum on rabbits, guinea pigs, and a ''freaking tarantula''?
** Later on, TheHero finds a pool of a mystery substance on the ground, surrounded by human bones. So what does he do? He tastes it.

The planes which bomb the spider in the climax are P-80 Shooting Stars rather than F-84 Thunderjets

* NightmareFuel: The reveal of the mutated man. Quite unexpected for a film called 'Tarantula'.
** The creature itself. It fits perfectly with the darkness, appearing as some kind of shadow beast. And make what you will of its cricket-like noises, but don't you think they sound downright HATEFUL?
** The trailer is also a bit much. Makes good use of ominous narration, terrifying music, and that one shot of the giant Tarantula crawling across a hill. And that trilling just keeps getting louder...
