Hello everyone. I'm hoping you can help me find the title of a made-for-tv movie from the 70's that my mom has told me about. All she remembers is that a man is harassing his wife and there's one scene where he puts a tarantula in her house and she finds it on the wall.

I'd love to watch this but need the title. Of course it's possible that the movie is from the early 80's and not the 70's.


Much thanks!

Alright so I'm picturing Fear, but instead of pounding on the door, the girl turns around and sees a Tarantula. Scene.

Do you have any other details at all?

Hi Rich. No, that's all she remembers. I can't find a movie from the 70's or 80's on IMDB titled Fear.

Cool, well I assume it's the 70s, there seemed to be a shift from stalker-ish boyfriends in the 70s to kids dying of horrible disease in the 80s with regards to TV movies.

I haven't seen either but if anyone here has seen Are You Alone in the House or Somebody's Watching Me, maybe it was in there?

I just watched Are You in the House Alone (1978) last night on Youtube and it's not in there. Dennis Quade is in it. youtube.com/watch?v=jqPv62lZv94

Welcome to the forum, BRN. It could be Honeymoon With a Stranger (1969), but I don't recall a scene with a tarantula.

Thanks for the welcome! I looked that movie up and it doesn't sound like the one I'm looking for.

I found the movie. Someone on another forum said it's called Deadly Intentions, a two-part movie from 1985. It's based on a true story/true crime book of the same title. The tarantula scene is 39:20 minutes into it. I just watched it on Youtube, youtube dot com/watch?v=n2I_6GMpwto

Dunno if this counts, but just FYI linking to stuff that may or may not be pirated is frowned upon. Just a heads up. Glad you found what you were looking for.

It's says the movie was 'released' into the public domain. Why is linking to it frowned upon?

My answer in all made-for-tv movie threads is either Bad Ronald, Born Innocent or Pray for the Wildcats.

Welcome BRN I'm glad you found what you were looking for but having a new member who didn't ask a dumb question or is capable of searching for his own answers really takes the fun outta this place. We ask in the future this does not happen again.

You have been warned.

I just watched Bad Ronald about three weeks ago. Unique story.

Mine is always The Burning Bed. That's the only made-for-TV movie I can ever think of.

Hey OP, are you sure it isn't The Burning Bed?

What, no love for "Carter's Army" or "Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring"?

(Does anyone but me remember that last one--when Sally Field was squeezing out one last teenager role well into her 20s?)

No, it's Deadly Intentions. Go to the link I posted to see that scene.
