An Original 1965 Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10 1/4" [21 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Ein Toter Hing Im Netz (released in the U.S. in 1962 as "It's Hot in Paradise", and re-edited with new footage and released in 1965 as "Horrors of Spider Island"), the 1960 Fritz Bottger German/Yugoslavian sexploitation movie ("Blood-Curdling! Hair-Raising! Spine Chilling!"; "One bite from a giant spider turned him into the world's most hideous monster with a diabolical lust to KILL!"; "The monster is terror-crazed by his deathly fear of fire!"; "He strangles his victims with his mammoth claws!") starring Alexander D'Arcy (billed as "Alex D'Arcy"), Barbara Valentin (billed as "introducing Barbara Valentine"), Rainer Brandt, Harald Marsch, Elfie Wagner, and Dorothee Parker. Note that this was a low budget 1960 German/Yugoslavian sex movie about seven beautiful girls who crash land on a desert island with one man. I have not been able to find out the full story on this movie, but it seems that it was first released in the United States in 1962 as "It's Hot in Paradise", as it was originally filmed, and that in 1965, additional material was filmed that involved the man being bitten by a radioactive spider (shades of Spider-Man!), which turned him into a "half man/half spider", apparently with terrible special effects, and this massively re-edited version of the movie was titled "Horrors of Spider Island"! We have never auctioned any posters from 1962 with the title "It's Hot in Paradise", but we have auctioned lobby cards, stills, and a pressbook. We are listing "Horrors of Spider Island" and "It's Hot in Paradise" as two separate titles, because of the three year gap between the two, and because this one is massively re-edited from the other. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10 1/4" [21 x 26 cm]. Condition: good. There are creases in the top left, with small tears. Learn More about condition grades
