Ray Harryhausen teams up with his hero Willis O'Brian (King Kong).
Fantastic combination of technical effects here. Producer Merian C. Cooper received an Academy Award for best visual effects which he gave to Willis O'Brian.

A scientist experimenting with magnetic fields causes insects and spiders to grow and turn in to man-eaters. The disruption in magnetic fields is also noticed by a visitor from space..
No stop-motion here. The insects are real and enlarged for the screen.
Another film, which like 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' has a warning from outer space to be mindful of what we do on Earth.
