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…
