Some of the risk for cash shows on tv use all kinds of multi-legged critters to get people to give up. QUESTIONS A) From film, shows, books or even real life … what was the most horrific (physically or mentally) use of BUGS on a human subject? B) Has that ever been used by "villains" on the gaming table? Perhaps to rush a rescue attempt? Dan
PS. By the way, did you know that common tiny hyperactive jumping spiders occasionally find temporary shelter in human ears? I guess they think it's safe there from everything, like human fingers and other prods. I get the feeling that writers and artists got some of their inspiration from tales of similar encounters. A few Bond movies also include the use of BUGS to extract information.

The Star Trek movie returning Khan (really, the only decent ST movie, but I digress…) had Khan insert a rather loathsome critter into Chekhov's ear. He got better.
But it was still one of the creepiest movie scenes I can remember. |

And don't get me started on Winston Smith's rat mask. Also used on Gendry in Gsme of Thrones. |

Winston Yes. That scene with the Ceti Eel is definitely a classic example of what I mean: YouTube link Dan |

1984, the main character got his head stuck in a cage with rats. Not bugs, but nasty. Bugs in the ear is really creepy, probably because they are big enough to see, the ear's small enough that you can't get them out, and the bugs are INSIDE instead of at foot level where they can be squished…like they are supposed to be. |

Stryderg And just imagine being strapped down with those little hairy spiders moving about inside your ears! They don't do any harm, but they would definitely tickle, and eventually freak people out if left in there long enough. :) Dan

Wrath of Khan was the first one I thought of. Second was Damnation Alley (poor Paul Winfield…) |

The little wigglies that are in a corpse that has been laying in a rice paddy for 3 or 4 days always gave me the shivers. PS: Dan are you sure your meds are OK? I am wondering where you come up with some of your questions  |
| Cacique Caribe | 20 May 2018 8:04 a.m. PST |
LOL. It's not the meds (this time). It's my sleep schedule. I'm tired but can't sleep. :( Dan
PS. But I blame Tango's previous thread for this one: :)

Just put out some ant traps in prep for the annual spring "invasion". Or attempted invasion … if the traps work as well as they normally do.  |

Spiders eat the more obnoxious bugs. But I admit that I kill Hobo Spiders on sight (they're responsible for about half the "brown recluse" bites, nasty things) |

In the ear? Flood the ear with hydregen peroxide--it'll bubble those suckers right up to the top! |

Capncarp My Dad says that's exactly what they used to do back when he was growing up in Puerto Rico, in the 1930-40s. Well, before he enlisted in Spring of 1941 and got sent to the Panama Canal and had to learn about a whole new repertoire of vicious bugs and other critters. :) Dan |
