'No way I could watch it': Creepy cult classic keeps this Calif. town on the map
""People still really care about this movie""
""Our home was in the movie," "When we moved here, people would drive by the house and take pictures," "We put two and two together and connected the movie to the town.""
""There are people out there that visit movie locations. That's their thing, they put it on YouTube," "It's kind of fun.""
Cambria, a coastal Central Coast town, served as the stand-in for the fictional Canaima in the film Arachnophobia. The town will mark the film's 35th anniversary with a special screening, a short documentary on the production, a Q&A, and memories from locals. The film cast starred Jeff Daniels as Dr. Ross Jennings, who moved his family from San Francisco to a small town, only to face an infestation of spiders. Local residents continue to embrace the film's legacy, with homes used in the movie attracting visitors and online posts, and the Cambria Film Festival noting the ongoing attention.
