Spider was a weirdly one-dimensional story with Ralph Fiennes performing pretty well within it. For the length of the movie, I kept waiting for an additional twist or slowly-building theme to make itself known, but it never did; the end result was something oddly simplistic. I remain a little baffled by it.
Zombie Nightmare was extra slow, even by MST3K standards. However, it had some of the most quick, succinct, and cute host segments I can remember in the Mike era; perhaps this was because the movie ran a little long. I support this. This movie did one thing, and that was to make me resolve to refer to all drive-in food establishments as the 'Twist & Crème.' (I think that's the right 'e' variant.) Oh, it did have Adam West, which was pretty good. He was involved in a great arbitrary ending, too. Oh, oh, and it had a teenage hooligan throw cold spaghetti at his mom. That was a winner.
