Cast of curse of the black widow
After creating hit gothic soap opera Dark Shadows writer-producer Dan Curtis went on to rule the scary TV movie scene throughout the Seventies. Beginning with The Night Stalker (1971) and continuing with the likes of Trilogy of Terror (1975) and occasional big screen outings like Burnt Offerings (1976) and House of Dark Shadows (1970), Curtis crafted some of the eeriest moments in television. On the other hand, Curse of the Black Widow is most definitely a lesser effort. The film supposedly started out as a Harlan Ellison project though no trace of the New Wave science fiction author's original story remains in the finished product. If monsters are our fears made flesh it is hard to discern exactly what the lumbering were-spider is meant to represent. The opening scenes come across almost like a satire of the swinging Seventies bar scene, sort of a gender reversed Looking for Mister Goodbar (1977) with a monster. Interestingly all the male victims are instantly intimidated or outright repulsed by Valerie's brazen sexuality even before she transforms into a giant spider. However, Curtis chooses not to pursue this intriguing angle.
Instead, Curse of the Black Widow opts for a familiar combination of melodrama and gothic horror lifted from the tried and true formula of Dark Shadows mixed with the hard-boiled sleuthing of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Alas, the drama is daytime soap opera silly while Franciosa's smarmy detective is not as compelling a character as Carl Kolchak. As a result the core concept comes across as just plain ridiculous. A stumbling narrative drags out what is actually a fairly slight story with far too many time-outs for pointless walks on the beach, drinks over disco or in one instance a scene designed solely for Curtis to show-off his cute little daughter Tracy Curtis' prowess as a child gymnast. Despite Curtis' customary solid production values this is less atmospheric than many scary Seventies TV films.
What this does have going for it is an amazing once in a lifetime cast. Along with soap opera stalwart Donna Mills and the ever-watchable Patty Duke, you have got June Allyson as devoted housekeeper Olga (providing the film's most indelible image), Vic Morrow, Jeff Corey as an unconvincing Native American mystic-cum-arachnid expert, Lost in Space star June Lockhart as the Lockwood sister's catatonic mother (very obviously doubled by a man in one showstopping stunt) and, in a very strange role, comedy legend Sid Caesar. In fact Curse of the Black Widow is full of weird supporting characters, from Caesar's landlord who cranks the indoor heating up to eleven for no obvious reason than to annoy Higbie's annoying secretary (Roz Kelly) to the zookeeper who hates animals (?) and the camp forensic scientist who flirts with our hero. To their credit the cast approach this nonsense with a commendable set of straight faces. Award-winning actress Patty Duke is especially good in an atypical role, particularly in her scenes with June Allyson. Given Duke's own well-known struggles with manic depression it is possible she responded to the script as some kind of allegory but the psychological twist is not as clever as the filmmakers seem to think, leaving viewers with just a dumb-looking rubber spider. Lord knows what fans of The Patty Duke Show made of this.

Curse of the Black Widow premiered on ABC on September 16, 1977, and was rereleased in 1979 under the name Love Trap. The film was directed by the legendary Dan Curtis, who brought us such great classics as Dark Shadow, The Night Stalker, and Trilogy of Terror. The music was composed by longtime Curtis collaborator, Bob Cobert, and had his signature 70s action vibe. The movie was met with mixed reviews with the negatives commenting on the less than realistic special effects and a meandering script and the positive reviews saying it was “a Wonderfully cheesy TV movie-of-the-week”.
I have to say, I really enjoyed the film, but I do understand the critics’ complaints. The special effects were horrible, which they tried to hide with POV shots and weird camera angles working to a certain extent, but anytime we see the spider movie, it is quite obvious that they did not invest a lot of the budget into animatronics. Tony Franciosa was wonderful as Mark. His facial expressions and vocal inflections added a type of quirky light heatedness to the story with a rye sarcastic sense of humor. Many movies of the week are pilots to potential series, and I wouldn’t have minded a series with Mark Higbie investigating supernatural mysteries, but this was not even a consideration. Although I thought the dialogue was mostly believable, the story did wander a bit and could have used some tightening up, but over all I felt it was engaging and fun to watch film. And as a fan of giant insect monster movies, even the really corny ones, this was right up my alley.

Reviews for "The Psychological Impact of the Curse Mark on Sssuke's Character"
- John - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Sssuke curse mark tattoxo stencil. The design looked nothing like the one in the pictures on the website. It was poorly made and didn't stick properly to my skin. It was supposed to be a temporary tattoo, but it started fading after just a few hours. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
- Sarah - 2/5 - The Sssuke curse mark tattoxo stencil was a total letdown for me. The size was way smaller than I expected, and the colors were not as vibrant as shown in the pictures. It also took forever to dry and didn't last long at all. The application process was messy and overall, I found it to be quite a hassle. I wouldn't buy it again.
- Mike - 1/5 - I regret buying the Sssuke curse mark tattoxo stencil. The quality was extremely poor, and it didn't even stick properly to my skin. The design looked distorted and faded within a few hours. I wasted my money on this product, and I would advise others to avoid it as well. There are definitely better options out there.
