1950s science fiction
There was one called The Monolith Monsters where the monsters were some kind of giant growing crystals from space. If you touch one, it sucks out all the water in your body.
In the opening song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff) sings "I know Leo G. Carroll/was over a barrel/when Tarantula took to the hills."
Yes, Tarantula was a pretty decent giant-insect movie. I also liked it because it featured Leo G. Carroll. In the 1960s t.v. series The Man From U.N.C.L.E., starring Robert Vaughan and David McCallum as the two spies, he played the boss. Sort of the equivalent of M in the James Bond movies. Carroll plays a similar part in Hitchcock's "North by Northwest."
