Interesting... did you know Gila and Attack of the Killer Shrews was made back-to-back by Ray Kellogg? So, with the skype room, can you hear people's comments well? and is there a delay? Cause Gila sucks, & without lampooning is a bore. I might recommend a better film, or the MST2K version instead.
Tarantula is a decent 50's film, maybe a bit overseen for a film with not a lot of re-watchability, IMO.
I recommend better &/or lesser seen giant monster films:
20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) - Ray Harryhausen does some of his finest stopaction animation.
Pacific Rim (2013) - excellent Del Toro film
Destroy All Monsters (1968) - best Godzilla sci-fi film
Jurassic Park (1993) - good movie, been a long time for most.
Godzilla Vs the Smog Monster (1971) - rich, dark, psychedelic Godzilla film, just read it's Roger Ebert's fav G film.
Monsters (2010) - film won Gareth Edwards directorial dibs on Godzilla2014
Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris (1999) - 91% rottentomatoes, good FX & story

What does Nippon version mean?
I myself have not yet seen either of those films, I am not sure if I own them. I do think I own Killer Shrews. So far, we have been using imeetings. There is video/audio component. If you at least have the equipment, you are able to use live chat (like a chatroom). There is a delay for the speaking part. It seems like the program crashes alot though and I have only been on with me and ChronoGrl, so not sure how it works with more than two people practically speaking.
I have seen Tarntula, but it has been a while, I need to watch it again.
Of all the others, the only one I have actually seen is Jurassic Park, which I absolutely loved (do not consider it horror at all though). Clearly, I need to watch more monster movies.
And, to clarify, ChronoGrl is not actually doing this, this is just a suggestion for next year.
