Here at Rapid Pest Solutions, we love Halloween and it’s only two weeks away! What better way for us to celebrate than to list some of the best scary movies that involve BUGS!

5. Them! (1954) – The movie Them! uses the premise of atomic bomb testing as having caused ants to mutate into giants that eat humans. These giant ants live under the city and come out to capture children. This movie is from the 50’s so it might seem a little underwhelming by today’s standard but it is still a classic of that time.
4. Arachnophobia (1990) – While not super scary perse this movie does feature the gross factor as well as the jump scare. When a South American spider makes its way to the U.S. and mates with our domestic spiders a deadly crossbreed is created. John Goodman as the exterminator is worth the watch.
3. The Swarm (1978) – In the 80’s you probably heard about the ‘African Killer Bees’ that were headed toward the United States. I know that as a grade schooler I was terrified of them killing me and my family. This movie surely fed into that fear as it depicts the killer bees forming swarms that kill thousands of people in numerous cities.
2. Bug (2006) – This movie is full of suspense and will truly make your skin crawl. Finding bugs in the bed is only the beginning, the rest is a nightmare!
1. The Fly (1986) – I consider this a horror classic. If you haven’t seen it, you need to. A scientist that accidentally combines himself genetically with a fly seemed really far fetched when this movie came out. The way technology is developing this might be something more likely than we imagined.
