Question I seen a movie when I was a little girl back in the 1960's about some giant like spiders(not sure about the kind of monster)somewhere like the himalayans and the monster was killing people that were on a ski lift. This is about as much as I can remember but it has been on my mind for years and I didnt know where to go to find the answer, can you please help I would love to see this movie again!
Answer Hi Gale,
I think the movie you are looking for is called "Beast From Haunted Cave", which was released in 1959.
imdb.com plot summary:
In a skiing station in Dakota, a gang of criminals leaded by Alexander "Alex" Ward (Frank Wolff) plans the heist of golden bars from a small bank. While the lover of Alex, Gypsy Boulet (Sheila Carol), goes to an isolated cabin with the ski instructor Gil Jackson (Michael Forest), a time bomb explodes a cave to divert the attention of the locals and the gangsters steal the gold. But the explosion releases a spider-like monster and due to a storm, the group becomes trapped in Gil's cabin and threatened by the creepy beast.
