FX creators working on last-minute details of the spider from the finale of the IT TV miniseries, 1990. The spider puppet was dubbed "the Alaskan King Spider monster" by the cast, at over 12 feet long with 15 foot long spked legs. It featured a fully mechanized head with radio-controlled mechanical components. Inside the body was mouldmaker Brent Baker, puppeteering the creature's arms. The legs were immobile and the creature could be raised or lowered through an offscreen support system. The legs themselves were detatchable so they could be used for insert shots.
