Aracnofobia

The safety of the spiders was paramount throughout the entire production, so for one scene where McClintock (John Goodman) had to spray an arachnid with insecticide, then squash it with his boot, the production went to extreme measures: first, a dummy spider was sprayed, then Goodman donned special boots with a hollowed out sole for the squash shot, so that the spider would just curl up inside and wait for the next take.

When Ross yells for help while he tries to exit the cellar, his mouth doesn't move.
