A remake of an earlier trailer based on my friend Evilgidgit's re-imagining of Little Miss Muffet. The original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMygC5j3c0I -- The music is this excellently creepy rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yugl18XkL2w&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLs76ZitWNjZayv059Fh9t2Q If the original singer is unhappy with this trailer I'll remove it and replace the song. -- The idea, although the genesis is bizarre, does have some merit in my opinion as a sort of horror/period piece. Unknown to most of the world the innocent rhyme Little Miss Muffet is a sanitized version of an actual event in America's past. Lilly Muffet (sometimes known as Little Miss Muffet), the child of a frontier family, is abducted by an enormous queen spider, one of many that live deep in a cave. Their purpose? A slave bride for her son. This practice has gone on many times before and in fact human/spider hybrids wander the darkness below among the giant skittering denizens. The chief difference here is that Lilly's mother isn't willing to let her child be lost and enlists the help of bounty hunters to help her raid the cave and get her daughter back. Think of it as a cross between The Missing (obviously), Eight Legged Freaks, The Descent, and The Searchers. I like the idea of the queen spider and maybe even some of her brood being pretty intelligent. The newer generation when it's mingled with humans has become wily, but there's still some massive mindless spider soldiers to contend with too.
