Does anyone know the name of a movie that has Vincent Price in it & it has a scene where him & some other guy are watching a woman about to be eaten or attacked by a spider? They showed the scene in the movie Little Monsters on a tv & I really want to find out the title so I can see this movie. Thanks for your time & have a nice day!

The movie is called The Fly, from 1958.
Price and a detective are watching the scientist scream "Help Me" while a spider is going in for the kill. The scientist was part fly from a bad experiment.
They play it on TCM or FMC once in a while, it was just on the other night.

The Fly:
It's been said again and again that this is a good horror film. A Very Good film. But it is more than that.
I can still hear with my mind's ear (is that right?) the sound of the hydraulic press "WHUMP" and the echo. Then again that "WHUMP" ... is there another sound experience that reverberates through a movie like that?
Sure, surround sound, THX, all that tech stuff, but the sound as the manifestation of the crime that encircles this story, the horror as the mind tries to put together the images that (finally) is seen in a flashback as this scene bookends the start and "finish" of the plot.
The inner struggle of the scientist as he fights with his human hand to control the spasms of his "fly" arm is both horrible and heart-wrenching.
The shock as the cloth is torn away from the scientist's head... the fly's POV shot with facets and mirrors of the the screaming face of the scientist's poor wife! The scene at the spider's web as the shrill voice begs "help me... help me"
The horror of murder of a man/thing and a thing/man being shown and even compared in sharp (but obvious) dialogue.
You MUST see this and experience the earlier days of horror -when classics like this, like "The Thing From Another World," like "It, the Terror From Beyond Space" (the original model of Alien) exhibit a freshness and a palpable terror that remakes cannot capture, whatever wonderful special effects are thrown in to add to the creepiness. Sure these later gorefest horror films are good. I buy them all the time. But they are a different genre. The Fly with Vincent Price is NOT the same story as The Fly with Jeff Goldblum. It's not really a remake as a retelling.

I think Mike H is right - The Fly is the only Vincent Price movie with a spider scene in it I can think of, trouble is he's made a lot of stuff...

That is Vincent Price's bio on the Internet Movie Database. That's as far as I can take you mate.

It sounds like it could be the "Return of the Fly"
