SPIDER-MAN-1969-In 1957
teenager Don Glut began making amateur movies featuring the
Frankenstein monster, Dracula, dinosaurs and werewolves. Because
Forrest J Ackerman mentioned him many times in Famous Monsters Of
Filmland, Glut became well known for his home movies even once
getting Glen Strange to reprise the monster in one of his films.
Eventually (and probably illegally) Glut made some featuring
Superman, The Spirit and in his very last, The Amazing Spider-Man.
The effects are laughable (much of his wall crawling and web swinging
are a doll) but still kind of innovative and very entertaining. From
a newspaper headline we learn "Disfigured Scientist Becomes Dr.
Lightening". He wears a metallic head piece to hide his face and
has his henchman kidnap his own daughter. In Bronson Canyon he and
Spider-Man have a showdown. Later Spider-Man webs up his car and the
doctor kills himself. Glut later became a writer and director.
