Interesting facts

The Spider Labyrinth is a 1988 Italian horror film directed by Gianfranco Giagni.

Production

Prior to working on The Spider Labyrinth, director Gianfrano Giagni had worked in radio and television since the mid-1970s. Along with directing music videos he created the music program Mister Fantasy and made the short film Giallo e nero. Producer Tonino Cervi liked Giagni's short and offered him a job to direct his first feature, the horror film The Spider Labyrinth.

The original script for the film was developed by Cervi, Riccardo Aragno and Cesare Frugoni which dated a few years before production started. Giagni felt the script was a bit dated, and got Gianfranco Manfredi in with him to give the film a more modern framing. Their changes in the script changed the location from Venice to Budapest, with a framing storyline filmed in Dallas, Texas.
