>Cannon Pictures' THE SPIDER-MAN (1985)
DIRECTOR: Tobe Hooper ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre")
WRITER: Leslie Stevens ("The Outer Limits")
>ID badge photographer Peter Parker is exposed to radiation by a mad scientist and transformed into a monstrous "Spider-Man". Upon learning that the mad scientist is creating an army of mutants to conquer the world, Peter confronts the monsters in an underground laboratory, ultimately causing its collapse and sacrificing himself to kill the mad scientist and his abominations.
In the 1980's, Marvel Comics was facing bankruptcy and sold the Spider-Man movie rights to Cannon Pictures to keep themselves afloat. Stevens wrote the script without any references to Spider-Man, and believed the character to be a tragic figure, "like the Wolfman". Stan Lee vehemently objected to Steven's draft, which was scrapped in favor of a proper adaptation of the comics.
