This is not a review of The Giant Spider but an informative post about a serious issue with The Movie Database regarding independent movies. I'm putting it here as this is the most popular of Christopher Mihm's movies and so hopefully has the best chance to be seen by like-minded viewers.
I got an email this morning from The Movie Database informing me that Christopher Mihm's The Phantom Lake Kids in the Beast Walks Among Us had been deleted due…
