First, the title should have been “Eight-legged Freaks” with a hyphen. The title, as is, means eight freaks who have legs.

Anyway, I am looking for a promo for this film that features a guy at the end giving a testimonial who is yanked out of frame by one of the monsters. That guy is one of my roommates and he would like to see the promo. Please provide a lead if you have one,

Does this include the scene: [Eight Legged Freaks TV Promo](https://vimeo.com/16917587)

It might be modified from the original movie promo, but there is some guy getting yanked away a bit before the TV channel and air time part. Look at around 14-15 seconds in.

Wasn’t this a movie a little over 20 years ago?

Thanks for the lead, TriPolar but my roommate was not in the movie. His scene was shot for the promo specifically.

You’ve probably found the trailers like this [YouTube version](https://youtu.be/RvEZ32oFtTw). Trailers sometimes include scenes that aren’t in the movie but I don’t know if something shot after the movie is completed just for promotion would be in a trailer. Good luck on your search.
