I only saw a quick clip of it way back when and I’ve never been able to track it down. It featured a huge human head scuttling around on spider-legs. It was done in a weird faded Fatal Frame kind of head and the head was Asian, if I remember. ---

If it included a human torso, it could be a dryder–essentially a cursed Drow elf, from AD&D, and also used in the MMORG _Everquest,_ possibly under a different name. ---

John Carpenter’s _The thing_? [Some images here](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22the+thing%22+head&safe=off&biw=1312&bih=554&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=w05QVKyCN6LTygPFpoJQ&ved=0CB0QsAQ). Not Asian, though. Not all the images there are from that movie, but maybe one of them is your scene. ---

[Arachne](http://lparchive.org/Shadow-Hearts-Covenant/Update%20142/9-009_arachne.jpg) from Shadow Hearts 2 ? (though other enemies from these games would qualify based on the description. The \*SH \*series has the most wonderfully fucked up monster design(er))
