This was so long ago I'm not even sure I haven't mixed several films together. It may have been one of Vincent Price's films--and I think the story goes that a man gets the hands of a great pianist grafted on to his arms, or perhaps a great pianist has the hands of a murder grafted on...but it doesn't matter. Wasn't Peter Lorrie in this too? I just remember that hand running around the room in the dark shadows...and him trying to burn it in the fire--poking it with the iron poker...I can't tell the rest....even now it terrifies me! I don't know how they did it but the thing moved like a spider--ooooohhhhhhhh creapy!

I've you've studied the bio-mechanics of spiders you'll know that the reason we find them so creapy is their motion is unlike any others in the animal kingdom: it's like they have capicators, and they "burn up" all their energy in bursts, and then have to wait a moment to "recharge". That's why you see them "spurt" across the floor, and then stop suddenly.
Ya, quantum spiders!
