I feel like we don’t talk about the time the web tried to make a movie adaptation of a guest for Mr spider enough. The idea of a fear entity being like “you know what I think we can make this kids book into a movie and make even more fear bucks !” …. I wonder if it ever thought about making a Mr spider action figure?

What if Dexter Banks read t w o Leitner books while seeking his spider movie?

This weekend I listened to Magnus Archives Episode 110, "Creature Feature". And ever since I started to hear this marvellous tale of a film director and his ominous spider film, I felt a connection to something from the library of Jurgen Leitner.

To "A Guest For Mr. Spider", of course. Because it's obviously The Web at work here. Because Big Fucking Spider. Because people vanished, just like people do when reading "Mr. Spider". And the timing makes perfect sense, too, with the book getting destroyed at the end of the statement, and we did not hear any of it again (Jon's own story about it is much earlier, of course). That was the obvious part. And now please hear me out.

What if our poor director read more than one Leitner book? We were told he could nowhere find any hint of the ominous "Spiders Are Eating" movie, so maybe he looked into any book that had some similarity with what he recalled. And a lot of the things he described - an isolated community, a huge creature posing a threat that cannot be fought, people ending their life by suicide - also connect to another book from the library of Jurgen Leitner.

So yes, I think before finding "A Guest For Mr. Spider", Dexter Banks found "Ex Altiora". I know. It's connected to The Vast, not The Web. But I think it has enough to interest Banks. And the timing makes sense, too, with the events of the fateful film production ending in early 2012. Alexia Crawley specifically mentions to have destroyed just one book, which I'm sure was "Mr. Spider", so "Ex Altiora" had up to eleven months of time to somehow get into that Notting Hill Oxfam shop where Dominic Swain found it according to episode 4, "Page Turner".

To me that makes perfect sense. Plus, I really l o v e "Ex Altiora" so I'm happy to give it as many head canon cameos as possible.

Wren, an arachnophobiac, listening to the Magnus archives before bed -

"Oh, "Creature Feature", well, we've just had some Hunt avatars introduced and with a title like that I'm guessing this will be a Hunt episode? Great, my favourite >:) "

It was not a Hunt episode.

I mean, I think it sounds like a Jurgen Leitner book. About spiders. Hm. Glad Jon didn’t have to read this one, anyway. I know he’s not a fan.

i doubt martin has heard the mr.spider tape at this point (iirc, we never get canon confirmation that he ever hears that story) but he read ‘leitner’ and ‘spider’ in the same sentence and his immediate reaction is relief that jon didn’t have to record it

s3 really is the most vocally blatant martin is about his feelings for him before they get together
