Giant spider! That rubbery-looking thing scared the bejabbers out of me on more than one occasion, and aside from the episode that was included a Beatles parody (the Bugs? the Mosquitos?) and some generic bumbling/hat-slapping/hammock-spinning, that's about all I remember. And something about sugar beets making people walk around really really fast. Also, while I'm free-associating-slash-Touretty: Bricco and Stuckface! I second that Ahhh! Giant spider!

Giant spider! I feel so vindicated. (I didn't get that far, obviously.) Though now I wonder if I could have conflated "The Sound of Quacking" (running low on food+dreams) with "The Big Gold Strike" (Gilligan falling into a hole). Ahhh! Giant spider! I feel so vindicated.

Dude, you didn’t tell me. I don’t usually go to that.

This is a good development. As for Gilligan's Island, it's one of those shows that I saw in endless reruns as a kid. I feel like I left a lot of those shows behind and just haven't thought about them at all in ages, but looking at the episode guide, I realize I've seen probably most of them. A few I particularly recall... Home Sweet Hut; New Neighbor Sam; They're Off and Running; My Fair Gilligan; Beauty Is as Beauty Does (must have seen that one 20 times); Will the Real Mr. Howell Please Stand Up?; Allergy Time; Mr. and Mrs.???; Up At Bat; Pass the Vegetables, Please; Man with a Net; Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow; All About Eva; The Second Ginger Grant; Bang! Bang! Bang!; and Gilligan, the Goddess. I really recall that last one. That and Hi-Fi Gilligan. Look at all the Russians, Russian spies, etc. ! The giant spider is in The Pigeon. And as I sit here thinking about all this, the clearest subconscious memory I have of the show is of the laugh track, now playing along in my head. I think I saw all of this on the old WPIX. Those were the days of ads for Sunny Day day-camp (I think that's what it was called), (Phil Rizzuto for) The Money Store, and yes--Garden State Brickface and Stucco.

The giant spider is in The Pigeon.

We have confirmation of Gilligan into a pit, which I'm inclined to construe as supporting evidence. Perhaps the dream sequence I remember was cut from the episode to make room for more commercials at some point in the syndication cycle. That's almost plausible, ain't it? Mr. Villain! I like the sound of that. Lemme just put on my black hat. And my <a href="http://www.scottmcknight.com/dl/mtrail.mp3" rel="nofollow">Jack Elrod</a> stippling. Hmm.

When I was a (nearly TV-free) kid, I thought Gilligan's Island was a scary show because each of the three times I saw it, there was a creepy dream sequence that gave me nightmares. The vampire episode 69 is the only one I recognize for sure. I also have a vivid memory of an episode in which the islanders construct a simple deadfall, which Gilligan of course gets stuck in. He falls asleep and dreams that he's been there so long he's starved to death, and proceeds to hover around haunting the castaways (my memory is attempting to supply A Christmas Carol/It's a Wonderful Life allusions, but I can't swear to those, logical as they seem. Did I manufacture this out of whole cloth, or did Steven Bailey miss a doozy? I also vaguely recall a giant spider, but that could have easily fit in the caveman dream from episode 93.
