If you loved Tarantula, try Creature from the Black Lagoon
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jack Arnold, and they both carry the dread, late night mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tarantula, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Creature from the Black Lagoon is
Deep in the Amazon, a dive into dark waters, a splash of scales. A prehistoric creature lurks, a scientist's fiancée is alone on the boat. It's a relic of a bygone era, still enjoyable on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
