This is the last amateur film from Donald F. Glut, as they had got him enough attention that he was able to start working professionally as a writer and, later, director.
William G. Obbagy has a cameo role as a bystander.
" Spider-Man" was not only Glut's last super hero movie, but it was also Glut's last amateur film of any kind.
" Spider-Man" featured a costume Glut had worn at the 'World Con' held in Cleveland and which Glut had hoped might sell a television show Glut was pitching to Stan Lee, one of Spideeman's creators.
The film featured famous nostalgia author Jim Harmon and also had a cameo by William G. Obbagy , president of the International Bela Lugosi Fan Club (who also shot all the still photos for this movie). It enjoyed one 'theatrical' play, slipped by Glut into an evening of USC student films at the Fairfax Theatre in Los Angeles.
Three super-hero movies planned for1963 were "The Adventures Of The Black Belt" (Karate-based original character), "Commando Yank" and "The Blue Beetle". None of these got made (nor did "Torpedoman Strikes", an intended USC student film for which Glut wrote the script in 1965, featuring an original flying hero).
"Frankenstein vs. the Wolf Man", "Juvenile Jekyll" (aka Teenage Hyde), "Lost Island", "Superman at the Earth's Core", "Teenage Rebels", "To Be Frank", and "Valley of the Dinosaurs" were movies planned but never made.
The spider-man costume used in this film was originally made three years earlier by Glut's mother, Julia B. Glut for Glut to wear to the World Science Fiction Convention.
