The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell Peter Parker.
The Big Picture Long before the MCU got its stranglehold on the box office, Tobe Hooper, director of the classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, very nearly directed his own Spider-Man film. Yes! Really! The same filmmaker who envisioned Leatherface and his family of cannibals savagely murdering a group of teenagers like they were farm animals almost had his hand at one of Marvel's most iconic superheroes.
Hooper's involvement makes a lot more sense now, and the director's knack for creating truly horrific images would have lent a remarkable approach to the character. The problem is, Stan Lee suggested a script be rewritten based on his outline, which was expectedly more faithful to his comics and focused more on Spider-Man's actual origin. Tobe Hooper shortly departed the project, and the film took an entirely different direction before getting stuck in development hell once again.
The script, penned at Cannon's request by Outer Limits creator Leslie Stevens, followed photographer Peter Parker, who is transformed by the diabolical Doctor Zork into the titular arachnid . See, mad old Doctor Zork would have formed an army of mutants, which Peter would have been meant to lead in their quest for world domination.
'Spider-Man' Is the Most Body-Horror-Adjacent Comic Book Series In a way, no comic book series is more appropriate for a body-horror film than Spider-Man, with particular consideration given to the many appearances of Venom. Transformation via symbiote takeover is as body-horror as it gets, even if no Spider-Man film has yet had the boldness to depict it as twisted and disturbing as it probably should be.
Disney and Marvel would undoubtedly be taking a risk by letting high-profile directors give their unique vision to these well-protected IPs. But they would also be doing something fantastic, letting artists turn tried and true stories into something entirely novel. In the case of Tobe Hooper's Spider-Man, it simply wasn't meant to be. In a different universe, maybe, but here we've only got our speculation.
