This is perhaps the most exciting build to date. The script for The Adventures of Dash Cloudrider referred to a device called a “painulator” with no physical description, only its purpose. As the signature prop of Tarantula, a henchman of the evil Lord Galdar, and entrenched in a world of retro tech, the inspirations were solid. After pitching the idea to the director, I had a mere two weeks to bring the instrument of torture to life. 

Supplies were almost entirely all second-hand, aka garbage, with the exception of the plumber strapping claws, fangs fashioned onto a dollar-store handheld fan, and worbla and marbles for the internally-lit “spider-eye dome.”
