I know you're probably thinking "How dare he touch such a creepy, classic piece of movie history!"

But awhile ago, I read an interview with Al Hedison (The Fly himself) where he said he was very disappointed with the spider web scene. He said that when shooting, he was screaming for his life, yelling out in total fear, giving his all to the scene!

When he saw the finished movie, he was a little peeved that they turned him into a chipmunk.
He thought it would have been a better idea to have the chipmunk voice when Price is looking into the web, then during Hedison's close ups, revert back to his regular voice.

Inspired by what he said, I took the "Help Me!" scene, and tried to deepen Hedison's voice when the camera is focused on him in the web.
It doesn't sound exactly like him, it almost sounds like an old man, which is almost fitting, since the fly itself has lived almost its full life span (evident by Hedison's bald head)

Anyway, take a look at how Hedison wanted the scene done.

But no matter what, I shall always remember being freaked out when I saw the scene when I was 7

"Help meeeeee! Please, help meeeee!"
