Patricia - the story with the Zarbi ("The Web Planet") is available on DVD. I suspect you'd find it a little less scary if you were to re-watch it now .
Yes, I have seen the dvd and realised that the zarbi were actually men doubled up, with ant costumes.

I hadn't noticed the Verlan, though. Thanks, Zelda.
(My first introduction to Verlan was reading Balzac's 'Spendeurs et misères des courtisanes', where Vautrin uses it when imprisoned.)
