This film had a woman, possibly a princess, who is to be sacrificed to a god/statue. The hero and his group of men are on a mission to rescue her.
The group of men have to go through a cave with a massive spider inside. Towards the end, they interrupt the sacrifice and the god/statue comes to life and morphs into a disgusting creature. A fight ensues and the hero eventually wins.
I watched this on television in the late 90s, I came in about halfway through the movie. It seemed to be older, created before the 90s at least. I thought it might have been a Sinbad film but it is not.
Thank for the help!
I believe it is the 1940 version of The Thief of Baghdad
I finally found it. Well, it has some of it, the giant spider and the statue, but no group of men, just the kid hero, and the statue doesn’t come to life. There is a similar scene in the silent version, but it doesn’t appear there is a giant spider in the two later remakes.

This isn’t it but this looks like a movie I would enjoy, thank you!
In “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad” there is a group of men who battle a female statue come to life twice in the movie.
Oh, sorry, you said not a Sinbad movie.
Conan the Destroyer(1984)? It has everything but the giant spider. Here is a scene that resembles your description.
This is it! Now I remember the creature having a horn and stabbing someone with it. Thank you!
That is the spider scene! I was mixing up two movies. Turns out it was this one and Conan the Destroyer. It was so long ago I remembered it being one film. Thanks for the help!
So it looks like it’s Livinghead who solved it after many good guesses.
