Black Goo in Spiderman 3

I am interested in making the same sort of black goo from Spiderman 3 for a project. I have read interviews with the guys who worked on the FX, and they mentioned using Maya and of course the industry-standard Renderman. They also mentioned to get the goo to work was by using curves in Maya.

What I don’t get is how they can get curves to behave this way? It’s as if the creature made quick, snapping movements like a spider on steroids. Almost as if it had to wrap itself up ahead and pull itself along.

Anyone have any suggestions for getting such an effect? I tried Youtube for a good sample video, but all I can find is the Church Scene, and that doesn’t show the creepy crawly goo moving around.
