AKA:
Arachnids
Was a bastard in:
Arachnophobia, Eight-Legged Freaks, Spiders,
Webs, Giant Spider Invasion, Spiders 2, Arachnid, Tarantula, The Incredible Shrinking
Man, The Mist… and probably quite a few more.
So what the hell are they?
Well, spiders of course. Unlike many of the entries in the TBDB these critters are very much a part of real life – perhaps not the massive ones the size of buildings but the regular sized ones are just as nasty looking and sometimes just as deadly as their silver screen counterparts. |

That’s not a knife…
Although spiders come with their very own and very horrible method of killing (their poison liquefies its prey’s innards which the hungry spider then sucks out and consumes) for many people the real horror is just in the little bastard’s very appearance or even existence (a little bit like Paris Hilton).
Why, for the love of God, Why??!!?
Even in the movies these eight-legged beasties are usually just following the basic primal code of eat and propagate. Not really the most evil of plans but then again it all depends on your viewpoint. If you are currently having your internal organs liquefied by the agonizing venom of a spider the size of a barn you may well not be seeing the whole ‘circle of life’ angle. Which is fair enough really.
