...because it has made me absolutely terrified of spiders, and it disrupts my life! lol. But honestly... I watched this movie late at night, by myself when I was about 10 yrs old, and ever since then... I've had this ridiculous fear of even the most harmless and tiny spiders. Even after I kill a spider, I have goosebumps all over my body and the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I've tried to watch this movie again several times, thinking that it will make me realize that I shouldn't be scared since its not real... but it just makes my fear worse!!!!!!

I have so many spider stories, cuz they are just the most evil and spiteful creatures out there!!!!

They've followed me, predicted my next moves... and they can smell fear, I know it!

and those little @$$holes play dead too...

oh, ya, and I absolutely hate when they're on the ceiling, cuz they're even harder to kill.

Anyway, that about sums up my feelings about spiders.

Yeah, but our brains secrete a neurotransmitter that enables us to deal with them!

I don't think I have that particular neuro-transmitter.

You know, when I was a kid I was also absolutely terrified of spiders. It seems some of that I can also trace back to a movie. I can't remember the name but I remember it was quite old and giant tarantulas take over a town.

As I've gotten older, though, that fear has--at least to some extent--turned more into a fascination. They still startle me if they come out of nowhere and some spider species seem a lot creepier than others. But I've made my peace with tarantulas at least and have even considered getting one as a pet.

By the way, the spiders used in the movie were mostly harmless to humans.

Hey, if someone can sue McDonalds because their coffee was too hot, and won, give it a shot

No offense, but you're an idiot.

We'll maybe 10 years later you have now got over your fear of spiders. Maybe you even became an Arachnologist and have grown to love them? hmmmmmm ... I don't think so. :)
