Arachnophobia (1990)

Recommended Posts

My hubs forced me to watch this-knowing my fear of spiders. He thought it might help me get over it. What a dickhead! I had my eyes covered through most of it and cursed him soundly when it was over. I hate those little fuckers with a passion. If I see one in my house, it will be dead within seconds. Outside, I don't bother them because that's where they are supposed to be.

When this came out, my friend got tickets to a free preview and invited me to go, so I agreed like an idiot, despite my fear of spiders. The preview was so packed we ended up having to sit in the front row. I nearly died of fear from the moment the first tarantula leaped right at the screen, but it was also a fun and memorable movie experience! Love when the audience screams along, and I thought it was actually a pretty well-done and funny movie for what it was (the parts I could see when my eyes weren't squeezed shut, at least).

I'm also still very careful to check my shoes and slippers for spiders before putting them on.

Same. I remember my family watching this movie multiple times as a kid and forcing me to watch it with them. I always watched it with almost my whole face covered. It was a very well done and funny movie, just so hard to sit through. 

The other night I went into my bathroom and on the toilet near the flusher was a big spider. I inwardly groaned and then saw a bunch of babies around her. We're talking like 30 of them. I was so horrified. I killed mom first and then the babies. An hour later I walked into the washroom and there were like 20 more babies all dangling from webs from the base of the toilet up to the tank. Horrified, I killed them again only to come back and hour later and find more. Rinse and repeat. 

The entire time, all I could think about was this movie so imagine my surprise when I just came across this thread today, heh.

I remember this movie. It was out when I was a teenager. I try to leave spiders alone now, but I still don't like them on me in any way. I remember one spider that was running around on me, when I was stretched out on my bed. I jumped up, and was shaking myself and my clothing all out. I saw it fall out, and when I caught it under a glass, it actually looked kind of cute. A little furry thing. I put it outside.

But a lot of them? Still a huge NOPE.

I hope that the judge was understanding about the arson (which is the only possible solution I can see to your predicament)!
