The insect world is full of creepy specimens that humans would gladly cross the road to avoid, and when a spider horror movie arrives, the results are usually quite entertaining. For years, spiders and other insects have played a huge role in scaring the pants off of moviegoers, especially those with bug phobias. The best and worst thing about horror movie spiders and bugs is how these fictional creepy-crawlies display a range of body-horror-inducing features not present in nonfictional invertebrates. Seeing them in a terrifying role in a film is enough to keep people from sleeping soundly at night.
