* Yeah, yeah, the first kill is done by a Pinktoe Tarantula, but imagine this. Your spiders have gone mad and one of them gets a hold of you. The rest are now free...and the last shot of that scene is the parrot letting out a blood-curdling shriek as a tarantula grabs hold of him.
* Remember Gremlins? Where the monsters were causing death-inducing chaos across town? Even with all the goofiness, it's TAME compared to the rampage across town.
** That one spider that tried to crash through the dinner’s window started as an EpicFail, but the next one did not, who proceeds to maul a woman.
** The trapdoor spiders claiming victims through the sewer as they try to flee into their cars.
* Still think it's still goofy? It is, but what do the spiders do with any humans they capture? Namely, liquifying your insides in an extremely painful and slow way. The female Orb Weaver from one scene will show you for a moment...
* The scene where a spider gets right up in a potential victim's face could likely give an arachnophobe nightmares for the rest of their life.
* Leon's death is one of the few moments in the film that's played 100% for horror and has zero comedic value. You'll want to never siphon by mouth again after seeing it.
* The spider’s attack on the maul is just as jarring as their initial attack upon the town.
* Chris’s aunt pet dog getting claimed as one of the spiders next meal [[JumpScare comes out of nowhere]]. Then it’s owner is eventually taken by the spiders, but fortunately survives.
* Ashley getting attacked by a spider as it climbs into her bedroom window, charges up, then covers her in its web. Chris tries to save her, then he to is webbed up. [[BigDamnHeroes If not for her mother shooting the spider dead]], they would have been goners.

town has several moments:
** That one Their attack on the diner. One spider that tried attempts to crash jump through the dinner’s window started as an EpicFail, but window, only to [[GlassSmackAndSlide smack into the next glass and audibly slide down]] while the diners stare at it... and then another one did not, who proceeds manages to maul get through and mauls a woman.
** The
woman, starting the panic proper. A group of trapdoor spiders claiming victims through also pick off and drag several fleeing patrons into the sewer sewers as they try to flee into escape to their cars.
* Still think it's still goofy? It is, but what do ** The attack on the mall is similarly jarring.
* The mutated
spiders do with any treat the humans they capture? Namely, liquifying your capture like they would any other prey: sink their fangs into them and liquefy their insides in an extremely slow and painful and slow way. The manner, as best exemplified by the scene featuring Consuela the female Orb Weaver from one scene will show you for a moment...
