Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did

This might sound like an odd topic and needless to say arachnophobes need not apply but play a lot of Skyrim, play a lot of Dragon Age and wonder just why all these fantasy games have to have spiders. Well we know why, but then I got to thinking, which ones are the worst?

Looking up such lists there are several worthy contenders, from the spiders in some Resident Evil games to Frostbites in the aforementioned Skyrim with the setting in caves, but none that are my pick in Dragon Age: Origins that has the best...most frightening depiction of how spiders attack.

The likes of Limbo and The Lord of the Rings are pretty rough and I'm surprised none had made it into Mortal Kombat with the exception of the Krypt given how scary and graphic one can be used for in a fatality. What about you guys? Which ones give you the most thrills and chills?

General topics like these aren't allowed in the Media forums. Yack Fest might be a better place to go.

I'm not an arachnophobe, but when I was a kid, I was scared of the spiders in Tomb Raider II, no thanks the unsettling shuffling sounds they made and their coming out of nowhere. x_x

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

The Giant Spider from the video game version of Ice Age: The Meltdown scared me as a kid (and the intense music that played didn't help either). It took me years to scrape up the courage to try to defeat it.
