That movie creeped me out too. I don't think I ever knew what kind of spider they used for it. Although, looking at them now it explains why I heartlessly kill certain pale spiders and set others free outside.

It's funny though- Avondale Spiders are Huntsman spiders. They strangle their prey to death. They don't have a webs or any of the stuff the spiders in the movie did. They are BIG though. My Dad caught a small one under a 3L empty ice cream container. That was a SMALL one. I think I was scared for life from that...

    The movie makers probably only cared about the size of the spiders. At least it would be harder for them to get in the house considering their size...
