Hollywood made a pretty bad movie about it - "Arachnophobia", but for some the movie was excruciating - if they even went to see it. The cast certainly was amazing: John Goodman ("Roseanne"), Kathy Kinney ("The Drew Carey Show"), and Jeff Daniels ("Dumb and Dumber").

Media outlets have made all of us increasingly aware of the dangers of brown recluse spiders and the physical damage they can wreak on the human body.
