Spiders are the number one most righteous fear in the entire world. More people suffer from arachnophobia – the fear of spiders – than any other phobia to have ever existed. The people suffering from this fear are absolutely brilliant, as these little eight-legged devils are the worst creatures to have ever been spawned from the bowels of the planet. These creepy looking creatures look like they are from a horror movie, and some may not hurt you, but others will kill you without a problem. Here are the 5 most terrifying spiders in the world.
