My Worst Fear is Death...the Inevitable and Unavoidable End to Us All.

[@hinesmaster99]

Biggest fear? Probably a cathedral or however you spell it after you have a heart attack. Father had 4 heart attacks & he told me about them before he passed he said passing a kidney was easier than having a tube running up your male organ. Now phobias Probably something huge swallowing me like a great white shark or killer whale.

❤Love the reaction to this one Jen! Next year, look into the movie ' Pumpkinhead ' perfect for Halloween!

[@k.delpino1124]

When I first saw this Arachnophobia, I sort of felt the same as you Jen. But then I realized it was a different kind of monster movie. Just with one of nature's extravagant creatures. Fear for me is whatever the worse case scenario may be in life and that can't be reversed or avoided.

[@simoncroft5416]

One sad thing about Arachnophobia is I'm reminded of the talent that was Julian Sands. Sands was also a dedicated mountaineer, but went missing in the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles back in January 2023. His body has since been found. An unexpected and sad end for a much admired actor.

[@ashbysmith1723]

This might be your greatest reaction of all times. You were really brave to watch it. It's one of those underappreciated classics. Awesome.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you! :)

[@Cybertron-cs7sk]

[@MatthewMortensen1]

Rest in peace Julian Sands (the main scientist). He went missing on a hiking/mountain climbing trip last year. He was found 5 months later. Underrated actor.

[@bobkupi9905]

Hi Jen, you asked early on if they used real spiders. The answer to that question is "YES". If you look in the credits, you'll see one of the crew was listed as "spider wrangler". If you research the trivia on this film, you'll find that they imported 40,000 spiders from Central America that were totally harmless. the only "fake" spiders were the extreme close ups where they showed their eyes and the egg sack scene. The bigger (hand sized) ones were common tarantulas which are also totally harmless. I even had a tarantula as a pet when I was a teenager. Fun Fact: Jeff Daniels said in an interview that the scene in the basement was completely real, and the fear on his face was real. He had over 100 spiders on his body. Real spiders. He also said that making that movie almost caused him to quit acting as a career.

[@anzaeria]

There was also the animatronic spider that crawled up Jeff Daniel's body when he was lying down - built by Jamie Hyneman (one of the Mythbusters.)

[@SonzOfEnoch]

Avondale spiders (Delena Cancerides), a harmless species from New Zealand.

[@Metamorfeus]

@@SonzOfEnoch The same species can be commonly found all over Australia where they're called Huntsmans, or more affectionately, Huntsies.

[@mixodorians12]

RIP Julian Sands, (guy who plays the English Doctor)...body was found recently in the wilderness in California, after going missing. Mysterious circumstances...some say the spiders finally got him.

[@terrylandess6072]

I just realized for those whom enjoyed Julian Sands here, while looking for his body of work he has appeared in many supernatural themed films of varying quality beyond Warlock which I saw. I also discovered he went missing during a hike this year and 5 months later his remains were found. I still remember his culturally disturbing film Boxing Helena which many saw as amputee p4rn. I also enjoyed the senior/junior Doctor conflict which also appears a year later in Doc Hollywood with Michael J. Fox.

[@vcancer]

Godspeed Julian Sands who plays Dr. James Atherton at the beginning of the movie and later on in the film. He went Hiking in the California San Gabriel Mountains during the winter time earlier this year. His remains were found 5 months later by other hikers.

[@commsense1979]

RIP to Julian Sands. He was excellent in this movie as the spider expert

[@TheMadMurf]

John Goodman is absolutely hysterical in this film. He's one of those actors where I'll watch anything he's in. So glad you watched this, I love it! Thank you for traumatizing yourself for us! 😂

[@skerr808]

"A web would indicate arachnoid presence." lol

[@scottcarter2362]

The spiders are called Avondale spiders. They're a large huntsman spider that immigrated from Australia to Auckland New Zealand. They chose them for the movie because they readily scuttle about. You'll especially love this Jen...they love living together,and sometimes communities of them number in the hundreds. Who said we don't have scary wildlife in New Zealand? Hahaha

[@collectedcurios]

They used real life "Huntsmen" spiders for the movie. They're harmless (to humans), they just move at a SUPER FREAKY gallop which scares the crap out of sane people.

[@neil2444]

25:53 Advice for what to do in case you happen to spot a spider on your wall. 😂

[@andrewmoss3681]

Another great one. There is a species of spider that does live in colonies. But the reason they do that is because they need venom from lots of spiders to take down the larger animals needed to feed the colony. Also the larger of the 2 spiders IS the Queen. Female spiders are ALWAYS bigger than the male. Sometimes with a fully grown male being roughly 5% the size & mass of a fully grown female. The female will often eat the male after mating. It's actually VERY rare for a male to get away alive after mating. Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend & much love to everyone from here in the UK

[@08191906]

I absolutely LOVED your jabbering throughout your determined effort to make it through this movie. On a personal note: my wife and I traveled the California Hwy 1 back in '92 and stayed a couple nights in Cambria JUST after filming there for this film wrapped. There was still lighting gear and spiderweb and body chalk outline props all over the quaint coastal town. Pretty cool. People there didn't even know what the movie was called; just "something about spiders", as if all the webbing wasn't too obvious. 😂

[@nothefabio]

Yes, in SA there is a spider species that reach 12 inch diameter. Its name is Goliath Birdeater and is a species of tarantula. But, its venom is not more harmful that wasp sting. Still terrifying nonetheless.

[@CarolinaCharles777]

Thanks for braving through this movie, Jen! I think the shower scene is even scarier than PSYCHO! 😬

[@Slytherin90.]

It's pretty awesome that you could watch this movie, despite your arachnophobia. Your bravery is very admirable! And yes, there are some spiders in the world that can jump.

[@rextside]

You know, I feel terrible making assumptions about a person I never met, but I'm starting to suspect that Jen may have a fear of spiders 😄 Cheers to you for putting yourself through this just for the reaction, I'm glad you had fun with the movie in editing.

[@kieronball8962]

Love your reactions and bravery, Jen. We all know these are just movies, but sometimes they can affect us, in the worst way. And yes, they used real spiders! :)

[@Saber0307]

So I saw this movie on TV when I was a kid (about 4 or 5), and this was what introduced me to the concept of poisonous spiders. My parents sat me down and did their best to explain to me how I had nothing to fear since it was really unlikely to be bitten by a poisonous spider. My dad was bitten by a black widow the next day (he's fine). I've been afraid of spiders ever since.

[@williamblakehall5566]

Strike this woman a medal! Your commitment is appreciated. There are in fact whole species specifically known as jumping spiders. My favorite "evil bugs" movie is still 1975's Bug, with super-roaches which spell out your name on a wall when you come home, those and the Zantis from the original Outer Limits episode The Zanti Misfit. Now you're all set for Tarantula, about a tarantula the size of a house that required a young Clint Eastwood to fly overhead and bomb it, I kid you not.

[@CliveNEWSTEAD-nu6fl]

Jen. You were brave to take this one on. I do not fear Spiders, but I will not swim in the Surf, if I think Seaweed will wrap around my legs !!

[@RetroClassic66]

6:35 They used mostly real non-venomous spiders and tarantulas (it’s kinda like herding cats but there’s a way to get them to do certain things for the camera), but “the General” was an animatronic created and operated by a friend of mine, Chris Walas, who’s famous for his work in several films of the 80s and 90s, particularly THE FLY (1986) and its sequel (which he directed), GREMLINS (1984) and its sequel, ENRMY MINE (1985), as well as the melting faces at the end of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981); he also worked on visual effects and/or special makeup effects for such films as DRAGONSLAYER (1981), SCANNERS (1981), RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983), and many others.

[@TopsyTriceratops]

"Did they use real spiders, or animatronic ones?" Pasted from a review someone else said: The small spiders used in the film were Avondale spiders (Delena Cancerides), a harmless species from New Zealand that were provided by Landcare Research in Auckland. Despite their fierce appearance, this spider is a docile member of the crab-spider family and is, in fact, harmless to humans. They were not allowed back in New Zealand for quarantine reasons. The giant "spider" used in the film was a species of a bird-eating tarantula, which can attain a legspan of eight inches or more. That aside, pretty sure they did use robots and spider dummies for the more crueler scenes like the spider being crushed into goo or the big baddie set on fire. Pretty sure even the dead spider in the box was a prop; because who WOULD pick up the real thing, dead or alive? Well, aside from people who like them of course, but I mean most people don't.

[@jrobwoo688]

This is nearly a comedy, for me. I’m not afraid of spiders at all. I love John Goodman’s character. John Goodman stars in one of my favorite movies, the absolutely terrifying Red State.

[@jenmurrayxo]

It was actually really funny! I laughed more in editing :)

[@thehandyman2296]

You really are afraid of spiders 🕷️😅. Watching you with the blanket around your neck was more fun than the movie itself 😂

[@k.delpino1124]

The directorial debut of renowned producer Frank Marshall and debut film of the now-defunct Disney studio, Hollywood Pictures. One of my favorite movies as an kid. I had a fascination with Spiders. Just because of how unique they were. The movie displays a great use of real and animatronic spiders too. When this movie came out, i was so blown away. Essentially a B-movie with a bigger budget, serious yet campy. Right up there with The MEG, Anaconda and Lake Placid. I had the comic book adaptation of the movie. The moment in which Ross Jennings first encoutered his 'Arachnophobia' was revealed in one panel. Terrifying especially from how it was drawn. When he talked about it in the movie and it didn't feel as scary. But you can tell he felt some kind of way. RIP to Julian Sands (Dr. James Atherton). I forgot he passed away earlier in 2023.

[@Thewingkongexchange]

Speaking of Lepidoptery, that's what M was enjoying a spot of in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' when Bond visits his house.

[@yeoldegamer5112]

Jen you were so effing brave! Very proud of you. Definitely creeped me out a little watching as a kid, but there's enough funny and goofy bits to make it not too bad. And yeah John Goodman is a treasure

[@lucidf8]

Jen, I’m not even afraid of spiders, and your reaction just creeped me out. I used to rescue my daughter from spiders that were in the sink or tub. Her reaction was kind of cute when I “saved” her. But, eventually, I just started handing her a Monopoly style card “Get Rid of one Spider Free”. She would have to hand it back to me to get rid of one spider. Eventually she wanted to keep the card more than she wanted me to get rid of the spider. The card, “a safety token” became what she wanted to keep for herself. So, then, she started catching the spiders herself. Weird that it worked out like that. Once I showed her how to “deport” them outside so they could continue their lives catching other bugs, she was happy with that. Collecting them became fun. I was a bug catcher as a kid, too.

[@simongeoghegan9842]

This was so well made and fun, even though most people are scared of spiders. Good for us you overcame your fear Jen👍💓. R.I.P Julian Sands much missed and great British actor.💓

You've gotta watch 8 Legged Freaks! I've got a little spider story. I was sitting in starbucks some time ago while wearing cargo shorts. While talking to a friend, I felt a little tickle near my calf and thought it was a piece of thread. Without looking, I reached down and took it between my thumb, middle, and index fingers and started rolling it in circles. It felt exactly like playing with a piece of yarn! Then I paused for a second, and felt it moving in my grip!!! Reflexively I threw it to the ground and it was a big hairy spider!!!>$%

This was amazing. Pity there aren't many other good spider movies like this. I've seen you on edge, but wrapped so tight in the blanket with the head popping out the top was hilarious. I am arachnophobic. I rented a basement for 7 or so years, and they were EVERYWHERE down there. First couple days there I saw one dragging a big ass bug up a brick wall. Couldn't sleep for a week. Eventually I just had to come to terms with it and deal with them. Plus, they kept the other undesirable bugs down there at bay. I even started trust exercises with the aptly named "Toilet Spider" who took up residence in my bathroom down there. Would see him every morning, and we were on a "You stay down there, and I'll stay up here. And we'll leave each other alone" kind of deal. Excited to see whats on the slate for next week! Here's to hoping it's holiday appropriate! :D

We had a small TV, and my chair was on the other side of the room, and my wife was more amused watching me squirm in my chair than the movie itself! and ever since that first time I watched this movie, I have been a sucker for watching other spider movies, especially giant spider movies. and i always wonder... why do I do this to myself? I said all this on other people's reaction videos, and someone once asked me if it helped cure my arachnophobia. with a smile I typed, nope! there is a goofy, cheesy giant spider movie, titled Big Ass Spider! and its great for its comedy.

Hey Jen, I follow this fellow from Australia who had initially turned his 32 acre farm into a massive daycare for dogs, and then into a rehab center for abused, aggressive, and otherwise unwanted dogs after covid caused a shutdown of operations. I mention him because I watched a video where he was out with his 2 year old in the late evening, and when he was filming the little one , there was a spider on his face. Actually, it was a Huntsman and it was around 4 inches in diameter. He took it right in stride, gently took it off his face, and still goes out in the evenings with the boy, and his 7 year old daughter to look for and observe the spiders around the house.
