I love how the music and sound effects make the whole thing so much more dramatic. I have pet spiders and they’re incredibly boring animals. They don’t make any noise and they’re not very smart. Their eyesight is poor so they rely on vibrations to detect food. This doesn’t always go according to plan, sometimes I drop in a cricket and it jumps on their head and the spiders do nothing.
