Spiders are already so frightening that people set fire to their homes just to get rid of them.

No, seriously. People keep setting their homes on fire trying to kill spiders.
Now imagine running into a bloodthirsty three-foot-long mutant spider-dog on a dimly lit street. That’s the nightmare a few people faced as a result of Polish YouTube channel SA Wardega’s latest prank.
The unlucky commuters are confronted by a grisly, but staged, scene—what seems like freshly killed victims, complete with blood and dismembered limbs, tangled in a web. Then out of nowhere a dog-sized, hairy, and quick-moving spider comes sprinting toward them.
It all happens so fast that each of the pranked turns running and screaming from what they believe to be certain death.
It’s hard to deny how frightening the experience would be for almost anyone in that situation, but at the end of the video we’re all reassured that the death spider is just a lovable dog playing dress-up.
