Them, what a great flick.
Those giant spider movies always gave me the creeps. You just never know with spiders, which direction are they looking at? Some of the huge ones are known to QUICKLY JUMP TOWARD THE THREAT as a default reflex. If I was hunting them (extremely unlikely!) I would have a decoy threat approach them first with great speed and aggression.
Once they leap onto the scarecrow figure, out comes the industrial strength RAID, with pin point accuracy.
