Spiders are a huge species that has survived in the world from many apocalypses, the evidence of their existence comes from a fossil that is almost 380 million years old. How it became associated with Halloween is an interesting story that you will find from the old traditions and symbols sprung up in the passage of time. Analogous to the spooky cats and bats, spiders are scary creatures. Their 8 shoddy legs and whimsical shape can make many shudder with fear. In the connotation of Halloween, they are considered mythical beings with supernatural powers.

Do you include spider in Halloween decorations?
In particular, I appreciate as least hurtful to sentient animals and plants the two houses.
It's disappointing that Halloween takes such beneficial sentients as bats, cats and spiders and falsely turns them into scary props.
The two houses seem far less scary than the other products. How would you keep the inflatable haunted house and its props from blowing away?
Tolovaj - It is interesting to know that spiders have an amazing history and they are creatures to be admired. As for me, I do get scared by them sometimes. Halloween is an exciting time for the spooky decor, spiders are just right for the decorations.
Several years ago i have written an article about spiders and it was pure joy doing a research about these impressive creatures. One interesting fact I still remember is fear of spiders - it is actually learned, mostly from the mothers... When I finished with my article (it was full month job) everybody around me stopped fearing them and started admiring their role in the nature. Creepy look or not, they really are something.
Lovely decorations!
