Because fear of spiders is pretty universal and eternal, Arachnophobia is now getting a remake from Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and James Wan’s Atomic Monster production company.
Arachnophobia is defined as the irrational fear of spiders and arachnids.
It is also the name of a 1990 horror-comedy film from director Frank Marshall starring Jeff Daniels, Harley Jane Kozack and John Goodman.
It is in fact, a quite rational affliction, suffered by, I imagine, the majority of people on the planet.
