5 Horrifying Facts About Spiders

Happy Halloween from #5facts! This week's show is an ode to good old fashioned nightmare fuel -- everyone's favorite arachnid, the spider. The only things creepier than spiders are the horrifying facts about their behavior, mating habits and general ability to freak people out.

For example, did you know some male spiders will let themselves be eaten by females while mating? Or that there are probably tiny arachnids having sex on your face right now, even as you read this?

Special thanks to The Scarehouse of Pittsburgh, Pa., for providing some amazing zombies. You can check out their haunted house if you're in the area this year; they also have a pretty horrifying YouTube channel.

Enjoy our special Halloween edition above, and if you're a 5facts fan, prove your love by subscribing to our YouTube channel. We'll see you next week with another thrilling episode!
