Furry Harbingers of Death

I just watched a spider crawl across the floor, in a commercial, and I still shudder.

I have tried to overcome the shudder that I feel even from seeing a picture and have tried to analyze why I find them so scary...

is it the creepy way that they look like they kind of flow over things - rather than walk?
or
is it that they are furry, which would normally make a creature potentially cute, if:
they didn't paralyze their victims and suck all their insides out after injecting them with a digestive poison and then wrapping them in a straight jacket of a cocoon and laughing while their victims insides slowly and painfully turn into a spider slushy??

hmmm, maybe I have given this a little too much thought.
