WARNING - ROTK MOVIE SPOILER ALERT (nothing major; don't worry)!!!

I have seen ROTK, and I am a little arachnophobic myself - not to the 
extreme that you are, though! Here's a question for you - did you freak 
out during the spider scene in the COS movie? Shelob is a LOT more 
realistic-looking than the acromantulas in COS, but she does not look 
as much like a spider. Those of you who have read the LOTR books know 
that Shelob isn't quite a spider, but more like a monster that 
resembles a spider.

If I were you, I would go to the movie and just close my eyes during 
Shelob - have someone narrate for you, because that part is a bit 
different than the book. If you can muster up the courage to look, 
though, you definitely should! Shelob looks fantastic, and that scene 
is very dramatic.

Hope this helps! Don't miss the movie just because of a silly spider 
that's not even real!
