I think spider phobia is something vaguely sexual, I know everyone will prolly think that sounds nuts,but I had a go at drawing what I felt rather than saw once and it was quite disturbingly like rape fear, like being in the same room as an unknown naked man and not knowing their intentions.
Hairy legs, hairy torso shaped body, motion like a person moving with barely concealed stealthy hidden intent, and then stops when it thinks you see it, stays still till you stop looking, then starts creeping in a 'feely' way again, like the hand of a blind man looking for someone but not wanting them to know.
Anyhoo, wish I still had that drawing, it explained it all much better...
*edit* I thought that white naked eyeless monster in Pan's Labyrinth hit similar triggers too, it was one of the few in recent movies that genuinely did disturb me.
