Londoners were given the Halloween heebie-jeebies today as a terrifying giant creepy crawly was spotted prowling the streets of the capital.
Commuters and tourists experienced arachnophobia as a metre-wide spider was seen scuttling past shops and supermarkets, lurking under bridges and pouncing joggers and cyclists in parks across the city.
Hidden cameras recorded reactions, as it was unleashed on the public and jumped out on passers-by. The eight-legged monster prank was staged by drinks brand Fanta to promote their Halloween campaign.
The supersized animatronic arachnid, capable of scuttling at top speeds of 15mph, features a set of prominent fangs, glowing beady eyes and hisses upon approaching its prey.
