I think it may have something to do with the way the media has portrayed them.

90% of the time, spiders are always venomous, not wanted, or the pet of some creepy kid (Home Alone).

Another factor may be the fact the way that they hunt for food. Catch it in a web, inject it with poison, wrap it up, and save it for later.

Or it could possibly also be the way that spiders feel when they crawl on skin.

But for me, its the sound I heard when I was 10. We had a zoo bring some animals and insects to school one day, and they passed a tarantula around in a pet container. One of the kids dropped it, the spider escaped, started crawling around the classroom floor, and one of the boys at the back of the room stepped on it. I think that was quite possibly the most disgusting noise I've ever heard. The crunchy, squishy sound and then the twitching legs after the fact... damn.

I shudder just thinking about it.
