Watch out for… Spiderdog!

If you have a fear of spiders then this might not be suitable viewing.

But those looking for a thrill can watch as a terrifying Spiderdog terrorises locals.

The eight-legged freak, known as DogSpider, is the brainchild of Polish prankster Sylwester Wardega and is actually his pet Chica in disguise.

The footage shows the darkened creature running around the streets of Poland, scaring those he passes.

At one point, while lying in wait in a lift, DogSpider sets his sights on two unsuspecting women waiting to get in, who end up running off screaming.

Later we see a person hanging from a web in the park at night. A couple out on a stroll spot the man, and as the boyfriend edges forward out darts DogSpider from the bushes and the couple scream as they are chased out of the park.

But maybe the scariest moment of the video comes when a man walks through an underpass to find hanging ‘body parts’ at the other end. As he stops to take it all in, DogSpider creeps up on him from behind and chases the man straight into a spiderweb where he is quickly tangled. The man frantically pulls himself out of the web before running off in fright.

As a viewer, this stunt is extremely amusing, but less so for those unfortunate victims of the prank.
