Posted: October 11, 2004 at 12:48 p.m. LONDON (AP) -- Which are scarier -- spiders or terrorists?
A new survey indicates that most British people are more afraid of the spiders.
The survey was conducted for Universal Pictures UK. A poll of 1,000 people between 16 and 55 years old found spiders topped the list of what's scary -- followed by terrorists, snakes, heights and death.
The survey coincides with the DVD release of the Hugh Jackman horror movie Van Helsing, and just before Halloween.
For those wondering, the next three fears -- in descending order -- were a trip to the dentist, needles and injections, and public speaking.
