仮面ライダー剣
On television, the 1990 miniseries "Stephen King's It" is based on his novel "It", where the true form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown resembles a monstrous spider. The character Kamen Rider Leangle from the 2004 Japanese TV show "Kamen Rider Blade" has a motif based on the onigumo spider. The plot of the 2018 "Doctor Who" episode "Arachnids in the UK" revolves around an infestation of giant spiders that has occurred as the result of a scientific experiment. A positive depiction of spiders is seen in the 1991 BBC children's musical animation series "Spider!", which shows the relationship between a young boy and a spider starting as fear but growing into close friendship and understanding.
