Motion detectors were set for normal-size spiders.

One could even argue that Scarfolk already exists in the UK, it’s just not evenly distributed…

When I lived in England I heard “Its raining, its pouring” every day. On the weather report.

Weird, a little spooky, okay. I mean it’s not like its foggy, raining, and voice is waffling in pitch 3 or 4 octaves…

They spelled out “some pig” in their web and Wilbur got whacked anyway so they decided to take action.

This is some Silent Hill shit. Intermix the rhymes with broken static of varying intensity, and some weird voice speaking nonsense, and you could probably just have the coppers follow the piss trail right to the trespassers hideout.
Also, I have nothing but admiration for the genius at the business that came up with this idea.

I wouldn’t have been creeped out unless it played “Ba Ba Black Sheep” since the meaning if suffolk is a sheep of a large black-faced breed with a short fleece.
Burglarizing.

Came to check … left satisfied. Carry on.
ETA @smut_clyde Don’t start all that again.

Arrrgh, no. Lovecraft set most of his stories in a sem-fictionalized version of New England, where many of the towns were named after cities, towns, and villages back in Old(e) England. Not the same at all.
But Scarfolk, now, definitely.

Ipsy bitsy spider went up the broken spout
Switched the wires and played a song that freaked the neighbors out.
The council told the people, “don’t worry, we insist.”
“However, we’ll need more money to take a look at this.”
So the little spider, went on his merry way
And found a job in Ipswitch as a night-time disco DJ. Hooray!

Wow! That’s what watching too many “Nightmare On Elm Street Movies” does to you. It makes you afraid of songs that are meant to put babies to sleep.
