So I guess it's a pretty safe bet that you don't want any of these for Halloween treats, right?


And hair spray would probably work as spider repellent. If the arachnid didn't take the hint, you could always light the spray.
"Subtrope of Improvised Weapon. A character uses an aerosol can, such as hairspray, with a match or lighter as a makeshift flamethrower. A serious case of Don't Try This at Home, because there's a very real risk that the flames will heat the canister up enough for it to rupture and explode. Also, it smells terrible. You can accidentally poison yourself if you keep doing it, thanks to the fumes. See also Farts on Fire for a smaller, more comedic version of this."
