Yes: someone who's first to make an "arachnofobia mod" for grimrock is going to be a hero to a bunch of people.

I find that solution much easier than what you proposed. =)

I remember a while back I had some fear of spiders. so I decided to do something about it. I went online and for a couple of days learned all I could about them, looked up pictures of different kinds and what not, research info on different types of spiders using wikipedia. I feel like fear of spiders has something to do with a spacial paradox and the mind doesn't like spacial paradoxes, so that might be part of it.
anyway after that Im not so scared of spiders. hope that helps.

I don't have any problems with real spiders, but these spiders have made me jump a few times when they surprised me. None of the other creatures in the game have that effect on me, but I think it's the sound they make more than anything else.
Its the speed they move that does it for me. I hate scary things that can move in on me faster than im able to think about running for my life. its really annoying.

Did you see the one that turned spirders into standing bears with no animation. It looks hella funny being attacked by bears that float across the ground arms outstretched. lol.

now there is "Legend of Chaos" by Sutekh that removes all spiders from the original game (and makes a few other cosmetic changes) :)
