Australia - "This is the worst nightmare of anyone living in Australia."

That's how TikTok user @aussiemanreviewed introduces his short video, which ended up making a huge impression on millions. With an opening like that, it's no surprise that something scary is about to come.

The clip, posted online on April 16, only shows a silver car door at first. The camera then pans down to peer under the door handle. That's the spot a giant crab spider has decided to turn into a permanent home.

Over one million people have watched the video so far, many of whom were completely freaked out by the creepy-crawly.

One user shared, "This is my biggest nightmare and I don't even live in Australia," while a second said, "Now I'll be looking under the door handles forever..."

Apparently spurred on by the success of his video, the TikToker immediately tried to land the next hit.

In his second video, the man proved that "it's not just spiders you have to watch out for." Since this is Australia, a potentially dangerous snake is contractually obligated to make an appearance. This particular hug specimen found its way under the user's car and had to be dragged out.

Just another day living in the land Down Under!
