Are All Tolkien’s Favorite Heroes Spider-Slayers? | Halloween 2021

One of the most frequently recurring manifestations of evil in Middle-earth is the giant spider.  And Tolkien loves to have his (arguably) favorite heroes exterminate them with a vengeance. Credit to my son for letting me borrow his toy spider for the thumbnail. :) Intrigued by the theme of evil being self-defeating?  I have a video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c67oYSVgWI More Halloween themed videos: Tolkien’s creepiest creatures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uhdM4GyrBk Scariest scenes from The Lord of the Rings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhfrhAX1T5w&t=458s Other Links: Rumble at https://rumble.com/c/c-355195 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:f Twitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlore Patreon: www.patreon.com/tolkiengeek --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joshua6469/support
