I don't see your point.

The whole thing is about supernatural events. Hardly anything is 'solid' and based on reality.
How can you apply logic to what is a supernatural tale?

The zombies appear and dissapear as well. The plans of the house change, the blind girl comes and goes, the bathtub changes from full of grime and a zombie to being clean and empty and spiders appear and then vanish.

A tree attcks a woman in "The Evil Dead". Does that make any sense at all?
No...because it's a supernatural film and as such ANYTHING can happen.

And although this is NOT JUST a gore film, it does indeed have gore set-pieces (like some films have shoot-outs or car chases) and so these set-pices are made to be as OTT and crowd pleasing as possible.

And having a guy (in the middle of a seemingly normal, daylit public space where the very idea of flesh eating spiders is so unexpected! Which is again a GREAT aspect of the scene) having his face eaten by spiders is just that.....OTT and crowd pleasing.

You can't apply logic to one scene when the WHOLE film is full of logic defying supernatural events.
Which is the point of the film anyway.
