Electronic Webcaster Gun makes Halloween decorating a cinch
If you want your house to look a little more like a set piece for Arachnophobia, this Electronic Webcaster Gun should do just the trick. It's loaded up with "Web Sticks" that give it something of a glue gun feel, but — instead of hot glue — it shoots out icky streams of webbing.
You've got a few options, here:
One package of Web Sticks covers approx. 350 square feet, or one 12-ft. x 15-ft. room. Choose Clear for traditional webs which glow blue under black light; Glow In The Dark for an even stronger eerie effect; or Neon Yellow for webs that glow yellow under black light.So, unless you're Spider-Man, it's probably the easiest way to get those webs in hard to reach places. The Webcaster itself along with six sticks costs $50, while replacement sticks are bought in packages of 20 for $6.
Update: As Realist pointed out in the comments below, you'll need an air compressor rated for 90 psi.

This reminds me of one of those fiberglass guns only less deadly if you inhale the product that comes out the end.
Also, shooting web into hard to reach places seems like a cleaning nightmare after Halloween is over.

Might want to mention that this REQUIRES an air compressor to do.. well.. anything aside from dribble goop out the end.

This *is* a glue gun. The glue is readily available at craft stores in all the colors mentioned (and more), You can make your own "web gun" by adding the air line and nozzle to the typical $10 glue gun.
And yes, it will be a cleaning nightmare.

These have been available for years.

At the Ironstock Halloween Festival in Indiana I saw these in action. Very cool, but I agree, a cleaning disaster when its over.
It does need an air compressor as stated and you have to clean off the tip of the gun after a short time.

If I am Spider-Man, I'm still interested because my webs disintegrate after an hour or so!
