That is the UGLIEST, spookiest spider I've ever seen. Sure glad it's there and not here. Does he have a portfolio? I'm sure there's a place for him in the movies.

Looks like a Carolina Wolf Spider to me - male. They are BIG. I have a photo in BugFiles of one. It was awesome. But this photo is at the same angle as yours, so better for comparison:

I agree..Wolf Spider..Had a really cool one that had(?laid) her babies..It was neat watching them go from little slimy spots on her back..to scampering around outside their web!!..We watched these babies from the egg sac stage to where they are now..Out terrorizing other folks, who, like me, had never encountered such a creature!!
