To roughly paraphrase Stephen King...

When the hero opens up the door and comes face to face with the five-foot-tall spider, the reader can't help but be relieved. Subconsciously, they always think, "Thank God it wasn't ten feet tall!"

And if that spider had been ten feet tall? They would have thought, "Thank God it wasn't fifty feet tall!"
