    Just out of curiosity:

    How do you create spiderwebs?

    Try stretching out cotton. It's the cheapest and safest way. I've also heard of production desingers using real spiders. Maybe its just a rumor. Or you can call me and I'll web up your set. ;)

    Model airplane glue. (Messy)

    Or get a cotton-candy machine and remove the container so you have the spinning thing exposed. (Also messy, but you can eat the mess afterwards)

    If you have a lot of money, there is a cool way mentioned in Return of the King Extended Edition.

    If you do a web search on Halloween prop building you find lots of options. One I've seen is a "web sprayer" made from a small margerine tub and a large model airplain propeller -- the device is filled with rubber cement and attached to a drill to spread the webs.

    I've done what Jonny describes. It works well, but it's best if you can use the halloween spider webs in a bag, and then use the sprayer to accent it.
