The spiders aren't really the work of the enemy. They're a side effect, a part of the Dark Place's less siginifcant fauna that has managed to slip through the opening I made when I arrived; less an animal than an idea that has assumed the form of an animal.
It makes them no less dangerous, but at least they're a little easier to deal with: the darkness doesn't protect them like the Taken, and thus they can be destroyed by either light or bullets right away.
