1964. I know Kfleet is not particularly fond of this era of horror. Spider Baby is, however, the kind of camp you always hear people raving about. Every now and then a star’s career is revived and people begin talking about some of their older work and this case that person is Sid Haig. (House of 1000 corpses/Devil’s Rejects.) A messenger arrives at a rundown mansion with word that long lost family members of the deceased owners are going to arrive. He is met by a girl who is playing “spider” who basically cuts off parts of the guys face. (Not graphically this is the 1960’s.) This is pretty much the vibe of the whole movie. Its sort of a guess who’s coming to dinner atmosphere like the beginning of House of 1000 corpses but its very PG. That being said all in all its entertaining but not good. It’s probably worth a watch. Unlike other horror films of the era its starting to get into slasher territory way ahead of its time. Probably only for people who have an affection for old twilight zones.
