Spider Baby
a.k.a. The Maddest Story Ever Told / Cannibal Orgy
1967 · Directed by Jack Hill · USA
Jack Hill’s Spider Baby (1967) is an intriguing and strange film, with Lon Chaney Jr. as a chauffeur struggling to keep the lid on a family of miscreants, including Spider Baby herself, Virginia.
Interest in the family estate is raised by the “normal” part of the family, and the true eccentricities come to the fore with deadly consequences.
An early appearance from genre icon Sid Haig as Ralph, and Jill Banner as Virginia is particularly unhinged in her memorable debut.
