Title: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: daveblackeye15 on November 06, 2012, 05:46:08 PM I watched it as a teenager and while I don't think I was quite like my other MTV generation I remember being bored and not liking it. Hell I barely remember any of it. So I'm curious if it is worth a re-watch or not. I faintly remember one reviewer praising it and I have no clue who it was.

Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: Rev. Powell on November 06, 2012, 07:55:16 PM I think it's an absolute classic. The atmosphere is subtle, but beyond bizarre. You were probably just too young when you watched it.
Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: Kaseykockroach on November 06, 2012, 08:11:18 PM I wanted a half human infant-half arachnid creature.
Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: Pilgermann on November 07, 2012, 01:07:10 AM That's a great film! Totally demented but funny, maybe even slightly touching for a moment. I can't say anything bad about it.
Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: RCMerchant on November 07, 2012, 05:11:34 AM It's got Lon Chaney Jr.,Mantan Moreland in a cameo (getting his ear cut off!),and an early role for Sid Haig!
Plus cannabilism! Lon also sings the opening theme! I love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7RT9OGzXL4 Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: The Burgomaster on November 07, 2012, 12:12:55 PM I have it on DVD. It's worth seeing, but it's not the kind of movie I will watch repeatedly. There are other "cult classics" that I would choose to watch before this one.

The humor is a little strange, but that for me is what makes it fun. I also love Jill Banner as Virginia. She is also in another film I like The President's Analyst.
(http://i2.listal.com/image/465862/600full-jill-banner.jpg) Ozzymandias has spoken!!! Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: the ghoul on November 08, 2012, 10:01:00 PM I like this one a lot, but if you didn't like it at all then, I don't see why you would like it any better now.
Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: jimpickens on November 10, 2012, 12:17:34 AM Saw this movie on TCM and I love it I believe this movie is where Rob Zombie got his idea for House Of 1,000 Corpses.
Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: RCMerchant on November 10, 2012, 06:07:48 AM SPIDER BABY walks the line of horror and comedy.
So does films like the EVIL DEAD 2-enjoy it-it is what it is. Lon Chaney saying "There's a full moon tonight" makes it for me. :smile: Title: Re: Anyone else seen Spider Baby? Post by: Allhallowsday on November 10, 2012, 12:58:19 PM It's got Lon Chaney Jr.,Mantan Moreland in a cameo (getting his ear cut off!),and an early role for Sid Haig! Don't forget BEVERLY WASHBURN is in there, and CAROL OHMART too...! Plus cannabilism! Lon also sings the opening theme! I love it...! SPIDER BABY stinks. Of course I love it and own it on DVD.
