459. Spider Baby or, The Maddest Story Ever Told (1967)

December 7, 2014

My introduction to the movie 'Spider Baby' was from Fantomas' cover of the theme song on their Director's Cut album. The movie is a classic. It is about three adult siblings with a mental condition that causes them to think and behave like children. Their caretaker is Lon Chaney Jr., and he does a good job cleaning up their messes (like when they kill the mail man) and making sure they don't get into trouble. When some relatives come to visit with the intentions of taking over the house, the siblings and the caretaker do what they need to do to stop them. This movie is fantastic, so I definitely recommend you see it. I also recommend you go listen to Fantomas.
