TCMunderground.com Spider Baby Movie Review 1968 7 out of 10

Unable to sleep last night --I stumbled across cool  Turner Classic Movies series that shows late night Camp horror movies.   The movie last night  was called  Spider Baby  (aka Attack of the Liver Eaters aka The Maddest Story Ever Told)

Spider Baby    1968     7

A truly  Delightful--campy horror film ---Cool creepy lighting and acting --definitely a fun little diversion --from an otherwise bad week.   The story is based around a weird family with a brain disease that turns them in cannibals.  The family chauffeur played by Lon Chaney Jr.  takes care of the crazy teens that are visited by some cousins that want their fortune and their lawyer---Mayhem insues.  If you like chessy horror movies --give this flick a try --it can be rented on Netflix.

 .

The movie has some classic lines  --here is a sampling from the cool

Bruno: "It's more than retardation. It's a sort of regression. A progressive deterioration of the mental faculties. Uh, a rotting of the brain, so to speak. It, uh, begins in late childhood and progresses rapidly, ultimately resulting in physical deformity."

----------

Bruno: "The Master believed—and he should know—that the eating of flesh would hasten their condition."--

-----

Bruno: "Ralph's allowed to eat anything that he catches."

Peter: "Hey, are you really a Wolf Fan Ma—a Wolfman fan, Ann?"
Ann: "Oh yes. I think that's how every man should be... like a wild beast."

Elizabeth: "Ugh, spiders aren't supposed to eat other spiders." Virginia: "Cannibal spiders do."

Elizabeth: What's it gonna do, Bruno? Bruno, The Chauffeur: Well, it's gonna it's gonna make a big flash and go bang! Virginia: Oh boy!
