About The Nickel Presents - SPIDER BABY AKA THE MADDEST STORY EVER TOLD
SPIDER BABY
AKA THE MADDEST STORY EVER TOLD
(1967, USA, Jack Hill)
“The family that slays together, stays together.”
Welcome to the Merrye House—wipe your feet, lose your mind.
Somewhere off the highway, hidden behind overgrown hedges and half-buried warning signs, the last members of the Merrye family live in decaying splendor. They suffer from a rare genetic disorder that causes them to regress into violent, childlike savagery… and today’s the day distant relatives arrive to take over the estate.
Bad idea.
Directed by cult legend Jack Hill (Coffy, Switchblade Sisters) and starring a wonderfully off-kilter Lon Chaney Jr., Spider Baby is a twisted, gothic black comedy that plays like The Addams Family by way of Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Part haunted house, part backwoods horror, part sad little fairy tale—this is one of the strangest, most charming horror oddities of the 1960s.
SATURDAY 28TH JUNE
