- ktycaApril 26, 2025I loved Spider Baby. The atmosphere of the 60’s bleeds out on the screen in wonderful ways. The house and property look like back roads seclusion appropriate for the feel of the movie. I love all the characters, even the side characters are well thought out and have purpose. Great storyline and creepy too for its time. I recommend for all fans of horror or 60’s era films.
