FINAL GIRL FILM CLUB: SPIDER BABY<\/span><\/span>. All the linkalicious Spider Baby<\/span> love you can handle\u2013and more, much more\u2026.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can\u2019t talk about this film without talking about the humor. Well, you can, but you\u2019d be neglecting a large part of its charm. The opening credits, featuring a \u201cMonster Mash\u201d-style theme song sung by Chaney himself, clue us in that we\u2019re going to have fun with these kooky cannibals. And we do: they crack jokes and even bizarrely mug at the camera. It all works so well thanks to the performances. Everyone dives into his or her role with complete abandon and glee; the Merryes are hilariously over-the-top, while Chaney turns in a surprisingly heartfelt performance as their kindly, long-suffering caretaker. There\u2019s an Addams Family vibe to the entire affair, and in the end we\u2019re left to wonder who\u2019s more horrifying: the sadistic, murderous family on the hill, or their greedy, square, city-dwelling relatives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
