Since you have the DVD, be sure to run through the extras. The commentary with Jack HIll and Sid Haig is wonderful and helps to show just how much everybody on the film truly cared. <br /><br />And you know, writing this now makes me realize it's been about a year since I last watched Spider Baby. Thanks for the reminder to get back on that!deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-90326684698652395332012-02-21T05:39:22.797-05:002012-02-21T05:39:22.797-05:00I first saw the movie a couple of years or so ago,...I first saw the movie a couple of years or so ago, I'm guessing perhaps on the IFC (Independent Film Channel). Just recently, I ordered a copy from someone on the internet, and I've already watched it twice. LOVE it, for all the things you point out and more. I'm completely baffled as to why this isn't a classic that we see on TV all the time, or at least around Halloween.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-20839817514038254922010-04-16T07:39:25.199-04:002010-04-16T07:39:25.199-04:00Wow that's tempting.

And of course, I totally agree with you on Redeker. He'd be the most awesomest uncle ever! <br /><br />Also, this film holds up extremely well to rewatches since there are so many great and tiny things going on. I grabbed the DVD from Deep Discount a few months back for around $12, and obviously, I'd easily recommend the same.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-80266601263423207002010-04-12T06:13:50.669-04:002010-04-12T06:13:50.669-04:00Excellent stuff!

It is the very rare type of genre film that one can actually adore and so for the reasons you bring up. I remember the moment the opening song came on, I was in love and felt like that track encapsulates all that I love about Halloween the holiday. Great post for a great film, Emily!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.com
