Every now and again, Netflix does something to really impress me. Now, you can watch "Spider Baby" on Instant View. Well done, Netflix. If you want to see an example of how well Lon Chaney could act (as well as an early Sid Haig and the phenomenal Jill Banner, who died prematurely in a car accident) - watch this film. It wasn't released in Chaney's lifetime and that was a shame. This is low-budget, cult classic that "got it right".

Wow, I didn't know that about Jill Banner. That severely bums me out. She was awesome.

Banner hadn't acted in a decade when she died in 1982.

Trivia question (no Googling now): which of the cast members of Spider Baby would go on to win an Academy award?
