Official Poster for ‘Spider Baby’ Remake Resurrects the Maddest Story Ever Told

Jack Hill’s 1967 cult classic horror movie Spider Baby is getting a remake from filmmaker Dustin Ferguson (Cocaine Cougar, Mega Ape), and we’ve learned today that the film will be premiering on Halloween night. At The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, CA on October 31, fans will have their very first chance to see the new take on the maddest story ever told.

The red carpet, general admission premiere is taking place at 6pm, and the special screening will include Director Introduction, Cast/Crew Q&A, plus a Merch table.

Production on the Spider Baby remake is complete, but Ferguson and the team have launched a new Indiegogo campaign to help out with their post-production expenses.

The team explains, “The new film promises to reimagine the beloved cult film – which starred Sid Haig and Lon Chaney Jr. – for a new generation of horror enthusiasts.”

The original film’s director, Jack Hill, served as the Executive Producer for this brand new project, which is said to “ensure a respectful homage to the 1967 cult classic.”

Beverly Washburn, a notable presence from the original Spider Baby as “Elizabeth,” returns to the film in a new role. Also joining the cast is Ron Chaney, the grandson of the legendary Lon Chaney Jr. His appearance in the film pays tribute to the Chaney family’s profound legacy in the horror genre, and his grandfather’s involvement in the original movie.

Additionally, the film features Brinke Stevens, best known for her role in 1982’s Slumber Party Massacre, as well as Robert Mukes (House of 1000 Corpses).

Adding to the creative team for the Spider Baby remake is Jeff Burr, known for his work on Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, who served as the Creative Consultant.
