Film Fest Gent - Videodroom 2026: Wolf Eyes x 'Spider Baby': Dates, Cities & Tickets

*Film Fest Gent, Videodroom 2026: Wolf Eyes × “Spider Baby”*

Dive into the wildest re‑imagining of 1967’s exploitation cult classic Spider Baby (also known as Cannibal Orgy and The Maddest Story Ever Told). In a derelict mansion, the last remnants of the Merrye family live in anarchic, child‑like madness, frozen by a genetic curse that drives them into cannibalism and homicidal urges. Virginia (Jill Banner) sees herself as a human spider and prowls for prey, while Ralphie (Sid Haig) stalks stray cats for dinner. Their eccentric chauffeur/butler Bruno (Lon Chaney Jr.) keeps order until distant relatives and a slick lawyer reveal their claim to the inheritance, unleashing chaos that has never been seen before. Directed by cult auteur Jack Hill, best known for Coffy, Foxy Brown, and Switchblade Sisters and hailed by Quentin Tarantino as “the Howard Hawks of exploitation cinema”, the film blends dark humor with brutal horror, hovering between The Addams Family and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a cartoonish, twisted grindhouse spectacle.

This exclusive screening is elevated by an all‑new soundtrack from Michigan‑based avant‑noise pioneers Wolf Eyes (John Olson & Nate Young). Their signature blend of noise, industrial, free jazz, and avant‑garde transforms the film into an intense, hypnotic experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Join us for an unforgettable night where classic exploitation meets radical sound. Details & tickets are available now.
