oh absolutely! i thought that too right away when i saw that it was this demented secluded family, and with Sid Haig?? but when i really felt the connection to "House" was when Emily was trying to make her getaway running in panick through the feilds and trees in the skimpy lingerie with the girls following behind, knives in hand, calling for her in twisted melodic voices "Emilyyy, where are youuu?"
I'd always thought Texas Chainsaw was Zombie's inspiration for his movie but i know now this clearly was also a strong influence.
Ive seen my fair share of horror movies from this era and this one definately stands out. given the year of its release its not as campy as so many were (and dont get me wrong, im a fan of the camp) but Spider Baby actually kept me on the edge of my seat, brilliantly terrifying!
