Spider Baby (1968)

Roger Corman associate Jack Hill directly influenced The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with this taboo-obliterating horror-com about a family of cannibals who live in a dilapidated mansion and prey on passers-by.

Chaney sings the title tune: “Cannibals, spiders, creep and crawl/ And boys and ghouls, having a ball!”

Argh! Wolfing dinner before a trussed-up guest.

Daughters Of Darkness (1971)

A honeymooning couple rub up against a pair of lesbian vampires in a deserted hotel on the Ostend shoreline.

Shot in lush reds, this Belgian curio makes sex and violence a classy affair by shrouding its heated content in the hushed morgue atmospherics of, say, Death In Venice or Last Year In Marienbad.

Delphine Seyrig’s cougar vamp is Dietrich with fangs.

Argh! Vampires don’t like running water so a spot of shower sex turns the bathroom red.
