For some reason this wonderful mask makes me think of Virginia Merrye, the original spider baby of the demented Merrye family in the 1968 film, Spider Baby. Although not Lovecraftian expressly, Spider Baby lives up to Lovecraft’s theme of degenerate bloodlines in old families. This mask would be perfect in a sequel film set years later with Virginia as Spider Queen.
