The Spider's Lullabye is the sixth studio album by King Diamond released in 1995. Unlike other King Diamond albums, it is not a full concept album. Only half the songs form a single plot. It was also the first King Diamond album to be released on the Metal Blade label.

The album was remastered by Andy LaRocque and was re-released in 2009.

The first half of the songs on this album are listed as a variety of short stories before the second half form the plot.

Tells about the protagonist's struggle with an out-of-body experience, forcing himself to come back to life before it is too late.

Describes a Richard Ramirez-type serial killer who is being put to death by electric chair.

Revolves around a ghost hunter who detects a spirit in their home. Fearing the invading ghost is evil, we are left unsure of the ghost's personality. The song ends with the ghost overcoming the hunter, who allows the ghost to "stay forever".

Is about a man suffering a series of terrifying nightmares and encountering she-demons in the form of little girls who take him to what appeared to be a paradise that existed on the opposite side of waterfalls in which they were swimming in. The sleepers finds out the little girls were not what they appeared to be and screams to escape the nightmare.

Tells about a group of cursed children, similar to the 1960 movie Village of the Damned.

It is an alternate chapter — a cutscene from Conspiracy and references from Them telling what would have happened differently if King's mother and his sociopath therapist Doctor Landau had buried him alive in a glass coffin so they (along with his family) could watch him suffer in agony and perish, while his sister Missy kicks dirt in his face, laughing at his pain. His "family" mentioned in the song are: Grandma, King's mother, his sister Missy, his grandfather, etc.
