―Aunt Spiker to James

Aunt Spiker is James' aunt, Sponge's sister, and one of the two main antagonists of the 1996 live-action film, James and the Giant Peach. It is unknown whether Spiker and Sponge are the sisters of James' father or mother, or possibly his great-aunts since they appear to be elderly in the book’s illustrations.
