thanks, C, but mine's got lots of gratuitous sex in it. why? because i miss that in bad horror movies. this PG-13 stuff doesn't cut it most of the time, lol. besides, zombies are just a small part of it, i've got an entire 'league of evil' (though i'll have to come up with a better name than something i ripped-off from 'the simpsons') trying to take over the world, starting with l.a.. that's just a funny place, too many easy gags to pass up, like when they impale all the heads of stars that just irk me, such as michael moore who continues to speak after dead and tara reid whose head just bounces around because there's no brain there to hold it steady on the stake. just stupid humour, no sophistication. my heroine is a french nun with tatooes and wears sexy lingerie under her dress. silly, goofy junk. kung fu mummies. skeleton guards who can't see or hear for a damn, and with no way to yell, they can't raise an alarm-- just poor planning on the league's part. the grizzled old man who knows everything, his eye patch moves from side to side in alternating scenes (brilliant, eh? okay, maybe not). i forget all the dumb ideas; one that pops to mind is the generic bad guy that's a compilation of jason, darth vader, freddy, etc., whose wicked glove has a razor sharp knife, spoon, fork and screwdriver ala freddy's glove. it's okay because it's a parody and you can get away with ripping-off stuff easier. :) gotta put some scary stuff in there, too, though. think naked gun/monty python junk.

Worst:

Redneck Zombies by Troma


Sidenote:

I think that House of 1000 Corpses was excellent. The filmmaking was fresh, the imagery startling, and the juxtaposition of the killers' beliefs to the brutality was interesting. I think someone mentioned it being plotless, but in fact it is no more plotness than any other horror movie that involves teens becoming lost and chased around by mad killers (really, what's the plot in the Friday the 13ths, the Nightmare series, or the Halloween films?). I think that Rob Zombie creates an interesting mythology and bases his film around these kids who get stuck in it. The characters were well-acted and memorable. What more can you ask for in a horror movie?

'the thing below.' tagline: fear is rising. starring... some actors. my wife thought she recognized one from a soap she used to watch.

seems a radioactive alien, mind-reading, telepathic (in that it's able to project hallucinations into people's head), shape-shifting octopus thing (no, not making any of this up, i'm afraid) is bent on killing everyone in its path. doesn't matter why, it's not explained anyway. it's entertaining in its utter awfulness. it does, however, feature some of the worst f/x i've ever seen. i mean, seriously, you have to see these to believe 'em. i've seen better production values on public access where daylight is considered a special effect.

it's one of those movies where when something technical is about to be said, someone else says, 'i don't want to hear that crap, just tell me what it means!' because the writer hasn't a blue clue in a shoe what he's talking about anyway and needs a way to cover his bad, lazy writing.

this is completely, totally, utterly, unsanely, bizarrely and ridiculously bad, which makes it worth watching. if there was one single thing about this movie that made a lick of sense, i'd tell you. there is a woman who shows off her giant fake boobs, though, so there's that.

this could be a different category: movies that suck that could have been cool. my first pick would be 'the ice queen.' could have been scary, but it was just dumb and boring as hell.

I don't normally watch horror films.

On May 30, 1980, though, I saw what had to be one of the worst ever. The Howling. It was so idiotic I wanted to leave but the guy I was with wouldn't go.

What a waste of film, an evening, and a guy.

Just a thought.

I know alot of the good horror movies are being re-made. Of the movies you've posted here, would any of see the movie(s) again if it was re-made?

i can't remember all the movies here, but, yeah, probably, were they to have decent production values and a serious re-write. then again, they wouldn't really be the same movie, lol.

I'm not sure if this one has been mentioned yet or not, I didn't see it anywhere, but I watch a movie tonight that was horrible. It was called Do you Wanna Know a Secret. It had Joe Lawerence and Chad Allen in it. This movie was like I Know What you did Last Summer meets Urban Legends in a way. The script and plot were terrible. I knew who the killer was before half the movie was over. They made it way too easy. I mean when you see all the other people killed except for one, it's pretty easy to figure out who it is.

Anaconda.

And the one about the pirhanas.

*groan* They were both so awful they were funny.
I lost two hours of my life and £5 to Anaconda.

I resent the fact that I can't have them back.
