If you’re looking strictly for unintentional gold, then I’m going to go with the new trailer for Final Destination 14, or whatever they’re up to now. When the Car Wash brush is coming at the person’s head sticking out of the sunroof…oh God, I’m tearing up just thinking about it! And the look of abject fear on the person’s face… OH NO, it’s a car wash coming to kill me! ---

**Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte** hasn’t aged well My son & my sister rolled all over the floor when I showed it to them. It terrified me as a young teen!. I don’t know how to do spoilers so lets just say special effects have improved a lot since then! 😛 ---

I’m pretty sure _Troll 2_ will always win this discussion. It’s on Hulu if interested, but it’s definitely best watched in a theatre surrounded by people who think it’s hilarious. ---

[The Killer Shrews](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052969/) doesn’t seem to be intentionally funny, but it is funny. How can a movie where one of the major plot devices is walls made of clay for no reason **not** be humorous? ---

I went on a MST3K binge a while ago, and the best unintentionally funny premise was _Final Sacrafice_. One word: Candians. You see, there was this lost Atlantis-y city of premordial **Canadians** (not Native American Canadians, mind you- there people were there before them) and it was all happy and shiny and rich and wonderful. Except, because of some evil cult or evil god or something, it sank into the ground, and no sign was left of the Lost **Canadians** , except for the cult. Which is trying to get Not-Atlantis back, or maybe they’re making it stay sunk, I’m not sure. So fast-foward to the present, and you’ve got this evil cult of ancient **Canadians** trying to sacrafice some people or other to their evil **Canadian** god. And they nearly kill the heros, but then the heros defeat them and raise up the amazing shining **Canadian** Atlantis. Also, one of the heros is named Zap Rowdowser. ---

> [@TV\_time](#): > > No one has mentioned **Plan Nine From Outer Space** , Ed Wood’s masterpiece? I thought this thread was about it when I saw the title. It is the definition of _Best Unintentionally Hilarious Horror Movie Ever_. I have a feeling if you look the phrase up in the dictionary, the poster for the film will be there. Plan Nine is not a movie, it’s an institution. Such a giant of bad cinema hardly needs be mentioned. ---

**The Happening** … A couple of Rifftrax quotes from the film; Yes, there’s a cheap monster effect for you, the _WIND_… the only thing scarier would be _LOW HUMIDITY!_ Gaah, RUN, the rented industrial fan just off camera is coming for us… ---

Y’all do know that there will be a one-time-only Rifftrax Live “performance” of _Plan 9 From Outer Space_, featuring the MST3K guys, in digital movie theaters around the country **TONIGHT** , Thursday, Aug. 20, right? And yes, it will really be live, except on the West Coast. More info [here.](http://www.ncm.com/Fathom/Comedy/RiffTrax.aspx?utm_source=Rifftrax_Live_Home) ---

[Robot Monster](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046248/) is the best bad movie I’ve ever seen. The monster is a guy in a gorilla suit with a diving bell helmet. There’s an infamous scene where the monster comes to wipe out the last few remaining hu-mans on earth. The scene intercuts the monster walking along a canyon floor with the hu-mans awaiting their destruction. This goes on for several minutes of screen time - the monster walks and walks and walks and walks and walks and walks. Then he walks some more, followed by more walking. Every so often the movie includes footage of dinosaurs fighting for no particular reason - these scenes have nothing to do with the plot. And these are the **good** parts of the movie. ---

> [@pbbth](#): > > It was very well done for what it was. It was scary enough that my boyfriend had to walk away from it a couple of times so it was a success on that level, but come on, when she bites off the penis of the guy who lives in his garage and he picks it up and kind of attempts to stick it back on while it is still wearing a condom was hilarious and when her step brother’s penis literally falls out of her when she stands up was comic gold! I just saw the trailer, and read this. Now I want to see this movie! ---

> [@Ataraxia](#): > > Blood freak. A biker is turned into a giant turkey headed monster by a mad scientist and proceeds to kill exclusively drug addicts for their blood. Atrociously bad production values; at one point you can actually hear the director say “Action”. I love the scene where the on screen narrator has a coughing fit from the cigarettes he chain-smokes the whole movie. > [@lissener](#): > > But back to the thread, see _Brain Dead_. I think there’s a little wink-wink/nudge-nudge here too, but when the brain sucking alien worm is represented by a talking sock puppet, it’s worth the ride, intentional or not. Brain Damage. Brain Dead (A.K.A. Dead Alive) was the Peter Jackson zombie movie with the lawnmower. There was also another unrelated movie Brain Dead. ---

It’s a \<5 minute walk. But due to scheduling conflicts I can’t go!!! I’m totally bummed, and I only hope it will become available for viewing sometime after the live performance. (Have previous RiffTrax films been shown again after the fact?) ---
