Best Unintentionally Hilarious Horror Movie Ever

[3_20_59_or_bust]

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 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.

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.

Rowsdower!!!

[Malleus_Incus_Stapes]

I stand corrected. Rowsdower.

I stand corrected. Rowsdower.

It wasn’t a correction, actually. I was just doing the riff.

I was going to come in with Death Bed: The Bed that Eats People, but I thought I saw it on Cracked once and…

Yep, The 5 Most Half-Assed Monsters in Human History.

Drat. I was going to do that.

Screw it.

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…

The epitomie of lame-ass horror movies has to be Night of the Lepus.

Giant killer … rabbits? Whoever thought that was a scary idea?

Night of the Lepus - Wikipedia

While the stupidity and lameness of the “special effects” is funny, fact is that this movie is just plain bad - too bad to really be worth watching, even for yuks.

Hey - I was traumatised TRAUMATISEDI tells ya by this movie ( I had to be 5 or 6 at the time) and you never know what unintentional side effects stuff like that can have.

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.

Robot Monster 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.

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!

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.

Just got my ticket, this will be epic.

This is playing right across the street from my house. 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?)
