- DirectorNorman ApsteinStarsClint HowardJustin IsfeldAnndi McAfeePoor Gregory. After being released from the Wishing Well Sanatorium, all he wants to do is make the children happy. So Gregory reopens the old ice cream factory, and all the unappreciative brats are reprocessed into the flavor of the day.Atrocious. You just gotta see this one. Clint Howard is a genius.
- DirectorClaudio FragassoStarsMichael Paul StephensonGeorge HardyMargo PreyA vacationing family discovers that the entire town they're visiting is inhabited by goblins, disguised as humans, who plan to eat them.Probably the most notoriously bad horror film ever, this one will confuse you and make your brain melt. Every scene will have you wondering just what were they thinking with this. It MUST be a joke...right? See it for yourself and find out.
- DirectorBruno MatteiClaudio FragassoStarsMargie NewtonFranco GarofaloSelan KarayAfter an experiment gone wrong, a virus that turns people into zombies spreads throughout New Guinea. A female reporter and her cameraman, and a team of four commandos sent to investigate try to survive the onslaught."Hell of the Living Dead' is one stinker of a "Dawn" ripoff. Bruno Mattei even used the psuedonym Vincent Dawn to direct this rotten film.
- DirectorAlbert BandStarsDamon MartinRoyal DanoPhil FondacaroThe Ghoulies wreak havoc at an amusement park, disposing of those who mistake them for mere fairground attractions.Definitely the best little monster movie ever, takes place in a travelling carnival! I mean just look at the cover...
- DirectorJean RollinJulian de LasernaStarsHoward VernonPierre-Marie EscourrouAnouchkaIn a small village, somewhere in France, German soldiers, killed and thrown into the lake by the Resistance during WW II, come back.Awful tale of the national socialist undead rising from a pond somewhere in France. The best part of this one is the random nudity and the green face paint, along with the masterfully shot underwater scenes. Yes!!!
- DirectorJeff BurrStarsAndrew RobinsonAmi DolenzSoleil Moon FryeThrill-seeking teenagers resurrect a demon from his grave and a bloody rampage for revenge begins.What? "Pumpkinhead" without Lance Henriksen? It works on some really stupid level though. I loved it.
- DirectorWilliam GirdlerStarsChristopher GeorgeAndrew PrineRichard JaeckelAn eighteen-foot-tall grizzly bear terrorizes a state park, leaving it up to a Park Ranger to save the day.A young Christopher George is the highlight of this lousy "nature gone awry" tale from the 70's. Anyone wanna go campin?
- DirectorSergio MartinoStarsBarbara BachClaudio CassinelliMel FerrerTourists on a tropical island anger an island god, who turns himself into a giant alligator and stalks them.Dumb movie in which a group of tourists is terrorized by a huge gator in the jungle. The special effects are tip top, with one scene showing the gator eating a van (a rubber gator thrown into an aquarium on top of a Hot Wheels car).
- DirectorMark JonesStarsWarwick DavisJennifer AnistonKen OlandtAn evil, sadistic Leprechaun goes on a killing rampage in search of his beloved pot of gold.Jennifer Aniston and that little guy from "Willow" are top notch here! Scary little guy looking for his gold at the end of his rainbow. Who thought that would work??? Plus I think Jen wears LA Gears in this one!
- DirectorFabrizio LaurentiStarsDavid HasselhoffLinda BlairCatherine HicklandA photographer and others are stranded at a Massachusetts island hotel haunted by a woman in black.Hasslehoff and Linda Blair ham it up in Joe D'Amato's production company's distasteful gore hit from the late 80's. Another spaghetti horror with an extra helping of parmesan CHEESE on top.
- DirectorStephen ChiodoStarsGrant CramerSuzanne SnyderJohn Allen NelsonAliens who look like clowns come from outer space and terrorize a small town.It's hard to classify this as a bad movie but it surely fits the bill. bad acting, ridiculous script, dreadful special effects...it's got it all.
- DirectorUlli LommelStarsSuzanna LoveJohn CarradineRon JamesThrough the reflection in the mirror, a girl witnesses her mother's boyfriend's murder.Pathetic attempt at a horror movie has very few truly scary scenes. It's laughably bad and still entertaining as hell. Ulli shows early signs of greatness!
- DirectorCharles McCrannStarsCharles McCrannBeverly ShapiroDennis HelfendMarijuana growers deep in the woods are hit with a new toxic herbicide, and they turn into mindless cannibals killing everyone they come into contact with.How this wretched movie ever made the Video Nasty list is a mystery for the ages. One thing is for sure though- it makes the BAD HORROR movie list.
- DirectorJim WynorskiStarsKelli MaroneyTony O'DellRussell ToddA group of young shopping mall employees stay behind for a late night party in one of the stores. When the mall goes on lock-down before they can get out, the robot security system malfunctions, and goes on a killing spree.Strange little sci-fi horror flick that takes place...in a mall! How 1986 can we get? This movie sucks.
- DirectorFred Olen RayStarsJo-Ann RobinsonRichard HenchRoger MaycockA group of archeological students venture on Indian land for a dig. Unfortunately, they release an evil spirit who possesses one of them and starts killing the others.Hilariously hapless Native American nature horror that always entertains. Watch it with grandma!
- DirectorJames BryanStarsNick ClelandMary Gail ArtzJames P. HaydenFour friends camping in the woods inadvertently stumble upon the domain of a maniacal killer.Another Video Nasty head-scratcher. Is this really the best they could find? Weak and silly with plenty of...EVERYTHING THAT'S BAD.
- DirectorJohn FasanoStarsCindy CirileJesse D'AngeloChris FinkelAt a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, a hopeful hair-metal band seeking inspiration to record their upcoming new LP will soon find themselves in a furious confrontation against the Prince of Darkness himself.Just a flop of a movie; an excuse for some lame rock star wanna-be to sing some horrendous songs, shirtless. What is there not to hate?
- DirectorBruno MatteiStarsFranca StoppiCarlo De MejoFrancesca CarmenoNuns become possessed by the Devil and lust after the abbot!Bruno Mattei, again? You don't say. Nunspoitation filth and not really anything positive at all to say here. A pitiful movie that I enjoy punishing myself with from time to time.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsOlga KarlatosRay LovelockClaudio CassinelliThe owner of a prestigious New York ballet school teams up with a male model to solve a series of bizarre murders of a few of the students.The best worst Fulci film. Though he is one of my favorite directors of all time, he missed huge with this one. It's not scary, it's not funny...it's just feeble.
- DirectorClaudio LattanziJoe D'AmatoStarsLara WendelRobert VaughnTimothy W. WattsA group of college students go into the woods to study birds. They encounter a strange blind man who's connected to the killer zombies that prowl a dilapidated house deep in the forest.Moronic tale of a some killer birds, somehow associated the "Zombie" namesake, which fails miserably on all levels. Superb turd!
