Friday the 13th!

Post by KathleenJ »

Mwa ha ha.
Edit: Upon looking at this post again, I feel I have to say that the final Friday the 13th movie, Jason Goes To Hell, may just be the WORST act of film I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot.
I now think this thread should be about the Worst Movies Ever.

Hey I have some bad horror movies here that you should make Justin watch when you are down next. (In 13 years or so.)

They are on every Sat so by the time you are next down I will have a good selection for you to pick from.

Dr. Butcher, M.D.

This reminds me of two hilariously bad, crap-of-all-crap, early 1970s horror movies...Dr. Bloodbath, and Body Shop.
They're both about mad docs conducting evil experiments...Bloodbath is trying to make zombies, and the doc in Body Shop is trying to build an ideal woman out of body parts. And they both have the lowest looking production values I've ever seen on screen.
The best part is that Dr. Bloodbath drives around in this sinister car that has some kind of blade sticking out the window. He drives by people and beheads them. Which is even less convincing when you stop to think that for this to work, the people would have to be around midget height.
Also, does anyone remember Dr. Giggles? Horrible movie, but earns a place in the campy horror pantheon for having a scene where the title character says "Oh, have a heart" and throws a human heart at someone.

Dr. Butcher M.D. was a film about a man who created zombies out of people in Africa. I think. The plot shifted around, and it hurt my head. They would be in the U.S., then Africa, then their U.S. clinic IN AFRICA.
Mostly people got chased.

The movies I have (so far) waiting are Tenebre, and Supiria! One is about an author who is stalked by a murderer! Then the murder dies, only to have that murderer by murdered by a new murderer who then gets murdered by a different murderer who gets mudered......wash rinse repeat.
Then the other one is a REAL headache.

I sugests everyone watch these movies ASAP.

Er. I generally avoid movies with bad reviews.
But I once heard a review that got "beyond turkey". The reviewer couldn't do anything but gape and stare in disbelief for thge course of the whole movie. Cowboys from Norway. "For video only", of course..

The film starts with a long, slow panorama of a barren landscape. With camera shaking.
On close inspection, the whole movie is done handheld. Even the stills.

Other highlights include:
* The story is from the US/Mexican border, but the english is done with a strong norwegian accent.
* The difference between Mexico and the US is this: On the mexican side, everything is filmed with a light red camera filter. On the US side, everything is filmed with a light blue filter.
* The "town" scenes are done in norway's most known amusement park, and from the rather static camer angles it's rather obvious they've had problems avoiding rollercoasters and ferris wheels in the background.
* The fight scenes are done in slow motion, then speeded up for the release. It'd be fun seeing gravity works in such an environment..

That's when you feel sorry for the guys..

Terror Toons (oh my god it was awful)
Orgy of the Dead (sounds cool right?! WRONG! there was no orgy.. or

Oh my god, I wonder if Cowboys From Norway is available to rent here?
Personally, I think truly bad movies are as fun to watch as good movies.
Not just mediocre-bad...you need a hardcore badness that transcends bad into ludicrous.
Also, a movie that's just plain crap, without being good-bad is "A Crack In The Floor". My roommate and I just picked it randomly out of the Horror section a few days ago. It just felt like the makers couldn't decide what they were doing...they spent the whole movie developing some protagonists and their relationships, apart from horror...and then in the last quarter, everyone gets axed by this maniac that lives under the floor.
I dunno...I know that's how horror movies go, but this just didn't mesh.
Pure, undiluted guano. And it had the guy who played Slater on Saved By The Bell!

Ok I want to see Cowboys from Norway now.


I don't watch a lot of horro movies but I remember watching Killer Clowns from Outer Space. The only things I remember are one the clowns killing people by using a shadow puppet of a t-rex to eat them and that they were killed by popping their noses.



Oh and House on Hunted Hill (the 99 version the one with Chris Katten) had a truely sucky ending. "Yay everyone else has died so we get their share of the price money, yay."

Oh.

One:
I haven't visited a video store in ages. Heck, I don't even have a TV screen here.

Two:
These things have the tendency to be withdrawn, once they recognize the amounts of
embarrasment involved. I'm not sure of course, bur the last turkey to go on the movies here
got withdrawn right after having paid the investment. It was named Dis (Light Fog)
and was known to contain just about every sticky, worn-out romance clich

When it comes to 70's crapper horror films, the worst that comes to my mind is "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things".

Brrr....

It's worse than a knock-off... it's a blatant rip of Night of Living Dead... only kind of like a teen-film gone berserk. The only member of the cast who tries to act is obviously stressing his two summer-course acting classes from the community college beyonds their breaking point.
Ancient relic of a by-gone era.

There is another funny horror movie called "The Stuff" where these guys find this odd white "stuff", and they do what any normal American would do.

They think it's snow (inside in the summer), and EAT IT!
Saddly the movie goes down hill from there.

Don't even get me started about the movie that had Jesus as the villian, and he had a vaginia on his chest.....

Wait, you mean we're NOT supposed to eat white stuff that comes from the ground?

I see these people going to Hell

Eating white stuff that comes from the ground is BAD! (Then they mass market it, and everyone loves THE STUFF as they decide to market it.)

I've been trying to find a pic online of Jesus with his "special part" showing on his chest, but no luck.

And the irony is, that's exactly the kind of picture you'd find by accident on the internet when you WEREN'T looking for it, and it'd spawn a hundred popups when you tried to get it the hell closed down.
But yeah, I crown that the ultimate champion so far of horrible horror movie concepts. :o
