Whats the worst/ most laughable horror film?

Myybe not horror but more bad/creaky sci-fi? Anyway, I remember something called The Trollenberg Terror that was one of the films our pre-merger ITV station used to trot-out to fill the gaps whenever the national schedule went a bit wonky.

Awful - the "terror" looked like an old bakelite radio that whupped people on a mountain. Ripping stuff! :D
 
yeah, tremors is ace, its not a horror film tho...

I just remembered another one like that but on a beach that was completely pointless and unscary but can't for the life of me remember the title - maybe thats a good thing, dunno...

Blood Beach :D

I quite liked that one.
 
'From Beyond' is a corny horror film, but it's meant to be. One of my favourites.

Really bad horror films usually have good trailers though, eg 'Leprechaun' ("The luck of the Irish . . . just ran out") and 'Dolls' ("They want to play with you . . . until you're dead").

I like that one too and it's by Stuart Gordon who also made From Beyond and Re-Animator.

It must been good fun being one of the extras in Re-Animator!

There was a very bad but inadvertently funny British horror film made around 1980-81. I don't remember the name of it but saw it at the time in a double-bill with 'Creepshow'.

A Punch and Judy man ekes out a living in a shabby seaside resort. Local yobs pelt his stall with bottles and swear at him in an unrealistic manner. Use of restricted camera angles suggests that the Mr Punch puppet comes to life and goes after the yobs, battering them to death with a pick axe handle, all the while chattering away inanely: "Ooooo! Who's a naughty boy? I'm going to thump you again . . . and again . . . and again!"

A local newspaper reporter investigates and it turns out of course that it is the Punch and Judy man who has gone insane and has been running around with the puppet on his hand, murdering all those who have insulted him. After a chase scene he falls off a gantry into the local council rubbish compactor and dies.

What was this film called?
 
Not exactly funny, but the "monsters" in the film version of The Triffids ca. 1955 were both dreadfully ineffective and not exactly scary, so that was a bit laughable... There's one "oh no, they're coming!" scene where the hero hides and watches the triffids creep closer... And closer... And (slowly) closer... For about five minutes. It does go on and on... :rolleyes: A bit like this post. :o

The book was much better... etc.

Dolls is AWESOME!

Not really a horror film, but one of the most shitty laughable films I've ever watched is Scissors, starring a young demi-permed Sharon Stone. Even by its own low standards, it makes no sense and lacks anything close to suspense.

Don't believe the user comments. The atmosphere is not intense, not even when you're stoned enough to be able to see through your own eyelids.

Watched I Spit On Your Grave/Day Of The Woman the other day. Was fucking rubbish.

Of that genre, The Last House On The Left was a bit better.

There were some right dodgy bits in ISOYG. The rape scene was really brutal (which I don't have a problem with, rape scenes shouldn't be in any way sexualised or glossy IMO) but the way she seduced the blokes to get revenge was fucked up salacious shit. I don't get why it's been championed as such a feminist revenge film. The Last House On The Left was well shit though....I though ISOYG was better overall
