I love horror movies especially the cheesey type of horror movies that are so stupid that they are great. I do prefer the ones that would always appear on SyFy, but any other type (that is not like the ones on SyFy and look a lot better) is fine too.

It's a cinematic masterpiece and I can't be convinced otherwise

You can't be convinced because you're already correct

The film is about a tire that comes to life and kills people with psychokinetic powers.

Amazing.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed but a friend with gold is better I'm told.

Did anyone mention "Troll 2", famously bad, notable because in spite of the title it has no trolls in it?

2.9 on IMDB!

Chopping Mall is terrible fun.

I’d say marathoning Friday The 13th movies is worth a go. For what it’s worth, the fourth and sixth movie are legitimately good, but the rest teeter somewhere between entertaining b-movie and pure trash.

Dead Alive, one of Peter Jackson's (yes, THAT Peter Jackson) first films.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/

More blood than any other movie I've ever seen, and absolutely hilarious...intentionally. A must-see.

Dude Bro Party Massacre III and Velocipastor should satiate hunger for B movies.

FYI, there's no Dude Bro Party Massacre 1 or 2; just 3.

Orgy of the Dead starts off like it's going to be your standard weird bad Ed Wood horror movie. We get to meet Criswell, who you might recognize as inspiration for a character in Fright Night among others. There's also an Elvira type character before Elvira did it better. But then suddenly it's just a topless woman go-go dancing in a fake graveyard. The whole thing suddenly feels like an softcore porn parody of a Gilligan's Island episode. The scene ends, and you might think "Gee, maybe they'll move on to a different location or move the plot along somehow?" Nope, you get a short narration scene and then the next woman comes out with a slightly different costume and dance, still topless though. That scene ends and you think "Well they can't possibly do that again, so maybe now the 'plot' will move along." Nope! More narration, and another topless dancing woman. By the third girl I was bored. But it was funny again with the fourth. With the fifth woman, I gritted my teeth and thought, "When will this end?" But, by the seventh dancing topless woman it was hilarious. Each one of these dancing girls was almost identical, just slightly different slutty costumes and music. At some point they introduce a Zombie and a Wolf man character to leer at the women along with jerk boyfriend and scared girl tied to a post. After it was clear that the ninth topless dancing girl was the last, I felt immense relief and raised a glass to that mad genius Criswell. Those 92 minutes felt like days. This is not a movie to watch sober and alone during the day.

  • Revamped - a very bad vampire movie written by, directed by, and starring the same man
  • Death Bed: The Bed That Eats - a horrible 70s horror movie with a very literal title
  • From Dusk till Dawn

I'm also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren't strictly comedic, but I think they're all fun.

  • Cabin in the Woods
  • Barbarian
  • Get Out
  • Housebound
  • Slither
  • Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
  • most of the Evil Dead movies
  • You're Next
  • Pearl
  • The Guest
  • Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz
  • What We Do in the Shadows
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Slither

Now that's one I haven't heard in a long while. When they open up that barn door and find the one woman...oh boy.

Freddy vs Jason was billed as a horror film but it's really funny, imo. I don't like horror. They leaned into the cheesey bits.

I would recommend the Ginger Snaps movies. I caught them on the SyFy channel a while back, and they're hilariously bad.

Bubba Ho-Tep. You'll either think it's terrible or the best movie ever.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I actually watched this one several years after it was released, but I think it ticks all the check marks you want.

The Gate (1987)

Death Spa!!! It's one of my favs of all time and I never see anyone talk about it. It's like actually good. Like, it's simultaneously so-bad-it's-good, but also just good on its own. Let me know if you check it out, I'd love to hear what you think!
