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.
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.
The faculty
Boar had me screaming for it to eat everyone. It was really, really fun. (Maybe more so because I have a pet pig, he’s just not the size of a truck.)
I disagree. Not bad at all.

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

More blood than any other movie I’ve ever seen, and absolutely hilarious…intentionally. A must-see.
Especially the lawn mower scene. One of the greatest cheesy horror films ever.
The baby at the playground always gets me.
- Suburban Sasquatch
- chopping mall
- She Came From The Woods
- Army of Darkness
- Carnosaur
- Killer Clowns From Outer Space
- Feeders
- Hack-o-lantern
- Hauntedween
Take your pick, some of these are actual movies, some pretend to be (looking at you Suburban Sasquatch). You’ll have some laughs regardless of the pick.
- Basket Case (1982)
- Fright Night (1985)
- Night of the Creeps
- Return of the Living Dead
Can confirm, Killer Klowns was terrible. The acting was absolutely horrible. The klowns were great. It was so bad it’s a must see.
Oh it’s fantastic, just wanted to throw in at least one reputable film
removed by mod
- 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
Was Barbarian horror-comedy? I thought it played things fairly straight and was a good movie anyway.
That’s one that falls under the “not strictly comedic” but omg if I didn’t burst out laughing at Justin Long’s character several times. It was directed by one of the guys from Whitest Kids U Know and I think that shows through occasionally.
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.
The Blob and Idle Hands come to mind right away
Which The Blob? I think the 1988 one is pretty good.
Idle Hands is a classic
