Sorry, lost track after part two...aaaaah, sequels!

The Ring 2 was pretty good from what I remember.

THE FEAR! If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about.
Oh this and "The Leprechan", I actullay saw that in the theater, that is until I got up and walked out.

The Ring 2 was pretty good from what I remember.Really? I hated it. Worst ever, not even close. Still, terrible sequel.

Milhouse!! A "documentary" about Richard Nixon's early years. Scary!

HorrorVision

the latest exorcist , paul schrader version. It was so bad that they hired that european director reny something to make a second version. Then that second version did bad so they brought back the schrader version and it bombed. What a mess!

A strong contender for worst?

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch

Not for production quality, plausibilty, or even acting...but rather just for being an incredibly stupid idea that marred an otherwise notable franchise.

oops, looks like a double post - sorry, I keep getting error messages on these forums this week and weird things keep happening.

"Prince of Darkness"

Made by John Carpenter in 1987. Not only did it suck really bad, I just remember thinking leaving the theater. "What was THAT about." None of it made any sense.

Wow! One of my favourites...
We definitely have a different opinion on Horror films. ;)

It creeped me out when I saw it in the theater. Of course, that was a LONG time ago.

EDIT: I agree with Halloween III

John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness" was really well made (and easy to follow). All of his films are great, in my opinion. Some of his others: They Live, Starman, Vampires, The Thing....

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have posted that one. I still agree with myself on this one...but it was a long time ago and maybe a re-watch would change my opinion. I'm not going to go rent it though because if my opinion then goes to support my previous statement,... well, I'm just going to be bitter.

So I'll just pretend I didn't post it.

So can I safely offer up the following for consideration?

C.H.U.D.
(Whether it stood for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers - or as you discover in the film it means Contaminated Hazardous Urban Disposal, the name and the film poster let you know early on that C.H.U.D. is going to S.U.C.K.)

Anaconda
And get this (stifling laughter....) They made a sequel!

Maximum Overdrive
King's directorial debut had a lot of potential, but just didn't deliver. The teaser of the film was playing in theaters several months before release and didn't show any of the film at all. Instead, it showed Stephen King standing in front of a black backdrop, looking at the camera, and telling the viewer how freakin' scary the movie was going to be. This 90 seconds of teaser was very creepy because King's glaring eyes were very unsettling...he is kinda scary looking. But the movie itself was a total washout. (The teaser was almost worth the price of admission. The actual film screamed REFUND)

Looks like I am once again a 'thread grim reaper'. I just dropped in to listen to the echo.

Hello?

Blood Stalkers.

Good luck finding this thing, and if you watch it, maybe you can explain what in the world is going on in it. It's been 10+ yeasrs since I've seen it, but I do remember at one point a gorilla arm reaching through a window to choke someone. Yeah, seriously.

The Hills Have Eyes


Whaaat? I just saw this over the weekend, flippin through channels.

There is so much about it that doesn't work - story, stunts, acting. Some interesting makeup effects is the only plus it has.

Which one? The original or the remake?

The remake:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454841/

You know whats strange is that I use to love Wes Craven's stuff. There were just too many issues with the plot and the acting was not very good. I don't know that I've seen the original Wes Craven version though, I hope it's better.

House of the Dead & Alone in the Dark! Uwe Boll!!!

The original is better, The hills have eyes part 2 is coming out soon, I know I'll see, even though it's against my better judgement.

I don't expect to much with my horror films. I liked Maximum Overdrive, I enjoyed Ananconda and it's sequel.

I'm usually not expecting the next Psycho or Halloween with a horror film. I expect camp, cheap thrills, gratuitous gore and sex and a shallow plot. But I still love horror films.

That's not to mean I don't realize when a film is bad; i.e. one of my favorite films ever is The Return of the Living Dead.

I'm with John, I dont expect too much from horror films. To me, almost all are bad in one way or another. I just like em for entertainment purposes.

I found these to be big time offenders though.

Cursed - Someone told me recent it was supposed to me a comedy. I wish they had told me that before

Holloween 3 - It totally went over my head.

Hostel - After all the hype, I was super dissapointed. Would have made a better short film

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: the beginning - Used almost every lame horror cliche in the book. if this was made 15 years ago, i wouldnt have cared, but the filmmakers should know damn well that horror audiences are too smart to fall for half the things in the film.

House of 1000 Corpses - Rob Zombie likes his evil characters a little bit too much. Since they had all the power in the film, I was bored waiting for the kids to die.

I dont know about worst, but here's the scariest horror film Ive ever seen.

VOLGA!!

THE FEAR! If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about.

Did that film feature a wooden mannequin?

Evil Dead - the sequels managed to outshine the original.
Tromeo and Juliet - Troma films made this very very b grade horror film some years back.

Look...
Unless you are familliar with early '80s Italian zombie cinema...
You don't even know what bad is.



Erotic Nights Of The Living Dead


Rent it and tell me I'm wrong...


:)

Justin, yes it did, and other than "leprecuhan" it's one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen.

Just to add to the list, friday the 13th, the one where "jason is in outer space"
sorry I don't remember which number it is? I think it's friday the 13th part 10? Either way it was really bad.

The People Under the Stairs.

Rent it, I think it's secretly a comedy. It's that bad.

-C. Collins

So last week, during a lengthy render, I turned on AMC and watched a movie called "Pinata: Survival Island".

This isn't the worst horror movie of all time, but it definately worked hard to make the list. I knew in the first 30 seconds that it would suck, but I watched it anyway. It did. But it was also just completely laughable in it use of CG, hilarious stuff. I won't go into it here, you just gotta watch it.

To make it even worse, the next day, I emailed my brother and told him about it, except I lied about its quality. We share a liking for some incredible frightening horror movies we watched growing up, the quality of which is rarely found, and I told him that "Pinata" is on par with the best of what we've seen. I told him it scared the crap outta me and that he'll love it. He got all excited and put it on his Netflix que, he can't wait to see it. What a sucker. He lives a few states away, so I expect that in a couple of weeks he's going to call and cuss me out over the phone.

Good times.

Anyway, "Pinata: Survival Island" released in 2002, also under the name "Demon Island". I read in an online review that Jaime Pressly took the role because she read the script and actually believed that it was a comedy. She was wrong, although it is funnier than alot of comedies I've seen.

Check it.

Good laughs.

-Jon

I'm gonna have to go with "Nine Lives", starring Paris Hilton. The movie actually goes down hill AFTER Paris gets killed. My wife and I haven't laughed so hard at a movie since "Wet Hot American Summer". By the way, I'm not calling WHAS a bad movie, just so we're clear.

Staying on the "Paris Hilton" theme

"HOUSE OF WAX"

SLEEPAWAY CAMP!!

(and its sequels are even worse!)

but on the upside, it's the funniest movie of the 80's.

Saw II - I guess that falls in line with all sequels. I left the movie after falling asleep twice.

A lot of good choices in this thread but I would have to go with:

The Howling: Bad Moon Rising

It falls in the sequel category but it has to be the worst of all time.

If you like

Endless country line dancing scenes (put in the movie for no reason)
Horrible acting
Sound effects that don't match what is happening on screen
and REALLY cheesy special effects

you will love this movie.

Somebody already posted C.H.U.D., but I have to admit that its one of my personal favorites. Yes, its low budget and cheesy, but I thought it was a good idea. Now, C.H.U.D. 2 was a total 180. That is by far the WORST of the worst, but it has some others not very far behind. My WORST Horror Movie list also includes:

-Any Hellraiser movie AFTER part 2, but not including part 2.
-Return of the Living Dead 3, 4, and so on...
-Dead Alive!
-Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse
-Dagon (H.P. Lovecraft would be mortified if he saw what his work had spawned...)

The Fog (remake)

Flipping thru the channels this weekend..."Ghoulies 2"

This definitley needs to be added to this list!

I watched this movie earlier this week. I then went to Amazon.com and wrote the following review, entitled..."This thing sucked so bad !"

-------------------
Oh, What a lousy film ! It had potential for a very creepy and moody 19th century supernatural thriller, but instead it was hashed out as an embarrassing and laughable attempt at something that almost qualifies as a weekend filler on the Lifetime Network or ABC Family. Most historical accounts of the Bell Witch are admittedly based on arguably validated fabrications that attempt to outdo themselves with each successive evolution, and some accounts (true or not) are quite scary. This movie doesn't really follow any of them, and instead capitalizes on a known legend and dresses it up with levitations, ghost wolves, and creaky floorboards. They couldn't even use the clichés properly. (The levitation and slapping scenes made me laugh)

As a positive, some of the wolf scenes are well done (such as being chased in the forest) despite the fact that it does nothing for the story. Also, the stagecoach flipping was an exceptionally executed stunt.

However, there are a few shots of the wolf (prancing under the window or trying to evade the flipping stagecoach through the fog) on which the obvious CG work was so poor that I found it a distraction.

Finally, the acting was so subpar that it seems a waste to have used such high powered talent...unless they were being blackmailed or being paid scale, I can't make sense of that one.

Avoid this movie. It is not scary.

It sucks.

----------------

So there it is.

-Jon

Ghost Lake. If I were a special effects guy I would cry while watching it.

Although An American Haunting is a very close second. I only got about half a hour into that one before I had to say "no more."

Anything with the Teletubbies in it.

Dracula 3000

This ends the debate. If you ever manage to have the misfortune of seeing this, I'm sure you'll agree that it is without a doubt the worst horror movie ever made. Especially in regards to the "ending". :-P

Anything with the Teletubbies in it.

What are you talking about?! The Teletubbies are horrifying!

What a horrible movie.

The friends that invited us to go see it were apologizing afterworlds. We had to go home and watch Dawn of The Dead and Shaun of The Dead just to get the horrible movie taste from our mouths.

The Idea was good, the original was decent, but this sequel was crap. 2/3 of the way through the movie they decided that the "infected" were actually zombies now ... just to get a "cool" shot! From the first scene in the movie, I already knew the ending - extremely predictable. There wasn't anything frightening about it, I didn't jump because so much time was spent to build up the moments that it was simple to see where it was going.

On the good side...there was nothing wrong with the acting.

Sally Fields crying in extreme close up ... I was in therapy for years

Howling 2: Your Sister is A Werewolf

Howling 2: Your Sister is A Werewolf

Amen...that thing stunk on ice.

-Jon

In no particular order

The St Francesville Experiment
Blair Witch 2 : Book of Shadows
An American Haunting (Did anyone notice the "Unexplained Mysteries" style shots from the ghosts point of view? Terrible!)
The Descent
The Cave
Ring 2
The Grudge
Skeleton Key
The Last Broadcast
Mimic
The Reaping
Darcula 2000 (or 3000, cant remember but it was sh*te)
Ghosts of Mars (WTF!?)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Hills have eyes (remake)
House of wax
Jeepers creepers (both of 'em)

I really could go on but I'm getting depressed listing these things. Horror films worth watching are few and far between these days.

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon.

Just trust me.
