May 8 12 3:16 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Many thanks for posting GET THAT GIRL. Richard Talmadge was one of those actors who's careers basically ended with the advent of sound and this movie shows why, as his high pitched voice and monotonous inflection don't project athletic heroism. I particularily howled at the fight sequences where he'd sooner leap or roll over objects than just go around them. Again, thanks for posting this haraldq.

What do you like about MONSTER A GO-GO? One of my favorite plots is the astronaut going to space and coming back a monster. It also helps that I saw this as a kid and enjoyed it. Sure it's slow but I think it has some great atmosphere.

May 8 12 4:33 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think a lot of the movies listed at least have redeeming moments. The main criterion for getting onto my 'worst 10' list is being stultefying from beginning to end, without a single moment of horror, or humor, or anything good along the way. I've seen a lot of obscure movies over the years, but this is the stuff I really wouldn't recommend to anyone. Not even to people I hate. In no particular order: LIFE RETURNS (1934) a dog is a dog is a... dead dog. NIGHT OF HORROR (1978) loads of footage of people's backs and 'horror' that's too darkly shot to see. VAMPIRES ON BIKINI BEACH (1988) despite the vaguely promising title, the worst vampire flick I've seen which features vampires. LE VAMPIRE DE LA CINÉMATHÈQUE (1971 Belgium) the worst vampire flick I've seen which features no vampires at all. The most stultefying 23 minutes in time, all edited together into one soundtrack-free movie for your convenience. THE BLACK WITCH PROJECT (2001) the title is warning enough that it's not gonna be good, but I actually felt brain cells dying as I watched this. WAR OF THE DEAD (2006 Canada) worst Nazi zombie flick ever. And there's plenty of competition for that title. THE DARK AREA (2000 Germany) drab non-acting teenagers mumble their way around some woods for 80 minutes. AFTER THE MASKED BALL (1909 Germany) turned up on a reel of old movies at a Berlin archive and was so unexpectedly repellent that I literally couldn't sleep for two days after seeing it; so it holds a special place in my disaffections. Two freaks chloroform a woman and undertake gynecological investigations of her lifeless body; pseudo-necrophilia horror porn, pre-1910s style. LA CAGE AUX ZOMBIES (1995) even the best scenes look like outtakes scraped off the editing room floor. QUEST FOR THE EGG SALAD (2002) more like tripe than egg salad, although some people rather disturbingly suggest that it's the director's best movie.

May 8 12 4:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Oh, Doc, you're killin' me. I've only seen two of those, and-- you know me -- now I gotta see the rest. I do have NIGHT OF HORROR around here, but have just never gotten around to watching it. I know LIFE RETURNS would be on my list, and almost certainly FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND, but, other than that, I can't say just yet. Even TORTURE DUNGEON, which for the last 40 years I've loudly proclaimed as the worst movie ever, is really so darn funny that...I no longer know what to do. If stultifying boredom is enough to cancel out some modest cinematic competence (and I think it is), I'd have to add THE BUBBLE (THE FANTASTIC INVASION OF PLANET EARTH), which, at 94 minutes, was the longest month of my life.

May 8 12 4:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	In no particular order as they all rank so low that it's too difficult to separate them. THE CRAWLING TERROR HANDS OF DEATH DR. TERROR'S GALLERY OF HORRORS HOUSE OF THE BLACK DEATH BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS KING DINOSAUR THE BEAST IN THE CELLAR MACUMBA LOVE MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN

May 8 12 5:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Fine...here's my list, fellas: BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS(Flag on the moon...how DID it get there???) KING DINOSAUR(HILARIOUS trailer...otherwise, the pits) LIFE RETURNS(If only life returned to those who sat through this) MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE(So inept...but hilarious. Torgo was a hoot!) THE CREEPING TERROR(Rug monsters are TERRIFYING!) VAMPIRE HOOKERS(I was expecting a good time, but...) FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND(Got this on tape when I was six. I was fooled by the Karloff-Monster cover. The devil's work, clearly) VAN HELSING(No plot and no characters. For those that thought THE MUMMY(1999) was bad...) ALONE IN THE DARK(Uwe Bowell should have scored a few of his bombs on the list, this one being a top choice.) THE HORRIBLE SEXY VAMPIRE(Horrible is the word for it) There's way more to name and this list could change at a whim. Plus, all those digital abortions i've viewed, could certainly be nominated. STAY AWAY FROM CHILLER TV! I feel like downloading GET THAT GIRL and reviewing it on my blog :P

May 8 12 8:09 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just watched LIFE RETURNS for the first time. And the last time. That's really something. You'd think at the least they'd try to get a dog that looks like the one that gets operated on. And the performance of Onslow Stevens, and that kid! Yeah, that's pretty awful.

May 9 12 6:18 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Good picks ghoulkid! I forgot all about ORGY OF THE DEAD and I've wanted to see FLESH FEAST for awhile so I'll have to track it down. The scenes between The Mummy and The Wolfman in OOTD are some of the absolute worst I've ever seen.

May 9 12 8:13 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	OOTD would of been number one had Frankenstein Island and Manos not been completely terrible as they are. I watched it cause Ed Wood had written the screenplay,but in all honesty,he should of directed it too. It might have been better. Flesh Feast was Veronica Lakes last movie. She also co produced. Boring,and the ending is complete nonsense. The problem with this list is that I've seen a lot of bad movies that I've only seen once and pretty much forgotten about afterwards. The way some of the guys have been talking about some of these movies makes me have to see them. Life Returns sounds like one of those monumental moments of bad movie viewing that I can't pass up. I'm a masochist I guess.

May 9 12 10:17 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks (as Rick said, "I think...") for GET THAT GIRL, harald. Wow. That actually made me feel bad for the filmmakers - what a textbook example of the proof that just thinking "let's just port over all the schtick we did in the Silents and add sound!" was no way to make a Talkie! And Frankensteinhead, maybe PART of the voice problem was an intentional bad choice? Talmadge here seems to think he can be 40, yet pull off playing a peppy 20 (it didn't work for Charlie Chase, either.) >FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND(Got this on tape when I was six. I was fooled by the Karloff-Monster cover. The devil's work, clearly)< OH, yeah, jamesensetein. Let me put it this way: I think we did about as well at a monster mashup when I was a kid. In Silent 8mm. Shot in a trailer court.

In Silent 8mm. Shot in a trailer court. Some things never change! Like bad movies! Here's a few more to think about: MURDER BY TELEVISION(Two Lugosis and still the movie is twice as boring!) REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES(Sounds cool, even has a an interesting plot. Only works as a potent sedative) RESIDENT EVIL(No plot. No characters. Awful script and action. Stay away) WING COMMANDER(Anyone even remember this? Man, this was bad.) TROLL 2(How could I forget!??? And I thought the first one was bad...) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET(2010 remake of the 80s classic with terrible acting and non-scares, and a truly abysmal plot) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2(Worst of the NIGHTMARE sequels with exploding hot dogs and a gay subplot that makes no sense) BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE(Title intrigues as a kid, and than you see it as an adult. Run away! Stay clear! This one stinks!) ZOMBIE STRIPPERS(So bad on so many levels. Wasn't even as dumb fun as I thought it might be, even with Robert Englund along!) THE MANGLER(The title suggests something terrifying! How about a killer washing machine with his accomplice, an ice box?)

May 9 12 1:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well,I just watched LIFE RETURNS. Not as bad I expected it to be,but pretty bad. Maybe it's just me,but it looked like one long episode of The Little Rascals. It didn't help that I noticed a few LR alumni in it,Margaret Mann and Leonard Kibrick. Half of my attention was spent looking for others. I loved the look on the kid's face during the operation. I kept expecting him to start screaming "It's alive!!! It's alive!"

May 9 12 10:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'd swear I've written something like this before . . . maybe on another site. Anyway, I don't go out of my way to look for bad movies. They just popped up on TV and in theaters over the years, and I just sort of sat there and watched them. Nowadays, with so many DVDs to watch, I won't waste time on something that looks really dubious. Thus, this is not a definitive list in any way. There are films that are cheap in every aspect, even decried by many people here, that I like (like BEAST WITH 1,000,000 EYES, and, with enough nostalgic thought, CURSE OF BIGFOOT), so I don't hate a film due to production values. However, some cheapies certainly get on the list! 1) THE CREEPING TERROR -- numero uno in my book. Yet it holds a strange fascination that makes me watch it whenever it shows up on TV, like the hypnotic gaze of a serpent . . . 2) ROBOT MONSTER and 3) PLAN NINE -- the old favorites. PLAN NINE only gets #3 because it's actually kind of amusing. 4) THE DAY IT CAME TO EARTH -- 1977 or thereabouts. The ads claimed it was from the same producers or writers or something as LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK and TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN -- both cheap, but likeable. Not this. 5) THE END OF THE WORLD -- I know I've written about this on the CHFB. Poor Christopher Lee! 6) CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE -- back in kidhood, I had no conception of quality. Roger Corman looked as good as CITIZEN KANE to my eyes. Except for CURSE. Even at age seven, I thought, "Holy S&%#, this sux!" 7) GODZILLA VS. MEGALON -- Just to show I don't like everything in the "Japanese Giants" folder KONG ISLAND -- saw this recently on that "50 Sci-Fi Classics" collection. "We have a new contender," I told myself. 9) ALIEN 3 -- even if it wasn't a poorly filmed, muddled mess, it %$#&ed up the storyline from ALIENS enough for me to stick it here. 10) BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS -- my film-expert chum came over one Saturday with this, claiming it was the worst chunk of film ever made. I didn't agree with the worst, but it's close . . . Runners Up: DAMNATION ALLEY -- I can't put it on the top ten because it mercifully vanished from my mind for 30 years. Now I only remember the really bad matted in "giant scorpions". It didn't help that DAMNATION ALLEY was one of the few SF novels I'd actually read at the time. Absolutely no relationship between book and film I could see. INVASION FROM INNER EARTH -- I think is the name of the film I caught on early cable TV. Missed the first few minutes (and the title). At least, one character explains that flying saucers from within the hollow earth are attacking us. The subterranneans' attack consists of those Fourth-of-July smoke bombs spewing colored smoke at fleeing extras -- you can see the little round balls, their green fuses, that little dab of tar that holds the fuses in place . . .

There's a standout moment (of sorts) in that one, when the Sheriff declares: "That's the pard hart to understand." And evidently no-one thought the scene required a second take.

This is one of those instances where I really don't know if I've ever seen the entire movie. I tried for three nights in a row to get to the end of it, but it put me to sleep every time; in the end, I just kinda moved onto watching something else because I felt like I'd watched THE BUBBLE by that point. And yet I can apparently stay wide awake through each and every delicious sound bite of BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS and ORGY OF THE DEAD and would never consider putting either movie on my 'worst 100' list, let alone my 'worst 10' list,... so go figure...!
