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.

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.

That was funny. Thanks for the reminder

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

2.9 on IMDB!

Came here to mention Trolls 2 as well. This film has great standing in my family.

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.

[–] Xbeam@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Especially the lawn mower scene. One of the greatest cheesy horror films ever.

Thankskilling. A turkey goes on a murdering spree. Nuff said. "goggle gobble motherfucker"

You can find it for free everywhere.

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.

Willy's Wonderland VelociPastor Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (though this one is actually good)

Seconded "Tucker and Dale versus evil"! This movie made me drop from the sofa laughing, one of the best comedic horror flicks I've ever seen!

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Velocipastor is amazing.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Each and every Final Destination movie.

Everyone dies stupidly and horribly, just sit back and wait.

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 Stuff

Saturday the 14th

Terrorvision

Sssssss (note: not Ssssss, fuck that cheap knockoff)

Lawnmower Man (read the book first, then watch the movie, then go WTF did I just watch)

Nothing but Trouble (although this is more of a comedy. It is very clearly poking fun at Centralia and Pennsylvania)

Look Who's Talking Now

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Upvoted for The Stuff. More people need to know about it

[–] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Re-Animator.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You might like Drag Me To Hell which was also billed as a horror but was definitely a send-up.

And Happy Deathday which is a comedy-horror Groundhog Day with a little heart thrown in for good vibes.

Boar (2017). It’s so bad, it’s good.

[–] baruchin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 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)

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The podcast How Did This Get Made just did an episode on the movie Bats. It sounded so good from the first five to ten minutes of the pod that I stopped listening so it wouldn't get spoiled.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Death Tunnel was so bad it was good.
