Another Corman classic which kind of fits here, would make a good companion film of sorts with Wild in the Streets too...

Why "but"?  Shouldn't that say "because"?   Smile

A couple very obvious picks would be Eraserhead and Naked Lunch. Sorry I couldn't think of any more obscure ones at the moment.

Both are quite bizarre. I don't know that I would classify them as bad movies though, except in the purely subjective sense. I think both of the films are decidedly good.

Dwain Esper's MANIAC (1934) is still my favorite weird bad movie.

TCM recently ran something called POSSESSION (1981) that was absolutely INSANE. It starred Sam Neill as a guy who's wife was (or maybe wasn't?) having an affair (or something?) with a crazed German. She is so traumatized she sneaks away to a dilapidated apartment and finds (?) or gives birth to (?) a tentacled monster that lays around sighing. She has sex with the thing and she kills everybody who comes to the apartment, with everybody screaming and the top of their lungs and blood flying everywhere.  As a matter of fact all the characters are constantly screaming at each other at the top of their lungs and/or beating the crap out of each other, so the cast walks around in a bloody mess for most of the time.

This one apparently won a bunch of awards at Cannes, including 'Best Actress' for the screaming lady. I'm guessing lots and lots of cocaine was consumed before the vote.

The "screaming lady" was Isabelle Adjani.  She was nominated for 2 Academy Awards (not for POSSESSION) and won 5 Cesars in her career.  When she won Best Actress at Cannes she was actually in 2 movies that screened there, so she didn't win for POSSESSION alone. 

Personally I remember not linking POSSESSION but I really need to see it again.

She reminds me of a 'prettier' version of Sandy Dennis, another great actress who could scream bloody murder when the need arose.

THE SHOUT
I saw this on TCM about a year ago, and I didn't get it.
It's well made, but I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Hugo Pool. It's from the 90's and stars Alyssa Milano and Robert Downey Jr. It's considered a good movie because it won all of these independent film awards. It's weird and surreal and very serious, but I just find the whole thing uncomfortably funny.

ALUCARDA (1975)-No-it's not about vampires...it's about satanic possession. And Lesbians. And nuns dressed like mummies in bloody rags. And blood filled coffins. And decapitations. And just a lot of weird imagry. And screaming...lotsa lotsa screaming.

I re-watched it with my 17 year old son and my brother recently-neither had seen it before. My son's comment-"This is too weird. It makes me feel like a perv."  BounceGiggle



PSYCHED BY THE 4-D WITCH (1972)

Rubber monster masks,booga-bogga plastic dime store vampire teeth,satanism,, goofy psychadelic effects,and absolutly NO plot or storyline that any sane person could follow.

I like the rubber Vampira mask,though...



Looks like they got they're props from the mail order section of Famous Monsters mag...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
