I love it when movies (usually low-budget films or re-titled foreign imports) have really bizarre titles. Here are 5 that come to mind. Let's try to compile a huge list.
* The Saga of the Viking Women and their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent
* The Horrible, Sexy Vampire (aka El Vampiro de la Autopista)
* If You Don't Stop It . . . You'll Go Blind!!!
* Can I Do It 'Till I Need Glasses?
* The Eerie Midnight Horror Show (aka The Tormented, The Sexorcist, and several other titles)
Here's a good one:
Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Terror
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230575/
Or how 'bout this one:
Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475343/

There are movie titles that just don't seem to make any sense at all:
2 + 5: MISSION HYDRA (1965) (http://www.scifilm.org/musings3/musing1613.html)
A DOG, A MOUSE AND A SPUTNIK (1958) (http://www.scifilm.org/musings2/musing934.html)
and movies titles that end with a question:
WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT FEELING GOOD? (1968) (http://www.scifilm.org/musings3/musing1007.html)
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? (1945) (http://www.scifilm.org/musings2/musing719.html)

Sometimes how silly the title is is what makes me want to see it. Like "DONT WORRY. WE'LL THINK OF A TITLE".
That sounds BRILLIANT! However, this iz not always the case. like "SSSSSSS". lame lame lame lame. That movie blew more than .......... I dunno. It just blew.

Ok, out of all of those, I'm suprised you didn't mention "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death."
One thing that I do appreciate about many bad movie titles is that you know what's coming, such as "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter" or "Satan's Cheerleaders." When you get a movie like "Troll 2", however...
"BLOODY..." this or BLOOD" that...
HORROR of the BLOOD MONSTERS
BRAIN of BLOOD
BLOOD of GHASTLY HORROR (huh?)
FRANKENSTIEN's BLOODY TERROR....(which had zero to do with Frankenstien...it was the US title for a Spainish Werewolf movie!)
NIGHT of the BLOODY APES
BLOOD of DRACULAS CASTLE
TASTE the BLOOD of DRACULA
I DRINK YOUR BLOOD
or just plan goofy...
MONSTER A GO GO
I WAS a HIPPY VAMPIRE
PSYCHED by the 4D WITCH
SPIDER BABY(aka CANNIBAL ORGY)
or just coool and scaaary...
the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
I EAT YOUR SKIN
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE
I DISMEMBER MAMA
the CORPSE GRINDERS
the HOUSE that DRIPPED BLOOD
FLESH EATING MOTHERS
SATAN's SADISTS
BLOOD SUCKING FREAKS
Intersting that you should mention "Monster a Go Go." The film group at my school is filming a zombie movie for their final project, and their calling it "Zombie a Go Go." I get to be an extra.
Useless trivia time...Al Adamson's first film was called PSYCHO a GO GO...which was re edited,new parts added and rereleased as the convulated BLOOD of GHASTLY HORROR!!! (Al had a way with crazy titles,to catch the eye,and usually nothing to do with the content of the movie itself...)

Chopper Chicks in Zombietown
The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade
I love Treasure of the Living Dead, (aka Oasis of the Zombies, according to IMDb).

Destroy all Monsters!

It Conquered the World
The Amazing Colossal Man
Mars Needs Women!
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Color Me Blood Red (but only because of the trailer "Color. Me. Blood. Red...")\

No worries; I have been a geek all my life and don't find it to be too horrific. Of course, the only place I have spotty hair is on top of my head; otherwise, I look like a werewolf stuck in the middle of a transition from man to wolf (I'm just a wee bit furry). I also know about the loping around the countryside in the absence of women (naked or otherwise): In my single days, I racked up friend speeches like a NASCAR driver racks up miles. I personally hold the record for the shortest friend speech (a woman walked by me and just said, "Hi, Buddy!") and the shortest period of time before getting the friend speech (when I was asking her out).
And now, just so I'll quit hijacking this thread, here's some more great movie titles:
The Fearless Vampire Killers or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck
The Wild World of Batwoman
Atom Age Vampire
The Playgirls and the Vampire
Kung Fu Vampire Buster
I Was a Communist for the FBI
I only know of it by title, but that is a title that gets your attention.
ok...I did not make these up...I found them in listed in Witching Hour Video,which BAD MOVIES supplies a link for!
CRAZY LESBIAN WOODCHOPPER ( Not only is she a crazy lesbian...she's a woodchooper-"and that's ok!"
PIG CHICKEN SUICIDE (?)-I wonder if they just don't put random words in a hat,and draw 3....next film-Horse Fly Murder?

"BARN OF THE BLOOD LLAMA!"
