Me and my friend, Chris, have a bi-monthly MST style bad movie viewing, and was wondering if there where any you could recomend?
What we've seen all ready:
The Creature Walks Among Us
Leprechaun 3
Zombie 4: After Death
INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS. I just saw it and it was hilariously bad.
The Uninvited, reviewed here. Great great bad bad film. I've always had a feeling that the makers knew it would be bad, and were playing it for laughs. But then I go watch it again and realise it really is just so bad its funny.

Terror in the Haunted House: filmed in mind altering PSYCHORAMA. Plenty of opportunities to slip in jokes and snide comments, in fact that's the only way to enjoy this pooper. Hell, you can even have my copy...it's currently clogging my plumbing.
Rock and Roll Nightmare (also reviewed here) is a really great, bad movie (can i use those 2 adjectives right after one another?). It may be hard to find, but well worth it. John Waters older movies are pretty good too (but you will see nudity, both male and female--so if you can't handle seeing penis in a movie skip his flicks). I swear it's not porn! I just realized that last line really made it sound like porn, but it's not, it's cheesey 70's fun.
Deena
Any movie with John Saxon or Cameron Mitchell.
"I Come in Peace" is pretty crappy, too.
A Night to Dismember....Freakin hilarious bad movie.
Don't go dissin' I COME IN PEACE!
D'EMS FIGHTIN' WORDS!!!!
May be hard to find, but each of these is screeeeeeeeeeeamingly awful in its own way...
"Viva Knievel!" not only features Marjoe Gortner ("Food of the Gods," "Earthquake") and Leslie Nielsen ("The Naked Gun," "Day of the Animals," "Mr. Magoo") as the key villians, it stars Evel Knievel as Evel Knievel handing out Evel Knievel action figures to crippled orphans. This causes one of them to pitch his crutches away and walk--and that's just for starters. The only movie I've seen in which the star's ego can actually provoke projectile vomiting. Haunting theme song (and I don't mean that in a good way).
The "Godmonster of Indian Flats" is a giant mutant sheep-thing. Maybe not as big as the original Yongary, but they both like to git down and boogie. Features a sheep rancher who literally sleeps with his livestock. It's supposed to be sweet, how he curls up with a little lamb like a teddy bear--but it's just sick. By the way: I'm only scratching the surface of these crudpucks. This is literally nothing, compared to the movies as a whole.
"The Children" is reviewed here at BMO. The "nuclear radiation turns humans into monsters" is such a dusty old cliche at this point, the movie introduces it and throws it away in seconds. Zombie kids who can only be killed by hacking off their hands? It's stupid AND lurid in equal doses. In spite of one or two effectively creepy scenes, generally it makes "Mutant" look like "Saving Private Ryan." CAN YOU GUESS THE SHOCKING ENDING? Of course you can.
I've done "19 roll yer own" MST's so far. The latest is "The pit and the Pendulum", with Vinnie Price. Good flick, but still open to riffing. One of the one thats fun to watch riffed or unriffed. Like "Gorgo".
Now, if you do..."Octopus"....don't riff it....Kill it, Kill it i say! Shove it's tenticles right up it's....(ahem)...ahhhh....i'm sorry....sorry, but some things leave scars that don't heal well. Kill it before it breeds agine! "Octopus 2." Rip it good!
(Ahumm)...there . Thats better.
A*P*E*
The Giant Claw.
The Green Slime.
The Snow Creature.
Heck, any flick that MST never got around to, yet wish they had.
The Killer Shrews....or as I like to call it, "Roscoe P. Coltrane Versus The Collies!"
Bonehead XL, you are a bonehead if you stop with LEPRECHAUN 3!
LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE is a total laugh riot. My favorite character is probably the cyborg soldier that my wife and I have nicknamed "Puttyhead" (once you see the film, you'll understand why), though I also have fond feelings for Dr. Mittenhand, a.k.a. Dr. MittenSPIDER (you must always emphasize the send part of his last name; again, once you see the film, you'll understand why).
Oh, and what other film contains footage of an evil Warwick Davis wielding a lightsaber?
Should I be offended by that?
I had planed on doing LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE if I could find it. But it looks great.
So far I have alot of films lined up, but if I can find it, will riff it.
Squishy mentions Marjoe Gortner. "Food of the Gods" is great Gort, with a giant rubber/fiberglass(?) chickenhead attacking Marjoe in a barn.
"Godmonster of Indian Flats" sounds wonderful!
Just saw "Python". So very very . . . special. Get a remote with a good rewind button, 'cause you'll be working it out to revel in all the mistakes in this one!!
peter j.
But, oh God, what ever ya do, do NOT watch PYTHONS 2. Remember how i felt about OCTOPUS? Octopus? He said Octopus...so slooooly i turned...I will not be responsable for your brain damage if you ignore me, young being!
It: The terror from beyond space.
Night of the Lepus (If ya can FIND it anywhere!)
Leprechaun 4: In space.( Saw it with the "Assistance" of The Ghoul, Clevelands main manic. When Dr. Mittenhann came on, they played the "Mr Clean" Jingle. Good, messy insanity.)
Attack of the Crab Monsters. (I useualy leave off "Monsters" when i think of this one. Just sounds...oh, i donno...more on target that way).
