Bottom of the barrel

[onionhead]

I know Plan Nine is touted as the worst film of all time, but let's be honest, it's a fun flick, laughable in its awfulness.   Acting stinks, sets cheap, editing atrocious, but these all add to its overall charm.  
What I wanna know is what is the WORST horror movie you have ever seen, sat through to the very end and wished you never had, the one you wish you could burn all copies of, made you gargle with kerosene afterward.  In other words, the Bottom of the Barrel.

"Breeders".
Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ, what an AWFUL film!  I saw it back in the late 80's when I was an undiscriminating video viewer with very little taste, and even then I considered it to be abysmal.
Did I say how bad it was?  Ugh!

A Night To Dismember.

I can not stress enough that all lovers of B-Horror movies should seek this out on DVD...HILARIOUS (possibly the funniest ever) commentary from the director and her director of photography.   It's from the 1980s...I can't even describe what it's about.  The director lost a good percentage of her film due to a vindictive photolab worker and tried to create a movie out of what was left.  It's so so so awfully bad that it's indescribable.

Night of Horror. I watched this right after watching a documentary about the Sex Pistols, and my reactions to this film were identical to how Sid Vicious described heroin withdrawals.

[Neville]

My personal pick is "Adrenalin: Fear the rush" (and no, the typo in the title is not mine). It is an Albert Pyun Film (!) starring Natsha Henstridge and Christopher Lambert. I'll only add that it only lasts 75' but I whished it was even shorter. Oh, and the plot makes no sense at all, but I imagine you already expected that from Albert Pyun.

Revenge of the Dead, also known as Zeder.

[The Burgomaster]

I have said this before and I will say it again: the worst movie, of any kind, of all time, that I have ever seen in my whole miserable life is (drum roll please) . . .

THE CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN

It is on a double feature DVD from Something Weird Video. The other movie on the DVD is CARNIVAL OF BLOOD, which is also quite bad . . . but Burt Young from the Rocky movies is in it  (using a different name in the credits). He plays a carnival worker named Gimpy.

Anyway, CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN is so cheap, boring and miserable that you will not believe your eyes. The dialogue STINKS, the acting STINKS (it looks like the director gathered a bunch of his friends together on a Saturday and they shot the whole thing in a day) . . . everything is completely fake . . . there are some shootouts that are completely ridiculous. They look about as realistic as a bunch of kids playing cowboy and shooting each other with their fingers.

This movie is TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. I encourage each and every one of you to watch it. You cannot possibly understand how painful this movie is (in EVERY WAY) unless you see it for yourself. My guess is that you will watch it for MAYBE 15 minutes and then turn it off. (I suffered through the whole thing).

I may even have to watch it again this weekend to remind myself of how GOD AWFUL this movie is.

AAAAAHHHH!!!!  AAAAAHHHH!!!!   AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

(it looks like the director gathered a bunch of his friends together on a Saturday and they shot the whole thing in a day) .

speaking of which, I was going to offer "Forever Evil" as a nomination :)

The Dead Hate the Living was more mediocre bad, but I agree, it sucked.  

I don't advise anyone to watch Revenge of the Dead unless they're suffering from insomnia.

[Dolph Lundgren]

Carnivore.  Definitely Carnivore, without a doubt.  Especially after I found out that it took them something like ten years to release it.  The only redeeming factor of the movie was mullets, and the look on my friend's face after he watched the whole thing, having purchased it from Walmart for $5.88.  That almost made it worth it right there.  Then I went into convulsions after thinking about how bad the movie was.

Well, since we seem to be talking about Horror Films  that were UN-enjoyably bad, as opposed to the Bad Ones we LOVE to sit through, I would have to say Andy Milligan's movie BLOOD, in which the son of the wolfman and the daughter of Dracula settle down together to cultivate man-eating plants in their basement. It sounds like a schlock classic, but in reality it's arduous to sit through and you have to be a REAL movie masochist just to make it to the end.

I'd say the ONE movie that has made me want to turn it off before it was over was "I Eat Your Skin" I mean after about 15 minutes I just shut off that tape and returned right by to "HollyWood Video" and I ran home laughing out of joy.

Hahaha....I have this double feature DVD as well.  I love watching "Carnival of Blood" because there's so much intentional hilarity going on (the touching scene at the bad guy's apartment with him and Gimpy, the fat lady cutting in line at the concession stand, ect).  There's nothing fun about 'Curse of the Headless Horseman' though....It was a challenge to sit through it once.  I honestly don't know if I could do it again.  It comes off like an episode of 'Scooby Doo'.

Return of the Living Dead Part 2 runs a close second.
