Funniest Horror Movies

Because I just love to make lists myself and I love funny horror movies, I couldn't resist Cinematical's Funniest Horror Movies of all time. A few personal favorites, Sean of the Dead, Army of Darkness and Black Sheep(well, sort of) made the list.
Reminds me of so many other great bad movies that I need to rent. Enjoy!

Perfecting my own race of atomic supermen

What can i say that hasn't already been said about the "brilliance" of Ed Wood films. Besides an assortment of Bela Lugosi and Criswell clips (most of which made no sense at all) we enjoyed ourselves some Bride of the Monster, one of Ed Wood's masterpieces perhaps forever immortalized by Tim Burton's own work of genius, "Ed Wood". But it's hard to top Bela Lugosi playing a mad scientist attempting to harness atomic energy to create his own race of atomic beings in order to rule the world. Of course, this never transpires and we merely witness lots of bad sets, poor acting and lurking about by his large bald henchman Lobo, played by Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson. That's Ed Wood for you. And it wouldn't be complete without stock footage of an underwater octopus matched up (with no attention paid to continuity whatsoever) to shots of the actors writhing about in a foot-deep pool of water with an obviously fake rubber octopus prop.


Best of all, it ends with a bold of lightning and a "Big Explosion!"

A little Plan 9 remix action

Ed Wood's classic, "Plan 9 From Outer Space", as remixed with Deltron 3030.
Think of it as a hint of things to come.

capital-F Fun!

Equinox

Probably an early influence on Sam Raimi (Evil Dead), Equinox is a fun horror film made first as a student project and then reworked for wider release. Features the special effects of a young Dennis Muren, who went on to create effects for the Star Wars trilogy. While this film won't win any awards or much acclaim, it is certainly fun to watch if you're a fan of Sam Raimi, Ray Harryhausen animation or Lovecraft stories.

Check out the Criterion Collection release and compare both versions. Enjoy!

Kronos = Total Destruction

You'll have to be shock-proof to withstand the emotional assault of this "robot vampire". I just love 1950s movie trailers. mostly cold-war era paranoia turned Hollywood monster/terror from space/radioactive mutant. But Kronos? I have no idea what's going on here. looks like a giant box hovering around zapping things with lightning. Seriously, they just don't make 'em like they used to. I could watch these old trailers all day.

It's The Great Pumpkin [dubbed]

Redub of the Peanuts classic. Enjoy!
