Default Old Horror Movies - So Bad They are Good

On a whim I picked up a $5 DVD set from the bargain bin called "12 Creature Features". My daughter and I are laughing our way though a few of them. "Land of the Minotaur", The Creeping Terror", "Horror High" and more. A plethora of C and D movies. Some fine fine movies!

Post up your favorite titles.

I had exactly the same reaction to that one. I don't know why but that one gave me nightmares. I can't think of another one that scared me so much. I think because it's slimy and nasty looking.
As for the 'so bad it's good' category...Of course, the grandaddy of all bad movies..."Plan 9 from Outer Space". Absolutely hilarious.

I think we saw The Blob at the drive-in in Florida when I was about 5-6. It was relentless. How about lighting some of those green spiral mosquito repellent things for old time sake...and driving off with the window speaker still on the car.

I remember The Creature From the Black Lagoon stuck with us for decades.
ETA: And who could forget The Fly?

The 1960 movie The Time Machine scared the crap out of me when I was little. Mainly the underground zombies and the sirens.

I have been watching svengoolie lately he in the Syracuse NY area and the only thing about the chicken hater is the fun facts he tells about the movies and actors.
after all these years I didn't realize that in the Bride of Frankystien the lady in the beginning of the movie was also the charactor the bride.

Use to stay up late for the Goulardy show. Always a crappy movie but you didn't watch the show for the movie.

I remember seeing The Blob at our neighbor hood theater. Don't have those anymore.
.75 covered the price of admission, double feature and snacks. Anyhow of all the horror movies The Blob is the one I remember best after all these years. Had trouble sleeping for a few nights after watching it.

Artic movie featuring an attack plant. Of course it attacks the generator so it is intelligent.

Top shelf: 3 Stooges in the haunted mansion.
