There are certain types of horror movies I like to watch on a day off when I am just relaxing and I don't want to think about anything. Generally these are bad movies, but it's just just that--they have to have a certain mildly amusing idiot quality, as though they were made by idiots, or just dull or unimaginative people.

This type of film, I can sit and watch and almost fall asleep to because it has such an unengaging quality.

Oasis of the Zombies is one example. Others are:

The Day It Came To Earth
The Slime People
The Werewolf vs. Vampire Woman
The Green Slime
Brides of Blood
Playgirl Killer
The Vampire Happening
Horror of the Zombies

And then of course there is this one--it's been a big favorite of mine for several years now...THE MONSTERS CRASH THE PAJAMA PARTY

this is about as awesome as it can get and i am always recommending it to people.

I have always been good at finding monster goodies! And this one, I tell ya, go grab it. You can get it used all over the place for six dollars.

If you relate to the cover art--if the illustration "speaks" to you--then you'll enjoy the disc. I paid 20 for mine and I still watch it all the time.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea springs to mind and The Land That Time Forgot.Both great popcorn monster movies.

Ohhhh, I can't put Neon Maniacs on the list because I can never fall asleep watching that. It's too stimulating!

To be on my version of the list, the film has to be sleepy-headed.

anyways.

Shriek Of the Mutilated fits into thsi categorie of extremely bad and boring.

Oh yes, well, I love 'em of course, all of 'em, but this is a special type of bad movie--not necessarily the type of thing that makes me laugh hysterically, more on the relaxing side. It might be something that is trying to be scary but just isn't. This is a vague category though so whatever you think fits, fits!

^^not a monster movie...but it does have flying power tools!
slow moving and relaxing. depressing atmosphere. almost turns into a Requiem For A Dream type movie when the shit starts shitting the fan. but for some reason itsa nice and stimulating.

Perhaps the title of this thread shoud be "Favorite Idiot Sleeptime Monster Movies".

I like to be lulled off to sleep with "The Fearless Vampire Killers". Great atmosphere for nighty night time.

"Fangs of the Living Dead" aka "Malenka" (1969). Directed by Amando de Ossorio.

Now this is an odd bad movie, in some ways it is not bad at all...there is some cool vampire stuff with nice creepy atmosphere and it's scary and weird. The good sequences seem very Bava-influenced. Certainly the lighting is very spooky during the scary moments. But most of the movie seems like a comedy spoof of vampire films, with broad goofy humor.

Overall, the total effect is more cozy than scary and its cheeseball logic puts it squarely in idiot territory. The American version has a comedy ending that is supposedly not present in the original Italian release. The version with the "straight" ending is supposed to be far better, but I have only seen the US release

I actually had more fun watching the classic as it wasn't so drawn out.

stubbornforgey
03-20-2007, 11:16 AM
unsure really.
Good job anyways..he's taking new line to court for more money.
He doesn't think the quarter of a mil he got was enough.
I mean..hes suing thier asses off and is dumbfounded as to why they won't hire him
for the Hobbit movie....is he a kiwi or what??
Maybe when they gave him the stomach staple op..they put all the fat
into his head or something. :rolleyes:

There's not to many that fit the criteria that i watch repeatedly or ever have. Maybe some of the later friday the 13ths, and the basket case movies, although the first one is well made gthe next 2 are ultra cheesy!
