The Evil Dead.
Sucky, sucky, stoopid sucky. That crazy Sam Raimi.

I know it's cliche now, but Plan 9 From Outer Space is just so laughably, hilariously, incompetent. I mean, it doesn't let up. From the off-screen death of Boris Karloff (walks around garage, you hear screeching breaks, a scream, and that's all), to the sheriff scratching his head with the business end of his revolver, with the dizzying lack of continuity of whether it's day or night (that one lady sits out on her night patio the whole freakin' movie, I think) to the wobbly flying saucer to ... oh, tune it in anywhere. You can't miss. Just don't expect sense. There's no reason to MST3K this one. It does it for itself.
As for bad fifties sci-fi, I've always liked ROBOT MONSTER. Gorilla suit? Check. Diving helmet? Check. We have our 'monster'. MST3K took a crack at it. It even gets a mention in King's DANSE MACABRE--Uncle Stevie writes about watching it stoned and laughing his arse off.
That's blasphemy, right there!!
We usually went to the drive-in on dates so I've seen a lot of trashy movies lol. This one was pretty neat 
This is one of my favorites. It was really hokey lol

Absolutely. They did a couple sequels, like, IT'S ALIVE 2 and ISLAND OF THE ALIVE, right? Or are those the same movie? I know they did one, at least.
Reminds me another, THE BROOD, Cronenberg, Oliver Reed--killer toddlers and disgusting 'births' (some nasty stuff--one brat beats a lady to death with a meat tenderizing mallet, leaving bloody square hash marks all over her face).
Evil killer kid genre, big in the seventies, apparently. Really weird one, THE VISITOR, from '79. Lotta biggies; old, creepy John Huston is an alien hunting for this nasty little foul mouthed evil girl. Lance Henrickson, Shelley Winters, Franco Nero pops up as a blue-eyes alien 'Jesus' right at the end. Just a weird, weird flick.
aw good stuff guys! Muskrat,I was thinking of the brood too! yeah that was a nasty little film..and No bounce,cracks me up,I was just watching They Live,which I guess was Roddy's next movie on El Rey network,which is showing John Carpenter marathon..that movie has a like six or seven minute fight sequence with Roddy and the other star,at the end,they are beat to ****,and get a room in a fleabag hotel,and Roddy looks at the other guy and says "ain't love grand" lol that was some funny stuff..
That (and the fight scene between Nettie and Wilma in Needful Things) are the best fight scenes ever!
They Live is one of my all-time favorite movies. It stays on my dvr

They Live rocks. Saw it at a midnight showing on the big screen last fall. Great time!
South Park did a shot for shot recreation of the fight scene with Jimmy and Timmy awhile back. Pretty awesome \w/
Oh lord, how have I not mentioned Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters ? That bit with the splinter...woah.
Best theme song from a horror movie I reckon.

Funny you should say that, because for a school project myself and some friends made a riff track on Plan 9 from Outer Space, and I actually got to talk to Joel from MST3K for help.
He certainly seemed like a very nice man.
My fave Fulci gotta be CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD (or, THE GATES OF HELL). That gag where the chick pukes up her guts...ugh.
Nemesis and Cyborg are probably Albert Pyun's undisputed masterpieces.
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER, tell ya what. Actually saw it in the theatre when I was five or six, my first big 'R' rated flick, and it forever warped my brain. I could watch it right now.
Wow, too cool. You're my hero!Funny you should say that, because for a school project myself and some friends made a riff track on Plan 9 from Outer Space, and I actually got to talk to Joel from MST3K for help.
