Pinata Island takes the cake.
You heard me correctly - P I N A T A Island.
Seriously.
Also, "Frogs" from the 70's is pretty craptacular as well.
Oh, man! Frogs was terrible. It was just shots of frogs near the doors, and frogs next to dead bodies, and even a turtle next to a body. And they weren't even big frogs (or turtle). They were just frogs!! I haven't thought about that movie in so long. I don't even remember how they were killing people.
Manitou
Tony Curtis...yeah right!
Kindred
Jeez was this one goofy. Lucky I had a friend that worked at the local 4-plex and could get me in free to 1-2 movies a week.
Return to Horror High
although this one had Marsha Brady eating a very messy footlong chilidog that dripped...
Monkey Shines
I thought this one had Ally Sheedy in it, but maybe the lead actress looked like her. Imdb is giving it a 6/10 but I remember laughing my ass off while watching it...couldve been the Budweisers though. I remember watching that one and Evil Dead 2 in a marathon and just giggling all night.
My absolute favorite remains Night of the Living Dead. The really really campy 80s version. For an even bigger laugh, check out the original trailer for it. "The dead are here. And they're not vegetarian". Had me laughing for weeks on end. That and the pudding/jelly-like consistency of the brains.That's actually Return of the Living Dead. That wasn't Romero, but his former partner from the original Night of the Living Dead. After the split they settled on rights. Romero kept on just using "the Dead," while the other guy got rights to "the Living Dead." That's why the sequels are Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead.
Aah, thank you. I KNEW something was off in the title. I'm going to go look for it right now. Thanks for the history/legal lesson, it's interesting how these things work out.
I have yet to see this, but I saw a movie at the DVD store called "Monsturd", about a monster made out of...you guessed it....crap.
Definately on my "to rent" list.
1) Killer Klowns from Outerspace - need I comment?
!
Dude. Seriously. That movie scared the living frack out of me as a child.
The Hand of Moros.
Hands down. >.<

Braindead didn't really do it for me - it is too polished and well put together to be as fun as Bad Taste was. However, the zombie dinner party is worth the price of admissions all by itself, and the dialogue is mostly awesome - I kick ass for the Lord!
Elsewhere, A star is born is pretty horrifying. In one scene, Kris Kristofferson has to kiss Barbra Streisand!

The Living Dead movies are great camp...I always watch when they're on TV, just for the chance to growl "BRAINS!" at people.
You're welcome, by the way. I'm a multi-faceted geek.
I just thought of another really bad, really cheesy horror movie:
Piranha II.
Not the first piranha movie, that one was actually good. And I mean the original first piranha movie, not the '90s remake. No, Piranha II was the sequel in which the piranha were gene-spliced with other fish to make them more durable (and therefore, dangerous). Things like lung fish (so they could live outside the water) and flying fish (so they could fly). And I mean actually fly. I almost choked on my popcorn at the sight of giant fish the size of a 15-pound trout soaring through the air, flapping its fins like wings.
Oh...My...God...

My vote has to go for Dracula 3000, released in 2004. You get to see Coolio at his best... *shivers* I was really hoping that it would be similar to Dracula 2000 (yeah, definitely a wrong assumption) and my roommate and I barely were able to make it through the movie. The never-ending dramatic scene where they open up 200 coffins one at a time waiting to see which one Dracula is in? 5 minutes of dramatic build-ups and pauses takes its toll. I highly recommend this one to all who want to top their friends at finding the worst movie ever! However, the last 2 minutes of the movie had to be the best part of it, so make sure you hold out until the end.

Bad Taste has one of my favorite quotes ever:
"I'm a Derek. Derek's don't run."
Ahh.. it makes me happy.

I'm pretty sure Pirahna II was an early James Cameron flick, believe it or not.
I found 'Cabin Fever' to be one of the worst movies I ever seen. Everything about it screams CHEAP!!!
I was very disapointed in 'Dreamcatcher' which started out pretty creepy (with all the forest animals walking in the same direction), but ended in total crappness.

Actually I liked Dreamcatcher. I saw it with the wife in the theatre just for the Final Flight of the Osiris trailer attached to it. I liked the acting, and although the ending could have been a LITTLE bit better. (Hey. Hey.), it did surprise me.
How about "Dead and Breakfast"? Nothing beats singing zombies.

That's the problem with most Stephen King books turned into movies (With a few exceptions.)

I'm not sure if I saw that but:
"hell comes to Frogtown" was enough of a horror movie for me..
Rowdy Rody Piper as the last fertile sperm layer in the world..what a scary prospect fir the human race..
Candy Stripers was pretty bad..

I've seen dozens of horrible B movies, but unfortunately can't recall titles at the moment. I suspect this is my brain protecting me from the massive sanity loss on par with Call of Cthulhu levels. We actually rolled for sanity loss after viewing some movies.
I've seen things, things man was never meant to view on the screen. Things that would make Killer Tomatoes look like Lord of the Rings in comparison.
You'll excuse me, I have to go hide under my couch now.

Now, I LOVE cheesy movies. But in terms of BAD movies, my vote goes to Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea.
Half of the main characters are utterly unlikeable, it treats scientists as a bunch of maniacal twits, portrays sharks far worse than Jaws ever could, and is basically a swift kick in the nuts to anyone watching it.
Even "turning off my brain", there was just too much idiotic and forced situations that made me say ENOUGH ALREADY. They might has well have had the sharks wielding machine guns.
EDIT: Not to mention, but pretty much everyone in the movie stands around going "Duh, what's happening?" and then dies.
Bad Moon
Stars Muriel Hemingway and is based on a book titled Thor. The book was meh. The movies is the worst piece of crud I've ever seen.
And I love 1) bad movies, 2) dogs, 3) Muriel Hemingway, and 4) werewolves.
Absolute cheese, using The Jadite definition. Cheese.

Has anybody mentioned C.H.U.D. without me noticing?
Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, how can you go wrong?
Plus, its got Daniel Stern in it, who got the role because Robert Englund dropped out to do Nightmare on Elm Street.
The sequel was pure sacrilege though. They changed the CHUDs into regular lookin' zombies instead of the glowing eyed freaks they were, and the only way to kill them was to Freeze Them, then Electricute them. That one was definitely on the Camp side of things.
I must add another to the list
Deathrace 2000 with David Caradine and Sly Stalone. The plot a race across the US with points earned for killing people along the way.
As a kid I loved Deathrace 2000. It was a camp classic from Corman, certainly not a horror film, and it had many of us, forever after, saying "20 points" when we joked about running over a pedestrian.
As I read through the proposals, I think "Oh yeah, I remember that one" and "He's right; that one was pretty bad". And so I realize, I'm hitting a good 70-75% of these movies seen. I think I'm disturbed by that...
(Edit: And Bruce Campbell is still the King!) >:)
When I saw "Anaconda," my roommate's girlfriend was visiting and screamed and screamed and screamed!!! Her over-reacting made the movie fun, like going on a haunted hayride with a screamer.
"Slither" is fun and cheesy because it's like Firefly with only 11% of the cast and no spaceship.
"Fido" is creepy. Not because of the zombies, but because of the 1950's social mores. Propriety!!!
"Alligator 2" was also a big cheese-fest. Oh, Hodges!
"876-EVIL" was also pretty bad, but un-intentionally hilarious.
I always thought Orca was pretty bad.
I always thought Orca was pretty bad.
When I was a tiny tot, my mother took me to see Orca and pulled us out of the theater after only a few minutes in, when the dead orca fetus fell from its slaughtered mother's belly. A few years later I saw it in its entirety and realized that the male orca's motivation, throughout the film, was revenge. A very reasonable revenge.
I saw Jaws 2 in the theaters (not with my mother, or she would have pulled me out of that one as well). I think Jaws 2 nicked the revenge premise, as it came out a full year after Orca.
Cheese is a definition that I don't think fits Orca all that well, but I certainly doubt the film is in many personal film collections. I suppose the 70's model of the pier was a bit cheesy... but at the time even many of the best films had those awful SFX.
I often wonder if the kids of today, who take CGI for granted, could even watch a film with old SFX and get anything out of them. After Jurassic Park, all earlier dinosaur films must seem like cave drawings to them.

I heard one of the actors, Jay Thomas, joke that it was so bad that after they wrapped on the movie, he saw it on the airplane on the way home.

Well Manos The Hands of Fate was given an Oscar for being the worst movie ever made, so I would have to go with that. Eight Legged Freaks was pretty bad in an intentional sort of way. Same with The Monster Squad (one of my all time favorite movies as a kid back in the late eighties). From Dusk To Dawn was pretty good at being cheesy, I think George Cloony's last line was utter stinky cheese. I loved when the camera pulls back and you see that the backside of the bar is an ancient Aztec pyramid. The ones after that were just bad.

How about "Dead and Breakfast"? Nothing beats singing zombies.
"Dead and Breakfast" is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen! Made me go out and buy the Soundtrack. Great Stuff!
But if you want some real cheese, check out "Incubus." It's a little known Spanish gem, starring William Shatner. Combine a thin plot about demons, William Shatner, and the Spanish language, and you've got quite the gem! If you think Shatner overacts in English, wait till you hear him do it in Spanish!

It's not Spanish, it's Esperanto (which is even funnier).

How about Carnosaur?
I cant help but laugh when I think about the makers of this movie saying to themselves "This is gonna be so cool" and Jurassic Park comes out the same year.
also, a late night goodie I watched earlier this year.
2001 Maniacs, with Robert Englund. A redneck town full of cannibals. Now thats some southern hospitality.

Oh man, I rented Carnosaur when it first came out on video. I was 13, and was really into Jurassic Park, but the birth-scene at the end of the movie broke my young mind.

Lets not forget Carnasaur 2-1 Billion. That's the biggest problem with most cheesy movies. Once they make one, they just can't stop. It's like Satan's Lays potato chips. And as far as intentional cheese, I'm suprised no one has brought up the Scary Movie series.
