Totally boring movie, lots of very quiet talking so you turn up the volume to hear them. Occasionally there is a FLASH of a ghost accompanied by an extremely LOUD sound which makes you jump. That's the total of the horror.

was the lower billing on a double feature and of course, it showed first. The only time I ever heard cheering in the theater when the film broke. Unfortunately, the cameraman fixed it and we had to watch it through to the end to see the featured movie, which I don't remember at all.

It is not so much a movie as it is an effort to win a bar bet with Stirling Silliphant - Harold Warren, the man who made Manos, bet Silliphant that he could make an entire horror film on his own. The best part of Manos is Harold Warren's admission it's the worst movie ever made.

Absolute worst horror movie of all time: Maximum Overdrive.

As Brian Griffin on Family Guy put it:

"A bunch of people alone in the woods. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. I don't know - something about a map. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. It's over. A lot of people in the audience look pissed."

It's so bad that it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry.

I'm dating myself with this one (1964!). Potentially the greatest waste of film in history, it starred Ray Dennis Steckler, billed as 'Cash Flagg', and boasted a budget of $38,000, the highest of any Steckler production. I paid to see this POS in the theater, and even at fifteen I knew it was total dreck.

because I like the bad horror movies. Though, I prefer the alien/wolfman/vampire and biological invader themes than I do the paranormal ones.

I absolutely hate the ones that involve mannequins. Not sure why.

Plus most of the "legit" horror movies are a yawnfest for me. I cut my terror teeth on Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat" when I was a teenager and NO movie ever made could evoke fear in me like that story could. Maybe because movies weren't around in Victorian times, authors induced such fright with their words and your imagination that nothing cinematic could live up to.

"The Pit and the Pendulum" was shit-scary as well. I still loathe and despise rats to this day because of it!

I have not actually seen the full movie so I don't know whether or not it as bad as Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter but the trailer may well be the worst movie trailer I have ever seen, it is however worth watching for the unintentional humor.
