I don't know, I've seen quite a few horror films that are good if watched as comedies... Like House Of Wax.

Dr. Phibes Rises Again was on the TV the other night.....

I admit that I didn't watch all of it, but it looked pretty craptacular. 
I mean, Vincent Price...  What more could a bad-film-fan ask?

Vincent Price was a great actor, check out the awesome Witchfinder General. Theatre Of Blood is also well worth watching,

you cannot fault any of Vincent prices work..... all of the "Poe" films were excelent and I have them all....a young jack Nicholson in Fall of The House Of Usher is worth it alone

With all due respect to an actor whose work I have generally enjoyed, a couple
of his movies (that I know of) really did suck....  No, I can't quote titles, because
they simply weren't that memorable.

I think most of the Friday the 13th franchise would be in here, but since I've just seen it for the first time, I'm gonna go with Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (which was really part four out of ten). I was laughing a lot towards the end, but I dug it anyway. Two is still my favorite, though. Plus, a very young Corey Feldman made the whole experience more enjoyable, as I was waiting for him to stake Jason the whole time. :P

This may not be a big surprise but i'm a huge fan of The Friday The 13th franchise (except Freddy Vs Jason & FT13th pt 5 A New Begining as it wasn't Jason) I would have to say, apart from the classic first one (which wasn't Jason) my favourites are part 3 as I saw it in 3D & part 7 The New Blood. Jason X I thought was awesome & really took the whole franchise in a more tongue in cheek direction which I think worked.

Something I like about the Friday the 13th movies is that you can fit them all in continuity, even Jason X and Freddy vs. Jason. I find that pretty cool, especially when considering that there have been eleven films (minus the remake, of course) with the iconic character. Well, ten, taking Part V out of the equation.

French 70's surreal movie? If so it's really good.

So my boyfriend is a huge horror fan, something that we share in common. He's crazy about slasher films, no matter how trashy or ridiculous they are. A few days ago, he told me he'd rewatched a flick called Valentine. He sarcastically said it was one of the best slasher films of the past decade (nevertheless, he still wants it in his DVD collection), telling me there was nothing special about it and that it was extremely forgettable. Therefore, I just HAD to watch it.

The whole prototype of a movie that was Valentine has only two types of characters: the stereotypically slutty women and the stereotypically douchebag men. The twist at the end I could see coming from a mile and the second twist in the end was just as predictable, even if it nullified the previous twist and made the movie make no sense whatsoever. I hated this movie with every fiber of my being. And at the same time, I loved it. Watch it. It's just too terrible for you not to see it.

Sorry but Valentine is just dreadful, it has no reedeming moments at all.

much of the new wave of big(ish) budget US horror films are really boring and highly terrible....derivative scripts lazy character development and even the effects can be somewhat rubbish.... the blatant rubber limbs in the cabinet freezer in The Hills Have Eyes remake being a prime example..... the only mildly good thing in that film was the Rubber johnny reference
