Worst horror movies of all time

By NORTHERN STAR STAFF

“House of Wax”

In this film a group of friends set out on a road trip only to end up in a small abandoned town. Soon they find out that the town is not as quiet as they thought as the town is made out of wax and all the statues of people are more than just figurines. Although this film includes Paris Hilton getting impaled, the film lacks true suspense and makes the viewer laugh more than scream.

“The Gingerdead Man”

A convict who was sentenced to death has his evil spirit possess the dough of a gingerbread man and starts killing people. It’s far from scary, but I did, however, lose sleep over this “horror” movie because I was too busy laughing all night at the cheesy special effects and terrible plot idea.

“Day of the Dead” (2008 Remake)

Sometimes when Romero’s ideas get reinterpreted they come out good (see 2004’s “Dawn of the Dead”). In every other case, “Living Dead” remakes make a complete mockery of the genre. When the most likable character in the cast is a vegetarian zombie, you’ve got some major script issues.

“Deep Rising”

An awful mix of “The Poseidon Adventure” and something with a giant squid, this horror movie works a lot better as a crappy B-movie. It’s not scary at all and the monster is quite lame. The whole movie drags and there are plot holes and inconsistencies galore.

“Killer Klowns from Outer Space”

This movie is the tackiest waste of film in the history of cinema. While it’s funny in its tackiness, I hardly want to scream when people die by getting wrapped in cotton candy. Other horror movies have an element of realism to jolt the viewer into fright. This one is just pitiful.

“Terror Toons”

By far one of the biggest cinematic abominations of all time, this straight to DVD mess is about two girls who receive a movie from the Devil. When they start to watch the DVD at their house party, the cartoon characters Dr. Carnage and Max Assassin come to life and start killing everyone at the party. Enough said.

“Scream 3”

There is not a more self-indulgent film out there. Obviously running out of ideas, the “Scream” team decided to re-make the first film all over again in a movie within a movie. Totally clever! Worth seeing for the moment David Arquette and Neve Campbell realize their careers are over.
