This Halloween season we decided to bring you the best of the worst horror movies we know. Whether overly gory, absurdly predictable or just straight silly, we love to hate ’em! The Official Sinners put together a list of their favorite horror flicks that can only be described as “so bad, they’re good”. Here are our TOP 20 picks:

20. Orgy of the Dead (1965)
    Legendary B-movie filmmaker Ed Wood wrote this screenplay about a horror writer who takes his girlfriend to a cemetery late at night to get inspiration for his next book. There they stumble upon a bizarre scene in which a mysterious figure known as the Emperor oversees a burlesque review of undead dancers performing bump and grind routines. Meanwhile, a wisecracking duo of a werewolf and mummy provide running commentary on the naughty hijinks. The lack of plot to focus on and the mix of sexy babes and monsters makes this film perfect for playing in the background of a Halloween party.

19. Blood Freak (1972)
    The film that dares to show you the dangers of doing drugs! A Vietnam War vet is turned on to the underground drug culture by a couple of groovy chicks. After smoking his first joint, he becomes a hopeless addict to marijuana. To feed his addiction, he agrees to be a guinea pig in an experiment testing out chemically altered turkey meat. The side effects are severe, and he wakes up to find his own head replaced with that of a giant turkey. His drug addiction now switched to a lust for drinking blood, the feathered fiend goes on a killing spree. Blood Freak was intended to be Christian propaganda designed to steer kids away from drugs and move them towards Jesus but getting stoned helps with the enjoyment of this movie.

18. Spookies (1986)
    You want monsters? Spookies gives you monsters. In this film you’ll get zombies, a grim reaper, a spider woman, reptilian creatures, a werecat with a hook for a hand, a demon possessed woman, an evil sorcerer, an octopus with electric tentacles, a wicked witch, a fanged, green skinned boy in a Jawal hood, and muckmen who make fart sounds when they walk. What you won’t get are good acting and a coherent plot.

17. Hack-O-Lantern (1989)
    An elderly pumpkin farmer and devil worshipper grooms his grandson to become a killer to perform a human sacrifice on Halloween. Bollywood director Jag Mundhra was hired to helm this film despite not knowing a thing about Halloween, horror films or American culture in general. The result is an absolute bonkers mix of odd ideas such as the Hindu goddess Kali dancing with severed heads to a heavy metal band, a comedian performing a stand-up routine randomly inserted into the film, bad special effects, gratuitous nudity, and confusing plot twists.

16. Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)
    Ernest battles a horde of evil trolls (the fantasy kind, not the online ones) whose dastardly plan is to kidnap children and drain them of their energy. As a kid, these trolls were pretty fucking scary. If the trolls look familiar, they are repurposed props from the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This film can be paired in a double feature with Hocus Pocus if you’re looking for films age-appropriate to show creepy kids before they move on to the heavier stuff.

15. Scream Queens (TV Series 2015)
    Ok, I’m breaking the rules here since this is not a movie but it’s too good to exclude (plus I’m the boss around here!). If 90’s cult classics Clueless and Scream were to have a baby, it’d be Scream Queens. It’s chock full of Horror Queens like Jamie Lee Curtis, and Billie Lourd and Emma Roberts of AHS fame — to name a few. A crew of sociopathic sorority brats, get stalked by a serial killer and also become killers of their own. It’s easily binge-able, so I recommend you dedicate a weekend to watching everyone on Scream Queens take each other out.
    
16. Splatter (2009)
    I love this one so much it also appeared on last year’s Halloween Horror Flicks list.
    Corey Feldman is the undead lead singer of a glam metal band, who is out to get revenge on the greedy crew that drove him to splatter his brains on the wall. The entire film is only 29 minutes long, so you really don’t have to suffer through too much.

13. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
    My favorite horror film is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). It checks off all the classic slasher expectations. Part 2 however, is so unrealistic it’s silly. This one takes place mostly in a rockin’ radio station starring Bill Mosley as “Chop Top” Sawyer. A groovy Vietnam vet with a metal plate in his head and pal to Leatherface. None of it really makes sense, but it’s a delight to watch.
