More Bad Titles for Horror Movies

A couple of years ago — okay, almost three — I posted a list of truly awful titles for horror movies that had occurred to me during my off hours. In honor of the current Halloween season, I thought I’d exhume and — what’s more — expand the list. You can never have too many bad movie titles on hand. So here’s the original list reprinted for your Halloween holiday pleasure, followed by a dozen new entries. To my knowledge, nobody has yet used any of the original 26 for an actual movie. If you decide to lift any of them, feel free to mention my name.

The original list:

1. Screech
2. The Mewling
3. Heckraiser
4. Candydude
5. Disco, Monster, Disco!
6. The Bride of Weasel Man
7. Re-Constipator
8. The Gnat
9. Night of the Lactating Dead
10. Prancer
11. Alien Colonoscopy
12. The Beast from 2 Fathoms
13. Arbor Day
14. My Funky Valentine
15. Tales from the Outhouse
16. The Tickle Pit of Doctor Gigglehausen
17. I Waltzed with a Zombie
18. Curse of the Care Bear
19. Heckbound: Heckraiser II
20. Frankenstein and the Monster from Cleveland
21. Rosemary’s Baby-Daddy
22. That Booger Fella
23. Alien, Shmalien
24. Something Wicked Awesome This Way Comes
25. Salem’s Sandlot
26. The Lincoln Log Murders

New titles for Halloween 2011:

27. Sanford and Son of Satan
28. The Haunting of Toll House
29. Blood in Satan’s Craw
30. The Thingamabob
31. Entrails for Xmas
32. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: A Love Story
33. The Last Smurf on Earth
34. The Tackle Box Murders
35. Scat People
36. The Phantom of the Opry
37. Frankenstein vs. Wolfman Jack
38. The Wanking Dead

(Note: After coming up with these titles, I discovered that although there apparently haven’t been any movies using them, the new list does feature a couple that have been used for stage productions. #32 is the title of a real play that was so poorly received, it almost killed a Canadian theater. #36 was the title of a 1989 sketch starring Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews. It’s also a full-length stage musical. Apparently, no title is too bad to try in real life.)
