Have you ever watched a horror movie by yourself and thought it was so bad,
that you wished you could sell your soul to the devil just to get those two
wasted hours of your life back? More
importantly, have you ever watched the exact same movie another time with your
friends and found yourself actually enjoying it?
Viewing a horror movie by yourself with incredibly bad acting,
unintentionally funny moments and preposterous low budget gore can be very
painful to watch. Although, I find when you’re gathered around good friends,
(and tons of booze) you enjoy the movie more and appreciate the elements of the
film that made the first viewing experience more excruciating than getting a
root canal.
Even beloved cult classics can be more entertaining if you watch it with a
cool crowd. So here is my top ten list of B-horror
movies (both good and bad) that will please your party guests.
WARNING – SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!
10. Feast
There are a lot of
people out there who have yet to see this 2006 creature feature, and if
you’re one of those people, I’d suggest you get your ass to the nearest
video store. This movie has tons
of gore, cheesy lines and even a Jason Mewes cameo sure to please any
ViewAskew fan out there.
Just
watch this movie with a ton of friends, and don’t make the mistake I made
by watching this flick with your family.
I can not describe the level of humiliation you will experience after
watching an alien hump a woman’s face and come all over it, if you sit
there watching it with your mother right beside you. You might go catatonic
for the rest of the movie. (I know I did.) You’ve been warned.
9. Cemetery
Man
This Italian zombie flick is best viewed with your pothead friends. Sorry, I had
to blunt, (no pun intended) but this movie can only truly be appreciated, when
there is weed present. This movie is
already a total mind f*cking experience, but when you watch it with your friends
stoned, prepare to feel like you and your friends are in the movie battling the
“returners” with Francesco and Ghangi. It will blow your MIND!
8.
Abominable
Putting a movie on about Bigfoot at a party
will sure get some laughs at first, but watch your guests jump in shock when the
grisly murders happen in this gruesome sleeper hit. (Especially the bathroom
kill…YEESH!) When I watched this movie with friends, I was beyond freaked out
and had a genuinely fun time with the viewing experience. (Your hardcore horror
geek friends will love the Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen scene.) Although,
when I watched the film by myself, the monster looked as real as the rubber poop
monster did in Dogma.!
7. Silent
Night Deadly Night 2
This is the only one on the list that I would
suggest fast forwarding until your half way through the movie. (Due to the fact
that the first half of the film is just flashbacks from the predecessor. LAME!)
Once you get to the last half of the film, round up all your buddies and
cue it to Ricky’s infamous “GARBAGE DAY” rampage in the suburbs. (*Only do
this if you haven’t already sent this to all of your friends on
YouTube.)
Believe me when I say, you and your friends will wear out the rewind button on
your DVD controller.
6. Killer
Klown From Outer Space
Hard to believe, but this film is pretty
difficult to show at a party. There’s always at least one coulrophobe (a
person scared of clowns) in the bunch that ruins it for everybody. If you can
convince those one or two people that an alien clown is not going to wrap them
up in cotton candy and suck their blood through a straw in real life, (it sounds
easy enough, but you’d be surprised.) then you and your friends can enjoy the
outrageous sundae kills and the hilarious demise of John Vernon’s character
together.
PART 2 OF THIS LIST IS COMING SOON!
