Bizarre Horror Movies

How hard can it be to come up with an interesting and original premise for a scare flick? Here’s one: a homicidal, unstoppable zombie kills teenagers by a lake because years ago he drowned there and… no wait, it’s already been done. OK, then how about: a pedophile-turned-dream demon from Hell who preys on his victims while they sleep… what? Seven sequels and counting?

Maybe coming up with new horror ideas isn’t that easy. It would certainly explain why the industry has been scraping the bottom of the idea barrel for the last couple of years. Check out these six baffling horror movies from our own backyard:

Monsturd (2003)

You know you have quality when the quotes on the poster can be taken as condemnation

The key to a successful horror film is building suspense and developing a feeling of dread in a situation that the viewers can relate to. One way to go about it is turning common, everyday activities into horrifying death threats. This is where “Monsturd’s” genius reveals itself.

In this Direct-to-Video movie, an escaped serial killer dies in the underground sewage system, but thanks to a combination of genetic engineering chemicals and toxic waste (known by their proper scientific name as Deusus Exus Machinaus) the killer gets turned into a homicidal mutant entirely made up of feces… yeah. Let us repeat that: He gets turned into a fudge monster.

In most people, this idea would trigger an uncontrollable laughing fit, but they are clearly not considering one thing: namely, how the monster attacks. The answer is, of course, from the sewers – crawling into your home through the toilet, in all likelihood when you are sitting on it. This is the monster that can attack you at your most vulnerable, not to mention in a most humiliating way.

The very idea should, aptly, cause you to mess your pants
