So, there's a page for Good Horror Movies, but what about the ones so bad, that they're hilariously fun to watch?

I think Army of Darkness is a good one in this respect  :)

Fortunately for this thread, bad horror movies outnumber good horror movies by 2-to-1.

An American Werewolf In Paris, Troll 2, Plan 9 From Outer Space, the two Halloween remakes, the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th remakes, House Of 1000 Corpses, all Saw movies after 2, Gingerbread Man, Dracula 2000, all Tales From The Crypt movies (except the original). Dreamcatcher, Alone In The Dark, Ghost Ship, House on Haunted Hill remake, Anaconda, Maximum Overdrive, Exorcist 2, Hostel, The Happening, Nightmare on Elm Street (after 3), Manos: Hands of Fate, Friday the 13th (after 5 or 6, especially Jason X), The Leprechaun, Queen of the Damned, Feardotcom, The Haunting (remake), The Wicker Man...

And last but not least: Every single SyFy "horror" movie ever made.

2-1 my ass, more like 100-1. Also I liked Queen of the Damned and Exorcist 2, but I don't consider them Horror movies.

The Aliens series was a terrifying example of good scfi horror. 

Troll 2 SUCKS!!!

Man with the Screaming Brain. That was my first Bruce Campbell film I watched, and I was on the floor for half the movie. Even though it was complete and utter garbage on a logical scale.

Don't get me started on The Happening. I only watched it because I thought the plot would have an interesting idea but they did it to Hell and coupled it with horrible acting. The gore was the only thing about the film that didn't make me want to throw my TV into the drier, start a fire, and burn down my entire apartment complex.

I really, really, REALLY hate that movie.

lol Steven King liked it.

Steven King should stick to writing then.

One movie I liked A LOT - but totally hate with a passion is The Mist.

It has one of the coolest stories going, but then ends it with the most lazy cliché' and utterly uncharacteristically stupid endings of all time. It was like they served up a seven-course meal of suspense/survival/horror goodness, but then, right when it’s time for desert, they tell you to get the hell out of restaurant. When you complain, the waiter spits his chewing gum on your plate and says – “There’s your fucking desert. Movie’s over. Thanks for watching.”

I concur. There wasn't any logic or reasoning to have an ending like that. The novel didn't end like that, so why tack on an ending (which, to be, is one of the worst endings of all time) to an otherwise pretty good horror movie?

And even worse than the moronically illogical suicides, is the 'rainbows and sunshine, everything is going to be fine', bullshit at the final scene where the army shows up - and somehow (magically?) the clouds part and the monsters are no longer all that scary or even competent anymore...

Maybe I should read the book?
