The Names for These 15 Movies Can’t Be Possible
I always wondered if there was this guy that just sat in a room and named movies all day. Like is there a position titled “Movie Namer?” I mean there’s gotta be one of these guys in the porn industry right? I refuse to believe that many people can come up with some of the genius titles they have in that industry.
But seriously. Is there some dude who is paid to come up with appropriate titles? If there is, then I’m not sure if this guy deserves a raise or should be fired for the names of these particular movies.
I have to read them twice to believe that these are actual, real movies that some (not many) people saw
I can’t believe it but I’ve actually seen one of these. Hell Comes to Frogtown to be exact. Roddy Piper ftw. Ahhh such a misplaced childhood.
Nice to see Ecks vs. Sever in there.
I would like to recommend a great movie with an absurd title: Amazon Women on the Moon.
It’s sad how many of these I’ve seen. You’re missing the extremely-difficult-to-pronounce “Anthropophagus”, though!
And what about “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death”? Or the classic “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo”? Or…”ATTACK OF THE CLONES”?!
You can watch both “MANOS” and “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” in Mystery Science Theater 3000 form. Actually, it’s pretty well thought that MST3K: Manos is the best episodes…. ever. I recommend both though.
MST3K: SCCtM is a holiday tradition in my house.
Although you didn’t actually put it in the list, Lesbian Vampire Killers has at the very least made the rounds of a few festivals in North America, I saw it in a packed theatre hall a month ago. I’d recommend it.
I guess something like this wouldn’t happen today anymore. Oh wait, there is “men staring at goats”…
really? no surfer nazis must die?

Peter Gallagher, John Lithgow, 1998.

Have to say it’s a pretty good list except for the addition of The CarsThat Ate Paris which is a good movie and in my mind an interesting title. How about Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer instead!
I’ve seen 4 of those – all on Mystery Science Theater.
In addition to “Manos” and “Santa Clause” mentioned in Tishy’s comment, “The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies” is also available in MST3K form.
Manos, Santa Claus Conquers the Martions, Eegah!, and The Incredibly Strange Creatures That Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies (or as it’s known to fans, TISCTSLABMZ) were all classic episodes of MST3K. Ray Dennis Steckler, director and star (more or less) of TISCTSLAMBZ, actually died this year of a heart attack. Sad.
I remember watching “Sssssss” on Encore as a kid. Oddly, I knew there were exactly 7 s’s in the title without having ever seen it just by the way it was pronounced by the announcer.
no ‘Don’t go near the refrigerator?’
or its sequel ‘Crazy Fat Ethel 2?’
The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse.

Gangster spoof starring Edward G. Robinson, Claire Trevor, and Bogart! Title sounds like someone was trying to sneak an anatomy joke past the censors.
I can’t believe you missed out Gay Niggers from Outer Space. Or The Return of Nigger Charley. To hell with your lame list.
Wow, I’ve not seen ANY of these.
Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo is an awesome movie name … you know, after the fact.
But, you failed to put down the simplest and worst movie name ever: Love & Basketball.
Seriousy. Really?
Saw “Sssssss” with friends at its original release. At the end, we stood in unison and hissed at the screen. Awful.
Lesbian Vampire Killers was a major box office movie over here in the UK, my brother watched it on DVD a few weeks back and said it was pretty funny.
I’d have incuded a few Troma flicks in your list: Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, Surf Nazis must Die, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
Well obviously “Ilsa, She-Wolf of the S.S.” belongs on this list.
I think horror movies are the most notorious for having horrible names. Whoever thought of the title “Monsturd” needs to be taken out back and shot.
The ghost made her belly button invisible.
I’ve seen all those except for Nutzoid, Phht, and Rat Phink. And they are all bad, bad movies!
I can’t believe you forgot “Snakes on a Plane”. Talk about stupid titles.
what about the fake trailers from grindhouse? “Don’t” and “Werewolf Women of the SS”
Wow many, I just can say “i’ve never seen it all before, is there movie I need to wach?”
what title…hehe
there’s alway “Gas! -Or- It Became Necessary to Destroy the World in Order to Save It.” by roger corman. a gas made by the US military kills anyone over the age of 25. most ridiculous and god awful movie i ever saw, surprised mst3k never got a hold of it
how ’bout the wayans brothers classic “don’t be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood” can’t get much more random than that.
