Low Budget To The Max

Ok, while posting a response to another post on this board, i began to think of all the low low LOWW budget films that exist.

I always loved horror as a young kid, and i was led to beleive that low budget = movies like pumpkinhead....slumber party massacre..etc...BUTTTT then i came across the realll bad shit..fullmoon...tempe...jack frost 2...terror toons(brain damage films),etc.

I started to like them (especially during my heavy pot smoking days)....then i came across troma, which took a while to get used to, but was like nothing ive ever seen before.

Ther are soo many different types of low budget..they all look soo different..and are special in there own way. You can probably break them down into sub-catergories...

But the worst low budget films that ive ever seen..had to be SCARECROW SLAYER....MIDKNIGHT SKATER and DEMON SUMMER.....those make me wonder...how they ever get released in the first place?...the last two movies mentioned where obviously made by some kids in college with a camcorder and editing software(but yet i bought the dvd at best buy).

Has anyone else seen these? cause i bet no matter what u mention, these are the worst of the worst. (and not in a good way like the other ones i mention in the beg of this post)

Well, if you want to go back to the '50's and 60's here are some really lousy (but fun ) movies:

The Creeping Terror
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Billy The Kid vs Dracula
Jesse James meets Frankensteins Daughter
Empire Of The Ants (mid 70's)
Invasion From Inner Earth
Dracula's Dog

and on and on and on.....

Now that I think of it, I have actually seen a movie that's worse than Scarecrow, and that movie is Uncle Sam (tagline: I want you.... DEAD!) I don't know whatever made the creators of this "film" think it was a good idea, but they were sorely mistaken. Plan 9 From Outer Space is generally regarded as the worst movie of all time, but Plan 9 looks like Rashomon when compared to Uncle Sam.

Evil Dead was in the hundreds of thousands. I think he's saying low budget,as in no budget. Basically, if you went outside, gathered some friends, and filmed a movie in the woods type budget.

Ironically, I making my first feature, Generator, in a few months...watch for it! :)

Scarecrow Slayer may very well be worse, as difficult as that is to imagine. I could never actually bring myself to watch any of the sequels though. There are some films that should never have become franchises.
