The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964)

This movie is #80 on imdb’s list of the worst movies of all time, with a rating of 1.9. But come on, look at that title (which includes the two exclamation marks and the question mark). I want to see it just because of that. And look at the plot:

Jerry falls in love with a stripper he meets at a carnival. Little does he know that she is the sister of a gypsy fortune teller whose predictions he had scoffed at earlier. The gypsy turns him into a zombie and he goes on a killing spree.

That is certainly more original and interesting than much of what’s on tv. Not only has it a great title and a score so low that it would have to have some interesting twists just to be that bad, but some pseudonymous person has written a passioned defense of watching it precisely for its badness:

Let me confine my recommendation to this: if you’re shopping to buy or rent a notoriously “bad” film, don’t choose a jaded, overblown, written-by-committee, painfully self-conscious finger-wagger made c.1994 at a cost of over 50 million, and which was panned as a 1/2-star flop by every critic and moviegoer, yet managed to not only recoup its investment but launched three big-name careers in the process. No, friend, go with a stinker such as this fetid little endeavor, made on a shoestring, enlisting the dubious cooperation of an uninspired carnival sideshow troupe, and which best of all bears the boisterous but distinctive thumb-print of an overly-ambitious director/lead actor/ out-of-his-depth galoot like Ray Dennis Steckler. I couldn’t explain it properly here in the space allowed, but “Incredibly Weird” seems to unintentionally exude a charmingly flatulent air biscuit of Americana; and if a film must have warts, this one has the ones that are best had. “Incredibly Weird …” - a pleasingly inept offering from the days when a film could be bizarre without giving in completely to the perverse, and could gain an audience with no visible means of sustaining one but its overwrought title and its hopelessly inept charm.

I’m guessing watching this would be one of the more interesting things I’ve seen in a while, and I’m not even being ironic.
