Horror Movies: Oddball Favorites
What are your favorite oddball horror films? The ones that are a little strange, or maybe they're not exactly or entirely horror films but you like them anyway and they hold a special place in your heart.
One of my favorites is John Landis' SCHLOCK, which is mainly a wacky comedy about a monster. Most of the time it is played for laughs, but there are a couple of disturbing scenes in it. And yes, it is about a big hairy monkey.

Good question, what is a horror movie but isn't a horror movie...
Perhaps a lot of Troma that I like such as Surf Nazis must die... Tromeo and Juilet etc..

Now now...it's shameful to try to whack a list with another list..."unsung" and "oddball" are two different things...
"Schlock," by the way, was directly inspired by "Trog"...Landis saw "Trog" and was so amazed at how bad it was that he set out to make a cheap movie that played the idea for laughs. Here is another one...a short film called "Monkeyland Christmas." This film shows how chimpanzees have Christmas--they don't have it, actually, but the filmmakers dress up a chimp as Santa Claus and put a paper mask on his face to make him look like a human and film him climbing down a chimney into a livingroom. The chimp then slinks around the room dragging a bag of presents, not knowing what to do, and then starts hopping up and down in a monkey kind of way. Then it takes the paper mask off and drags it around the room. Everyone I have shown this film to has been disturbed and frightened by it. You can buy it on DVD as part of the "Campy Christmas Curiosities" compilation, available at Amazon.

I think I'll always hold a special place in my heart for Jack Frost. It's bad, but in a good way. The sequel on the other hand is bad, in a bad way.

you just made my day. i used to rent that from this weird, hole-in-the-wall video store in the town where i grew up that strangely enough had an incredible horror section. it was such an outrageous, hilarious movie. i'd love to find it again. another really cheesy, oddball movie i used to rent was [b]the willies[/i]. pretty much as cheesy as it gets.
