Tobe Hoopers follow up to Chainsaw. He must have been dropping acid when he made this. Seriously. Some of the diolague and scenes are so random and odd.....It's great.
The BabyThe Baby

Probably the most bizarre concept for a horror movie....ever. A full grown man acts, dresses, and is treated like an infant by his family. A social worker comes to observe this weirdness and soon has a plan of her own for the child (man). Very...very weird.

Wow! Probably the most ungodly and revolting movie i have ever had the pleasure of viewing. It's superb. 4 country folk, including one retard, torture and rape a city woman repeatedly. Up there with Last House on the Left. Guys...beware the bathtub scene.

Blaxploitation again. A black man gets his manhood sliced off by a racist cop and puts him in jail. When he gets out he realizes his dong has grown to an unheard of length. He uses his new member to teach everyone a lesson that's done him wrong. Sounds crazy? It is. Sound funny? oh hell yes it is. Oh, and its sound track is some hilarious 70's funk band.
Duel (Collector's Edition)Duel (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $3.95
Steven Spielbergs 1st film blows Jaws out of the water...pun intended. A simple concept with barely any diolague. A lone driver on a long stretch of highway is being terrorized by a lunitic driving a big rig. Some great camera angles. More terrifying than Jaws too.

I got this 2 movie set just for Criminally Insane. A fat woman is overcome by the uncontrolable urge to eat everything in site, and will stop at NOTHING to keep her stomach full. The lowest budget movie possibly ever. Satans black wedding is horrible don't even bother with it.

Based on a true story of a woman who is repeatedly attacked and raped...by a ghost. Ok sounds a little far fetched, and the ending is a bit disapointing. BUT! I dare you to watch it alone with the lights off. It truely is a very very frightening film.
