10 Most Ridiculous Monster Movies Of All Time

10. Shriek Of The Mutilated (1974)

Little more than a feature length episode of Scooby Doo, Shriek Of The Mutilated’s plot involves an academic who recruits four students (including two girls who resemble Daphne and Velma) to accompany him on a “research expedition” that involves searching for a Yeti in (where else?) upstate New York.

After ignoring a Dire Warning from a Creepy Stranger, the group drive to an Isolated Cabin in a van with flower decals on the side, encounter a Weird Housekeeper and are chased by a monster, whose appearance causes the bookworm to fall and lose her glasses. Naturally, they set a trap for the monster. Naturally, it fails.

The monster is eventually revealed to be the academic in a shabby costume, and in this R-rated version he also turns out to be a cannibal. You see, his plan was to lure the kids to the cabin, kill them and devour them, which – spoiler alert – he does.
