10 Horror Movies Ruined By Bad CGI

Sleepwalkers may not be the worst Stephen King film but it's definitely the weirdest. When a movie has incestuous energy vampires, invisible cars, Mark Hamill, and people getting stabbed to death by corn, you know viewers are in for one hell of a ride.

One of the weirdest moments (and that is saying a lot), is when Sheriff Simpson tries to pull over one of the vampires, Charles, for speeding. When Charles sees Simpson has a cat in his car, he freaks out since his species is vulnerable to felines. When the cat meows, Charles goes into a frenzy, mutating into a baby, a werewolf, an alien, and a werecat, before reverting to his human form.

This special effect is terrible since it looks like the animators used the most primitive morphing software to simulate Charles' transformations. But what makes it worse is that it has NOTHING to do with anything! Why did he turn into a baby?!! It's silly special effects like this that has turned Sleepwalkers into one of the most unintentionally hilarious horror films in recent memory.
