12 Horror Movies That Are Unintentionally Hilarious
4. Nights Of Terror (1981)
Also known as Burial Ground, The Zombie Dead and Zombie 3, Nights Of Terror proves that if you hire a director known for softcore porn to rip-off Dawn Of The Dead, hell make one of the wildest, sleaziest and most unintentionally funny zombie movies ever. Confining his protagonists, who look 20 years too old to be acting like horny teenagers, to a scenic Italian mansion, director Andrea Bianchi has one character model lingerie for her man, who tells her: You look just like a little whore I like that! As another couple argue about cash, the boyfriend says: Ill give you a rise, but it has nothing to do with money. You get the idea. Creepiest of all is young Michael (Peter Bark) who, in between fighting zombies, decides to declare his true feelings for his mother by unbuttoning her blouse. Thankfully, he dies horribly in the next scene, but when he returns from the grave, its not to eat his mothers brains.
