12 Horror Movies That Are Unintentionally Hilarious

3. Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977)

Less a movie than one outrageous set piece after another, this would-be art film tells the story of a demon who somehow transformed into a four-poster bed capable of eating human beings by sucking them inside and digesting them with flesh-stripping gastric juices. After each €œmeal€, the bed spits out the bones and belches loudly. Got that? There€™s more: the movie is narrated by one of the bed€™s first victims, who is now stuck in limbo behind a painting on the wall, forced to listen to the bed snoring and feasting for the rest of eternity. We also learn what the bed is €˜thinking€™ €“ whenever a potential victim appears, we hear excited heavy breathing on the soundtrack. The victims are hippy chicks and stoner dudes who think nothing of sleeping in a bed stored in a stone crypt in the middle of nowhere, little realising that this one has super powers €“ it can open/close doors, light fires and even manages to decapitate one unfortunate with the gold chain around her neck. Strangely, writer/director George Barry never made another movie.
