12 Horror Movies That Are Unintentionally Hilarious

7. Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster (1965)

A Lily Munster-ish Martian princess and her bald, pointy-eared servant are seeking to repopulate their dying world, so they do what any Bad Movie Villain would €“ they kidnap bikinied €˜specimens€™ from the beaches of San Juan and lock less-than-willing abductees up in a cage with a bad actor in a gorilla suit. Meanwhile, our would-be Frankenstein, in this case a NASA scientist played by James Karen, has created a cyborg (named Colonel Saunders) and shot him into space only to see his rocket destroyed by the Martians, who think it€™s an enemy missile. Surviving the stock-footage explosion with only third-degree burns, the Colonel malfunctions and goes on a lusty rampage, pursued (on scooter) by Dr Karen. Sure, it€™s cheap, silly and loaded with enough stock-footage to make Ed Wood proud, but at least some of the laughs must€™ve been intentional because producer Alan V Iselin€™s resume also includes The Horror Of Party Beach. Here, the beach antics have been toned down, the number of pop songs reduced and there€™s more going on whenever the antagonists are off-screen.
