12 Horror Movies That Are Unintentionally Hilarious
6. Sting Of Death (1965)
Heres the one youve been waiting for: a movie about a man-jellyfish hybrid who attacks bikinied starlets while Neil Sedaka sings Do The Jellyfish, a ska-tinged number that encourages the listener to Forget your Cinderella/ And do the jella/ The jilla jalla jella/ Its really kinda swella/ To do the jalla jellyfish. So enamoured of this finger-snapping froth are the cast that they fail to notice the hybrid has taken up residence in their pool, which comes as something of a surprise to the first drunken bimbo to dive in fully clothed. However, given the hilariously unconvincing costume, youd think itd be hard to miss. Wearing flippers, a wetsuit adorned with beads and an inflated trashbag over his head that gives him an uncomfortable resemblance to Family Guys Stewie Griffin, actor Doug Hobart whisks his victims away to polystyrene cave furnished with a fish tank, TV antennae and a machine with dials and flashing lights. Once inside, he proceeds to.well, lets not go there.
