Hi all A new idea for a thread. Horror icons of the silver screen in truly cringeworthy roles that will haunt them until the day they die...and beyond. First up: Donald Pleasance. Who can think of John Carpenter's Halloween without him? Not to mention the terrifying 'Dark and Lonely Water' PIF from the 70s (Sensible children...I have no power over them. I'LL BE BACKKKKK...) May I humbly offer this pile of festering, skidmarked pants: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMJaSK3Tv3cInterestingly, he's the only one who pronounces the name of the superhero correctly. To everyone else...The POOmerman!

You can't have such a thread without mentioning Lugosi's performance in Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Of course he made a lots of films from the Poverty Row studios in his later years, but contrary to popular belief, I enjoy those.
Plan 9... that's a whole other level. He died while making it, after all. ;D

I think anyone thats in a Uwe Boll movie should be shot, he's had som pretty big people in his films e.g. Christian Slater, Michael Madson. And all his films are pish as well!

Wrong wrong wrong.
Uwe Boll is legend. He's a master.
If you're into horror cinema hard core than "movies so bad they're good" is a common refrain. There are many directors known for it, such as Bruno Mattei (see Hell of the Living Dead!) and/or Luigi Batzella (Beast in Heat). Awful films in every way, and pure cinematic gold. Beast in Heat is a personal favorite of mine, certainly in my top ten films of all time.
Boll is a modern equivalent, but without the distance of time (and the controversy garnered nearly 40 years ago by the earlier films) Boll gets bashed instead of getting praised.
I love his work - he's genious.

Okay..Im not as savvy with the links or knowledge..but I can say..any actor/actress that was in the movie Soul Survivors..
Also the movie Dracula 3000 had to be a low point for Casper Van Diem (not that he has many high points).
Will think up some more.
