My Personal Top Three So Bad They're Good Movie Monsters Of 1990s B-Movies

4/2/2015

10 Comments

 
Finally we've reached the last decade of the list, as by the 2000s anyone could chuck together an awful movie monster using CGI. So here we are in the 90s, as even then CGI was becoming more common and movie monster were thin on the ground. But don't worry, I have some personal favourites that run from gob-smackingly bad, to so annoying you want to smack it, via weirdly sexy. I'll leave it to you to decide which is which.

#1. The goblins... And oddly not trolls... In the king of bad movies Troll 2 (1990)
There's so much to say about the movie Troll 2, that it would take up a whole page of its own. However those "goblins", what were they about? "Designed" (loosely used) by porn actress Laura Gemser, more well known for a slew of "black" Emanuelle movies in the 1970s. The costumes were no more than burlap sacks, and dime store Halloween masks.That's it! Look at them, they're awful beyond belief. But some how their true awfulness was lost among the rest of the hideousness of the movie. 
#2. Monster Julie, the sexy zombie in Return Of The Living Dead 3 (1993).
"Monster Julie" isn't an official name for the zombified character of Julie Walker in the movie. No, it's just the name my little lad used to give her whenever he asked me to rent the movie from the video store. At 4 years old, it was his favourite movie. Julie was hot, before and after she breaks her neck in a motorcycle accident and is turned into a zombie by her boyfriend. Surely the first zombie sex fetish movie monster.

#3. The Leprechaun in you guessed it, Leprechaun (1993). Or is it Leprechaun 2? Or 3? 
It could be the first time I've wanted to slap someone the size of a child, but Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun makes me want. The star of Willow and an Ewok in Empire Strikes Back, is just annoying. Not scary, not creepy, just so annoying you want to shout at the screen for him to stop. So what did they do? They made two more bloody movies in 1994 and 1995. And thankfully this list stops at the 90s, so we don't have to endure number 4, and In The Hood, and Back 2 Tha Hood!!!
See the top three movie monster list from the other decades... 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Another great list! Return of the living dead 3 is a classic. A change of pace for the series that really worked. It's fitting that Troll 2 made your number one. And the Leprechaun series fits in nicely with the rest of the post 2000's slashers with it's cheesy humor and creative kills. You truly know how to pick them!

Why thank you very much. Your comment rubs my ego slightly, and makes the effort all worthwhile. ;)
