The success of Mystery Science Theater 3000 was proof that there is definitely an audience for really bad cinema. We're talking movies that are hideously bad. MST3K took the fun to new levels with their format of sitting in a theater and making fun of the films while watching them. Before MST, there were a bunch of regional "bad cinema cut-up" shows around the U.S. Most of them are long gone. As far as I know, only 'Svengoolie' remains. Svengoolie began in Chicago around 1970.

The late comedian Gilbert Gottfried had a hilarious show on the old USA cable network. "Up All Night" aired for several years. It featured horrible cult classics and D movies. Gottfried provided hilarious commentary. One of my favorite comments he made was "Scenes that make absolutely no sense are always good!" Another one was "Why, and more importantly, how, did this movie ever get made?"

For your consideration, three magnificently awful films:

First up is "Red Zone Cuba", made in 1966. Critics were puzzled that veteran character actor John Carradine appeared in the film's opening, and even more puzzled that he recorded this crazy song! The song "Night Train to Mundo Fine" comes in at 2:45.




'The Giant Claw' is a masterpiece of bad cinema:


'Hobgoblins'... every scene, nay, every second of this movie is awful:


Bonus: The coat hanger scene from 'Birdemic':




Yes , bad cinema is awesome.
