Quality horror films are great and all, but there's something to be said for the pure, unadulterated fun that can come from viewing a fantastically terrible B movie. B movies within the horror genre offer a moderate amount of fright along with heaps of laughs. Seriously, get a group of friends together and try to not laugh at a farting mummy, or a literally non-existent antagonist. 

We’ve taken to Reddit to put together a list of all the best worst horror movies ever put to film. What are you waiting for? Invite all of your friends over and enjoy a night of hilariously human-eating beds and murderous tomatoes.

“Absurdly generic slasher/monster film where the antagonist of the film is literally nothing. Like, people might disappear when you're not looking at them kind of stuff. It's just an excuse to make one of these movies without any special effects and features set-pieces like someone bends down behind a table to pick something up and they never stand back up again. GASP Gone forever!” - Peanlocket
