time's
almost up welcome to watch mojo and
today we're counting down
our picks for the top 10 wtf horror
movie ideas
santa yes virginia there is a santa
claus
from hell did you hear the police radio
tomatoes between here and hopefully
we're liable to get killed for this list
we're looking at the wackiest
weirdest most insane premises for horror
films they're not necessarily bad
but how did they ever get approved since
we'll be delving into important plot
points here a spoiler alert is now in
effect
do you have any weird horror movie ideas
give us your creative gems in the
comments
number 10 deadly produce attack of the
killer tomatoes
across this great nation almost everyone
has been affected in one way or another
by this terrible tomato onslaught the
folks responsible for 1978's attack of
the killer tomatoes made no bones about
being in on the joke
this is full on parody mode the film
satirizes horror films and disaster
flicks and has a damn good time
all the way
there's nothing deep or subtle about the
idea behind attack of the killer
tomatoes
we're just dealing with anthropomorphic
produce that have gained sentience and
are out for blood
or is that ketchup the cast sells their
tomato deaths with straight faces
however and that just makes the
experience that much more of a blast
or make that a splat hey will somebody
please pass the ketchup number nine
wicked saint nick santa's sleigh santa
yes virginia there is a santa claus
the idea of a killer santa actually
dates back a long time with some stellar
examples being 1972's tales from the
crypt and 1984's silent
night deadly night the latter caused
public uproar and protest upon release
those movies showcase psychotically
damaged killers dressed as santa
[Applause]
[Music]
but 2005 santa's sleigh actually
featured the real deal on a rampage
played by pro wrestling icon bill
goldberg the film is a fun mixture of
horror and comedy that can be relatively
entertaining
but not everyone can get down with the
idea of such a wholesome christmas
personality going
ham around the holidays who's your daddy
[Music]
father christmas speaking of which can
we also interest you in a little film
called elves
wait hey where are you going i had a
rough day at work santa got murdered
number eight zoo animals are affected by
contaminated water
the wild beasts it's an earthquake
[Music]
wild beast is going to be our first
visit to italy during the course of this
list but trust us
it will not be the last this 1984 film
from director franco prosperi
possesses the bonkers premise of pcp
getting into the water supply of a local
zoo
with predictably over-the-top results
they're elephants
how'd they get here
[Music]
prosperi was already comfortable pushing
boundaries at this time
having co-helmed a series of
controversial documentary mondo films in
the 70s
such as goodbye uncle tom and africa
blood and guts
as such prosperi pushed working with
animals to the limits in this film which
featured painted rats
stampeding elephants and marauding
tigers all in all it's an exploitative
movie with a very dubious
premise
[Applause]
number seven short and monstrous rat men
speaking of movies with a questionable
moral compass we're going back to italy
again with ratman
this 1988 film co-starred nelson de la
rosa one of the shortest men
of the modern day dela rosa a native of
the dominican republic
actually appeared in some mainstream
movies such as the infamous
1996 remake of the island of dr moreau
alongside marlon brando ratman however
is pure exploitation
with nelson's size serving as the
deciding factor in casting him as a
mutant
rat monkey hybrid that's murdering folks
in the caribbean
this isn't to say that the film is
necessarily bad as de la rosa does give
his all as the titular ratman but today
the decision might be seen as in poor
[Music]
taste
number six a walrus man tusk
okay so the idea of creating a monster
from spare parts isn't exactly an
original one when it comes to the world
of horror then again when the end result
happens to be a walrus human hybrid
and the whole thing is written and
directed by kevin smith maybe you're on
to something
for some time now i've been
constructing a very realistic
walrus suit tusk has divided fans since
its release in 2014
but the finished product is certainly a
different take on the frankenstein
island of dr moreau type of storytelling
justin long is the unfortunate victim of
the psychotic howard howe
and his walrus fetish going all out for
the film's beastial climax
you will fight me mr walrus
or you will die sure johnny depp is
beyond annoying in the film
but hey you can't have everything this
man
is making a monster number five
a stop-motion twin that lives in a
basket basket case
[Music]
what's in the basket you ask trust us
when we say that you might actually not
want to know
basket case is a film filled with the
spirit of old new york the sort of flick
that thrived in the grimy grind houses
of times square
it also possesses a premise taylor made
for that era of exploitation and
ultra violence the story of conjoined
twins out for bloody revenge against the
doctors who separated them all those
years ago
what's in the basket
basket case is a romp that combines
charming old school effects
stop motion anyone with believable
sleaze the wild the basket monster comes
across as creepy and disgusting
yet pitiful at the same time oh my god
dwayne let me out let me out dwight let
me up
number four an evil elevator the lift
[Music]
the trailer for this 1983 dutch film
sums it up best with its memorable
tagline
take the stairs the lift is a cult
classic of sort that does exactly what
you think
present a normal everyday elevator as a
sentient machine
out for blood the thing is the lift well
actually sort of
works so live yourself the cast treats
the story with a nice balance of respect
and black humor the death scenes are
shot with style and suspense
and the film's killer electronic score
is something straight out of the john
carpenter mold it all just depends on
how much one can suspend their disbelief
and enjoy the lift for what it is
silly but good horror fun
number three bunnies from hell night of
the lepas
what caused the unnatural death
[Music]
sometimes all you need is a great
trailer night of the leapus presents
itself as the latest and greatest
monster disaster flick of the early 70s
a surefire way to deliver some animal
carnage the thing is
articular leapists are actually really
cute bunnies mutated to larger size and
killing lots of townsfolk
national guard alpha company reports the
rabbits are near four corners killing as
they come
but they're still cute bunnies
nonetheless this is a film that's
supremely of its time
a silly drive-in picture played
relatively straight by a surprising
number of hollywood heavyweights
including janet lee deforest kelly and
stuart whitman
in this respect it's tons of bloody fun
but don't go in expecting any legitimate
scares
rabbits as big and as ferocious as
wolves
it is inconceivable number two killer
vegetarian goblins
troll two
we're returning to italy one last time
for the much discussed and still totally
bonkers troll 2.
director claudio fragasso was no
stranger to going full
wtf such as the time he convinced shock
rocker alice cooper to star in his
werewolf film
monster dog and gave him an unconvincing
dub go wake up mary lou
make it quick troll 2 was something a
bit different as it was essentially
piggybacking upon the unrelated american
film troll
despite having nothing to do with that
film's plot or
trolls in general instead we get
vegetarian goblins who turn their
victims into plant matter and eat them
a crazy overacting witch and one of the
most overexposed
internet memes in history they're eating
her
and then they're going to eat me
oh my god
in other words it's the stuff of which
bad movie dreams are made of
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
thor vs beezlebub rock and roll
nightmare the band thor that is
still a weird idea this is your end
this place
[Music]

on a rampage
[Applause]
[Music]

number one shaman neck growth the
manitou
he will kill
you oh
and you think you're having a bad day
poor susan strasberg
suffers the ultimate wtf horror movie
plot device in the form of a malignant
tumor that seems to be growing on her
neck
but wait it's actually not a tumor it's
not a
tumor but a vengeful native american
shaman named miskwa makus
that's attempting rebirth the hard way
[Applause]
as if that premise wasn't strange enough
the manitou goes all
in with the weirdness from that point on
as the reborn misqua marcus
utilizes just about every tool at his
disposal to take his revenge
from lizard illusions to space battles
with force lightning
the manitou's psychedelic 70s horror at
its most bananas
it's really crazy
yeah it's crazy do you agree with our
picks
