Daniel Boyer is list writer for Collider who primarily focus on films and television shows related to the Action, Horror, and science fiction genres.

The horror genre is home to some of the most iconic so-bad-they're-good movies ever made. These unique cinematic duds pack all the laughs and none of the scares, striking a perfect balance between camp and humor and making them impossible not to enjoy. While countless laughably bad horror flicks have been scattered throughout the decade, at no time were they more frequent than in the 1980s.

Spookies is a fun story with some decent make-up designs and remarkable creatures that still look impressive today. With its highly absurd premise, enjoyable characters, and hilariously bizarre visuals, is it any wonder why Return of the Killer Tomatoes is still memorable after all these years? It's a glorious parody of the monster attack genre, poking fun at the ridiculousness of the concept and running with the joke.

There is much to appreciate about this absolute marvel of so-bad-it's-good cinematic entertainment. Basket Case is a terrible horror film that's still hard not to appreciate. The abysmal dialog, mediocre performances, and infamously bad special effects have led to the film's significant cult following over the years. It spawned two equally enjoyable sequels that somehow managed to outshine this film's absurdity.

3 'Redneck Zombies' Directed by Pericles Lewnes Released direct-to-video in 1987 by Troma Entertainment, Redneck Zombies is an extremely gory and outlandish zombie comedy that certainly delivers on its bizarre premise. Set in a rural farming community in the US, it follows a vacationing group of city folk as they try to survive a deadly outbreak after toxic waste is accidentally exposed to the local population, turning them into flesh-craving, murderous cannabis.
