Really bad." - Mark Leeper I protest. I have neither nominated nor seconded anything for the list. As I have said many times in the past, the REALLY bad films never get a release and are seen by only a handful of people. I have mentioned each of the films above, but neither as nominations nor as seconding. Someone mentioned some Azalea films so I gave some information about them. Someone referred to THE MOLD FROM OUTER SPACE, I said that the actual title was MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE. I mentioned SPACE MONSTER because it really was a not very good film, but not the one that the poster (Madden?) was referring to. I can think of worse films than some of the above. FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE is worse than some of the above, so is KING DINOSAUR, or for that matter, PLANET OF THE DINOSAURS. How about CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE or ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES? A few months ago when a similar discussion came up I claimed the worst *I had seen* was either CREEPING TERROR or THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN. Then there is an incredible array of Mexican and Filipine films. At that time very few people had ever heard of them, it seemed. At least this time around CREEPING TERROR got some discussion. In any case, I don't see a lot of point in looking for bad films. Good films, yes. But not bad films. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!mtgzz!leeper
