>> >> My vote for worst SF movie is "Horror of Party Beach." >> >> Cheryl Nemeth I agree. Lesson learned from this flick was that chunks of sodium thrown at radioactive slime monsters will zap them. One evening, on a late night that I still recall with masochistic thrill, I sat through this, followed by Susanne Somers in "Zuma Beach". Arguably, two of the worst movies ever made.

> >> My vote for worst SF movie is "Horror of Party Beach." > "Zuma Beach". (with Miss Somers) *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH a small yak *** Ok choices, but the all time worst must be: "Plan Nine From Outer Space" : Bela Lugosi dies during filming, he is replaced by a man 1/2 foot taller who constantly keeps a cape in front of his face. "The Creeping Terror" : Narrator: "John wondered what was in the space ship." John: "I wonder what's in this space ship." "Glen or Glenda" : Bela again, in a touching, shocking, revealing look at transvestites. There are, of course, others. But these are the best,..er.. worst, ...er..

I think the worst SF film ever made was "Sins of the Fleshapoids". I thik it suffices to say that one of the lead roles was played by a vacuum cleaner. The crowd at the UC theatre (in Berkeley), which will watch almost anything, got to see this between 'A Boy and his Dog' and "Barbarella". It hadn't been playing more than about 3 minutes when people started screaming at the projectionist to turn it off.

I'm surprised that no one nominated Dune. Most of the low-budget SF films
are so atrocious that they at least provide some amusement, of the camp,
its-so-bad-its-funny variety, whereas Dune was too boring to be funny.
If not THE worst SF movie ever made, it has to rank as worst in terms of
entertainment value per dollar spent ratio.
