Corny horror films were all the rage at one point since they were something fun to watch and were fairly easy to make for the film makers. But they were awful, let’s not sugarcoat it and pretend they weren’t. By today’s standards they were bottom of the barrel, but back when they came out they were fun.
Like the film above for instance. City of the Living Dead is basically about an undead priest that comes back to life and starts terrorizing the city of Dunwich as the dead begin to rise and the living are forced to discover what’s going on before it’s too late.
This is why you shouldn’t make fun of the awkward folks. Kathy is a high school student that got made fun of one too many times.

A newlywed couple must overcome a gruesome spirit that is attempting to convince the woman that she must kill her husband. This is definitely not for those with weak stomachs.

When Paul’s dream girl is placed into a coma he uses an interface from his former robotic friend to bring her back to life. The only problem is that she’s no longer as friendly as she used to be.
When their cruise ship is struck and sank by an unknown ghostly vessel the crew must make their way aboard the derelict boat. The only problem is that this is exactly what the ghost ship’s undead crew wanted.
