1. Mutant Chronicles (2008)

   Once upon a time, there was Mutant Chronicles Warzone and Chronopia, Target/Heartbreaker Games' mutosterone-boosted answer to Games Workshop's Warhammer Multiverse. So ultrapopular and beloved was the Nordic Necromutant Berzerker alternative, it spawned graphic novels and news of a Mutant Chronicles mopic by Pressman Films coming Summer 1997.

   That was 1996.

   FF>> to 2008 and the Mutant Chronicles movie was finally unleashed... but that mopic certainly was a pale shadow of the major movie it was going to be if you can tell from the disconcerting dearth of Big Enough Fraggin' Guns and Big Shoulderpads in the final bargain basement product.

   A world without Rifftrax'd Mutant Chronicles 2008 is a world I would rather not stick around on forever.

   Have faith.

8. She Shoulda Said ‘No’!

   (also known as Wild Weed; The Devil’s Weed; Marijuana, the Devil’s Weed; and The Story of Lila Leeds and Her Exposé of the Marijuana Racket) is a 1949 exploitation film that follows in the spirit of morality tales such as the 1936 films Reefer Madness and Marihuana. Directed by Sam Newfield (using the pseudonym “Sherman Scott”) and starring Lila Leeds, it was originally produced to capitalize on the arrest of Leeds and Robert Mitchum on a charge of marijuana conspiracy.

9. The Incubus (1981)

   John Cassavettes chews up the scenery while holding people's heads in his hands in this bizarre demonic thriller. There's lots of head holding for some reason when people are talking to each other. Some funny lines spoken seriously like when this woman tells of taking the child of a sacrificed witch and naming him...Tim! Red sperm is talked about, a lot. Wacked out on many levels!

12. Harryhausen's fairy tale adaptations

    Special effects legend Ray Harryhausen made Fairy Tale adaptation shorts and I wondered if you would riff them. They're Mother Goose Stories, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Story of King Midas, Hansel and Gretel, and the tortoise and the hare.

13. Creepy Clowns

    I was getting so mad about how bad the horror movies I was clicking on at Amazon Prime was going...I love bad movies. Been an MST3k fan since my single digit age.

    But this involves clowns and, like...A Talking Cat kind of bad.

    The "gore" is like, jello and the "nudity" kind of riffs itself.

15. The Gardener (aka Garden of Death, Seeds of Evil)

    What would you get if you crossed a David DeCouteau flick with an ineffective antagonist from 'This Island Earth,' and I don't mean those dudes with the raised foreheads?

    You'd get this bizarre flick from 1974, where even the video box art and description sounds far better than this train wreck.

    Basically, as the film begins with an obscure hospital scene (hey, still better than a monotonous driving scene, eh?), where some patient is given some ominous-looking flowers. Apparently by the way they film this, you might think the patient's going to get Poison Ivy'ed where the plant somehow devours her, or grows throughout her body.

    But no such luck. Instead she ends up dying of a cardiac arrest, or poisoned by spores, who knows?

    Next we hear music which makes about as much sense as Gamera the Invincible, where you wonder why the director would play upbeat tones at a funeral service? And we see the intro credits roll.

    In a nutshell, the spiel goes something like this: the two women, Ellen and Helena are discussing their friend's odd demise, then, for no apparent reason, talks about how fantastic her garden looks. No kidding, not about how strange this chick passed on due to some odd flowers into her room, but how marvelous her garden is.

    Of course, this is all to the thanks of Carl, who apparently, throughout the film, wears a long ponytail, and has an aversion to wearing shirts of any kind, while trouncing through the foliage he allegedly tends to, and apparently this is his ONLY role throughout the film. Seems the plants do all the work as they bloom wildly about Ellen's estate, after she hires him on.

    Of course, this is your average, protagonist remains absolutely clueless to the obvious, as her staff, her friends and husband attempt to tell Ellen something's a bit amiss with Carl's instant green thumb. Yet, it takes a stormy night, and a strangled cat (no kidding) to have it finally sink into her that Carl might be the illegitimate son of Pamela Isley. But not before making love to him in a lake.

    At this point the protagonist does a 180, and starts investigating Carl's past employers, while Helena begins feeling her oats, and wants Ellen to fire Carl, so she can hire him.

    Naturally the incomprehensible ending occurs with some wild tempest, to a point where we get the classic Strange Creatures ending, where you'll be whispering like Bill, 'seriously, what the hell was that?'

    But enough of that, here are the top 3 reasons why The Gardener should be Riffed:

    (1) Carl - Most ineffective antagonist of the film itself. No seriously, since all you really see of him is walking about topless throughout the garden, with establishing shots of the dangerous flowers. On occasion, he'll strike up a brief conversation with Ellen, if you want to consider the Barbarino-like responses 'conversation.'

    In short, if your expecting Carl to unleash Poison Ivy powers all over the place, forget it. Basically, we are to assume he can grow instant blooms which apparently can kill by... spores... or invisible gas... who knows?

    Heck, even Torgo had more lines and scenes in Manos... and that's saying something.

    (2) The really out-of-place incidental music. Not since Jack Frost, does the director make us wonder if The Gardener is supposed to be a horror film, or just a rejected rom-com pilot. Because most of the time we hear nothing but upbeat music, even when we see Carl's establishing shots, where you would expect more creepy tunes with a Theremin. And the only time we DO hear appropriate incidental music is when Ellen begins wising up and investigating. And speaking of Ellen...

    (3) The clueless protagonist: not even the Drugs Are Like That Kids could be as oblivious as Ellen. Sure, this was a classic trope in those 70 foreign horror films, but c'mon, throughout most of the film, she so amazed at how Carl can immediately produce beautiful flowers, it never really dawns on her, until that stormy night when she comes across the strangled cat, (Also what is up with cats being strangled by plants? What not have one OD'ed off of catnip instead?) Where her clueless personality suddenly switches to that of Jessica Fletcher and she starts adding up the fact Carl has been offing women with his flora, and tries rescuing her friend, with oddly disturbing and hilarious results.

    In the end, I believe Mike, Bill and Kevin (or even Bridget and Mary Jo) should riff this one, just for the fact this thing really seems more like a blue movie with a topless man running about a garden, than an actual horror film.

    What would you get if you crossed a David DeCouteau flick with an ineffective antagonist from 'This Island Earth,' and I don't mean those dudes with the raised foreheads?

    You'd get this bizarre flick from 1974, where even the video box art and description sounds far better than this train wreck.

16. Boardinghouse (1982)

    Boardinghouse is the story of Jim (writer-director John Wintergate), a psychic/gigolo/meditator in a leopard-print thong. Jim rents out a cursed house to “beautiful women with no ties” aka a never-ending supply of primo 80s ladiez. What follows are killings, lots of sex hijinks, and an amazing amount of weirdness: pie fights, a nightmare involving a severed pig’s head, Mattel synth blurps, awful fake British accents, an attacking refrigerator, suicide, and the gimmick of “Horror Vision,” which signals upcoming violence with a neon swirl and a silhouette of a black glove. Then, we have Jim’s intense psychic declarations (“FOCUS! WHITE LIGHT!”) while wearing a thong and sitting cross-legged.

17. Crack That Tank

    Have you ever wondered how to take out a tank from the World War II era? Do you have a dame in Brooklyn? Do you refer to setting other people ablaze with Molotov Cocktails as "buying them a drink"?

    Then brother, this short is for you!

    Marvel at the absolute awkwardness of an actor pretending to be... I don't know, maybe a mafioso that got drafted? He certainly talks more like someone from Goodfellas than Saving Private Ryan. Perhaps "swagger" is also a requirement for cracking open a tank.

    Except no tanks actually get cracked open in this short. But that's beside the point. Or maybe not. Who cares? It's a fun trip down the "murder alley" just adjacent to Nostalgia Lane!

    Please consider "Crack That Tank" for riffing. It's the patriotic thing to do.*

18. The Prototype: Mankind's Only Hope

    https://youtu.be/h_eW9Xb-1_E

    I just watched the trailer (link above) and thought this one would be right in your wheelhouse.

    After twenty years of hard work at odd jobs raising money to mostly self-fund his film, director Marcelo Grion has finally finished "The Prototype" but it could never be truly complete without the brilliant commentary that only Mike, Bill, and Kevin can give it.

19. Restoration, Inc.

    I was the gaffer for this film in 2016, and during production I couldn’t help but think of how perfect it would be for Rifftrax. My thoughts were cemented when it was finally released last year.

    No matter the synopsis, it’s basically The A-Team on a “z” budget. A team of criminals or otherwise misunderstood experts (read: The Hacker, The Chemist, The… Ventriloquist?) is amassed by a mysterious CIA rep to take down an international drug lord. Thrill! as the writer-producer cast herself in a main role! Chill! as the team fortifies themselves in an abandoned Mervyns! Spill! your lunch as you realize the crew had to take on roles because the budget wouldn’t allow for more “actors!” (I ultimately played a thief stealing a briefcase full of drugs… no wardrobe required (wink)).

    The final release is fairly enjoyable and entertaining, especially to those of us who revel in the unintentionally absurd. Not to mention that selfishly it would be a dream come true for something I’ve worked on to get the Rifftrax treatment.

    For anyone interested, it’s currently free on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/614143/restoration-inc?link-action=play&utm_source=google-feed&tracking=google-feed

    What do you think, sirs? (And madams, of course).
