Night of the Ghouls
You did such a great job with Plan 9 that you should really tackle this Ed Wood gem. :-)
You want reasons?! How about Tor Johnson? How about that wacky seance scene?! This film is just crying out to be riffed!

Dark Shadows (2012)
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton teamed up to adapt the TV series that inspired their careers. The original series was captivating in the BEST and WORST senses of the word. The wild imagination in the ongoing storytelling was amazing. The production value and bloopers (it was live-to-tape and aired daily after all) made it 'enjoyable' on a completely different level. Somehow, while attempting to embrace the kitsch, Burton and Depp managed to make a product that caused more second-hand blushing than the original series.

Dark Star (1974)

As their mission nears completion, they must cope with a runaway alien which resembles a beach-ball, faulty computer systems, and a "smart bomb" who thinks it is God."

Bats (1999)
o call this a 'horror movie' is a slap in the face to horror movies. The only thing scary is the crappy dialogue and the even crappier acting.
Set in a rural Texas town, this 1999 flick stars Dina Meyer (Birds of Prey, Baywatch, Starship Troopers) as a Chiropterologist (Bat scientist) who must stop a swarm of killer bats from killing everyone.
This may sound like a rip off of the Man v. Monster episode "Killer Bat." Luckily it isn't so Richard Terry doesn't show his stupid mug.
Full of crappy effects, cheesy dialogue, and ridiculous characters, This would be…

Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter (1974)
If you thought TWILIGHT had you scratching your head over 'sparkling' vampires, this film will make you wonder WHAT kind of vampires Captain Kronos is pursuing.
The best way to explain is to get into the film itself. Starts off with two girls in the woods chasing one another (oh, yes, like that's REAL safe..) and one goes off alone deeper into the woods. Enter the ominous-looking, cloaked figure. Next comes the bizarre director's choice of having the camera showing us the perspective of the figure.
At first the girl recoils in fear, then suddenly smiles (as if the 'vampire'…

The Christmas Martian
"The Christmas Martian" is a 1971 French Canadian kid's movie that aired on CBC every Christmas in the 70s and 80s. It's delightfully creepy by today's standards, and dubbed into English, which is always a plus. It has no official DVD release, but you can find it on Youtube. It only clocks in at an hour, which would make it perfect to combine with some Christmas shorts for a live performance, or VOD release.

Zombie (1979)
RiffTrax does not have enough zombie films under their belt. And no, old Bella Lugosi films do not count. So lets change that with Zombie (1979). Not to be confused with George A. Romero's classic, Dawn of the Dead, which was also called Zombie in Italy and released the year before. Coincidence?
Back before zombies were mainstream, there was Lucio Fulci. Defiantly not the greatest director in the world. But who doesn't enjoy a good splatter fest, eh? Anyways, his definitive zombie film (Zombie, or Zombie 2, guess they had trouble counting) still holds up to 90% of zombie movies…

Dracula 3000
It's basically Bram Stoker's Dracula...in spaaaaaaaaace. Except they completely discard the original storyline, the acting is horrible, and the special effects are appalling. We watched the whole thing only because we kept saying to ourselves "it has to get better". Yet somehow, it only got worst. The ending is the best, it's like the writers said "screw it, we're done with this. Just blow it all up!"
P.S. Casper Van Dien's plays (a descendent of) Van Helsing!

Quest For the Mighty Sword
The last of the Ator movies. Featuring Little John from the Mel Brooks Robin Hood movie as a teenage Ator. No. Really.

Double Trouble
Did Roddy McDowall ever say no to a movie? In Double Trouble features the Barbarian Brothers, twin body builders Peter & David Paul. They are joined by a soup of V actors including Billy Mumy, David Carradine, James Doohan, and McDowall. The muscle bound odd couple film is ripe for riffing with classic 90's dialogue. Oh and mullets. Oh god, the mullets.

Earth Girls Are Easy
Three aliens crash their ship while watching porn. They land in a pool of a woman who is unable to think well. She thought having a makeover would make the doctor she's with love her more. Instead she comes home and he's in the middle of being "Dr. Love." Is "Love" really creative, really? They need the pool drained to fix the ship. She goes swimming while it's being drained, and the excuse is because "the water feels kind of murky." After that it is a series of awkward scenes. We learn that the aliens can manipulate the mind and…

The Octagon
Really, the first line of the Netflix description says it all: "Terrorist ninjas have been wreaking havoc on a wealthy woman named Justine, so she hires former karate champion Scott James (Chuck Norris) to be her bodyguard." Chuck Norris deadpans his way across the world, constantly hearing an irritatingly echoey inner voice and responding to help-wanted ads from mercenaries.
