Worst Movie Titles

1. The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1963)

Not only is one of the worst titles ever, but a truly cinematic endurance test. Billed as the first "monster musical," it was awarded the first place in Medved's "50 Worst Movies Ever Made." 

2. Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966)

In this low-budget western/horror hybrid movie filmed in 1966, fictionalized version of the real-life western outlaw Jesse James encounters the fictional granddaughter (the movie's title notwithstanding) of the famous Dr. Frankenstein. John Lupton, who plays the part of Jesse James, is actually a bit too old for the role. When the film was made, Lupton was already 38 years old. The real-life Jesse James died before his 35th birthday. 

3. Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? (1969)

 A 1969 musical film directed by and starring Anthony Newley, this is a comedy that's been forgotten except for its mind-boggling title

4. The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966)

the seventh (and last) of the AIP's beach party films. Only nominally a beach movie as the entire film takes place in and around a haunted house with no beach in sight. Instead, the teenage gang cavorts and plays music around a swimming pool.  

5. Sssssss (1973)

horror film starring Dirk Benedict and Heather Menzies. The film has developed a small cult reputation and is acclaimed by many horror fans as one of the better man-becomes-creature films out there.

6. Rat Pfink a Boo Boo (1966)

Why the title is "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" and not the more logical "Rat Pfink and Boo Boo"? According to legend, that was indeed the intended title, but when the artist creating the titles made an error and rendered the "and" as "a", Steckler's budget would not stretch to the $50 needed to fix the mistake. According to Steckler, however, the choice of title was deliberate: "The real story is that my little girl, when we were shooting this one fight scene, kept chanting, 'Rat pfink a boo boo, rat pfink a boo boo ....' And that sounded great! But when I tell people the real story, they don't wanna hear it, so you better print the legend."

7.  I Dismember Mama (1974)

Also known as "Crazed and Poor Albert and Little Annie" (not any better!), this 1974 horror film tells the story of Albert, a man who has tried to kill his rich snobbish mother once, for which he was institutionalized. Now, he's escaped, and is after his mother once again.

8.  To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)

Features Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo as three New York drag queens who embark on a road trip . The film's title refers to an autographed photo of Julie Newmar that the trio carries with them on their journey. Such a great cast wasted.
