Line 94:
* The title character from ''[[Robot Monster]]'' (pictured above) was a guy in a gorilla suit. And a diver's helmet.
* Ironically, it was the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' commentary for ''The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies?!'' - which definitely ''definitely'' fits here—was one of the earliest uses of the term "[Nightmare Fuel"—the earliest being ''Santa Claus'', which actually ''was'' pretty scary, but not in the intended scenes.
* In ''[[The Happening]]'' is a critically panned film that has gained something of a cult following due to how utterly hilarious it is; unfortunately, the director had intended it as completely serious horror thriller. The monsters are... trees. Right, not the kind that move either, these are plain old trees with a malevolent intelligence who compel humans to kill themselves. About as scary as a field of dandelions.
* In ''Attack of the Prehistoric Women'', the women at one point need to defend themselves from a ferocious dinosaur, [[Slurpasaur|played by a superimposed iguana]].
** This was ''very'' common in prehistoric movies from the 70s and earlier.
