Weird Movie Titles

There are a lot of weird movie titles lurking out there. In many cases, you just have to wonder who in the hell the filmmakers were marketing their project to? Of course, some movie titles are stranger than others, and that’s the purpose of this article. I wanted to find the most bizarre and/or ridiculous movie titles and compile them for your convenience. If you ever decide to make a feature film, these should serve as a handy reminder of what not to do when picking a name. And if you come across any weird movie titles that aren’t included–but you feel deserve special recognition–be sure to let us know in the comments section.

  • The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies – Oh, boy, there’s nothing more frightening that mixed-up zombies…except perhaps confused vampires, or indecisive werewolves, or Paris Hilton’s vagina.
  • Attack of the Killer Tomatoes – A fun B-movie spoof with a very weird title. Can you think of anything more benign than a tomato? I can’t. Okay, maybe the bloodsuckers from Twilight, but that’s about it.

  • Mexican Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy – This one gets me turned on for some reason. Probably because I’m imagining Michelle Rodriguez is a lucha libre outfit.
  • Why We Had to Kill Bitch – It’s a comedy. Until I looked it up, I figured it had something to do with chainsaws and white trash hillbillies terrorizing tourists.
  • Herbie: Fully Loaded – The title makes it sound like Herbie is either (a) drunk as a sonufabitch, or (b) armed to the grill with weapons of destruction.
  • Hitler Meets Christ – Admit it: You’d love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting. If moneylenders got under the Lamb of God’s skin, just imagine what he’d do to the world’s most evil Moe Howard look-alike.
  • I Was a Zombie for the F.B.I. – I had no idea that the FBI had lowered their standards so much.
  • The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing – Cat Dancing is actually the name of a Native American character, not the latest dance craze popularized by star Burt Reynolds (although that would be pretty cool, too).

  • Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? – The film also stars a character named Polyester Poontang (played by Joan Collins). Sounds to me like Hieronymus has already found true happiness.
  • Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid – From the makers of Husky Gals on a Rampage.
  • Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula – The only thing that would make this film better would be Emilio Estevez in the Billy the Kid role.
  • Freddy Got Fingered – Almost universally loathed, this Tom Green film includes a bizarre cartoon about centaurs, a horny girl in a wheelchair, and the sing-song mantra “Daddy, would you like some sausage. Danny, would you like some saus-a-ges?” Still, the title should’ve weeded out at least some of the folks unprepared for Green’s bizarre sense of humor.
  • Don’t Be a Menace to South Central while Drinking Your Juice in the Hood – It’s a spoof from the Wayans brothers. ‘Nuff said.
  • Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3 – Wow. Someone sure thought they were being clever.
  • Tom Thumb – Child of Satan – Never trust someone the size of your thumb. Never.
  • Guess what Happened to Count Dracula? – How many guesses do I get, and what kind of prize is involved?

  • Hell Comes to Frogtown – A great name, actually, but it certainly falls into the category of weird movie titles.
  • The Man Who Slept – Is this describing the film or the reaction of some guy in the audience? The sequel was called The Man Who Left Halfway Through the Movie.
  • Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feeling So Sad – Wasn’t this a hit for Kenny Rogers?
  • A Vagina for Christmas – I think someone’s been peeking at my holiday wish list. I’ll also accept gift cards for the local gentlemen’s club.
  • The Idiot of the Mountains – Sounds like the film was named after the same guy who came up with the title.
  • Gore-met, the Zombie Chef From Hell – Somehow, I doubt he’s as perky as Rachel Ray.

  • Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood – It was based on a popular novel, but anyone not familiar with that work would probably envision a bunch of lesbians meeting for a moonlight daisy chain. After looking at the above picture, I’m wondering if they’re too far off.
  • Lord of the G-Strings – I don’t know if it’s a porno or not, but there’s only one way to find out.
  • The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain – I don’t know what this Hugh Grant film is about, but I’m guessing it has something to do with really ugly prostitutes.
  • Who Is Harry Kellerman And Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? – Who are you and why are you asking me questions about some guy I don’t even know? Stay away from me. Hey, put that knife away.
  • To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar – The title makes sense within the context of the film, but anyone who hasn’t already seen it will be left scratching their head in confusion. For that matter, anyone under 35 will be left wondering, “Who in the hell is Julie Newmar?”.

  • Help! – I don’t know if it’s a good idea to name a film the same thing people yell when being raped or beaten with a stick.
  • Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla – So who got top billing? After doing a little reading, I found that a 10-year-old came up with the title. It shows.
  • Hawmps! – Shit!

That concludes our list of weird movie titles. Rest assured, as long as motion pictures are being made, this list will continue to grow. Check back often, as we may release another edition of weird movie titles in the future.

In the meantime, take a look at these whacked-out articles from Odd Films:

  1. I am trying to find the name of a very weird movie I saw on tv late one night some years ago about frogs, very many of them that seemed to inhabit the base of a tower & in the top of the tower were modules like gods representing aspects of ecomomy & other influences that dive life. The title had frogs in it & was something like The day/ night the frogs came out (perhaps) probably one of the strangest film I have ever seen.
