The Most Ridiculous Horror Movie Bad Guys

April 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Look, man-eating beds can be terrifying. Just ask Johnny Depp, who was devoured by one in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. There's no reason not to fear a bed with a taste for blood. That being said, the murdering mattress at the center of Death Bed is just too goofy to really freak us out.

If convoluted backstories are your jam, this is the movie for you. It takes place from the perspective of a ghost trapped in the wall, watching a canopy bed infested with the soul of a demon who just wanted to seduce a young maiden, but now is forced to feed its hungry coil springs for eternity. Huh? Exactly.

How lame was this posturepedic killer? Well, despite the movie being made in 1977, it didn't get released until 2004. Apparently, the film's director, George Barry, simply forgot he'd made it, which is a reminder to stay off the drugs, kids. And stay off of Death Bed, no matter how sleepy you may get. Thankfully, the one person who didn't forget this movie was comedian Patton Oswalt. A nerd's nerd if there ever was one, Oswalt dedicated extensive time on his album Werewolves and Lollipops to giving this movie more notoriety than it had any right to receive.
