Oh The Horror: In honor of ‘The Bye Bye Man’, here are the worst-named films in movie history

Two movies with some of the stupidest titles ever are hitting theaters this month: Horror flick The Bye Bye Man, which lands today for Friday the 13th, and Vin Diesel’s bicep-showcase xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, which hits next week.
