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. The former is one of the worst titles for a horror movie we’ve come across in the past 10 years, inspiring hearty laughter in the theaters in which the previewed screened and some pretty great parodies, while the xXx sequel sounds like less of a spy movie and more like something you’d find on a crusty rack behind the velvet curtain at the video store.

So, we got to thinking: What are some of the worst movie titles we’ve ever come across?

Find out more after the jump.

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot

It’s hard to imagine the nadir of both Sly Stallone’s and Estelle Getty’s careers being the same movie, but Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot has no regard for your petty sanity. Here’s the plot: A tough cop’s mom is in danger, and she’ll shoot your ass if you cross her. Yep. I mean, what did you really expect from a movie title with an exclamation point in the middle of it? 1992 was one hell of a year, and it’s hard not to feel bad for anyone involved in this movie, or anybody who saw this movie. Stallone himself has said that this is the worst movie he’s ever been in, and offered up this dope quote about it to Ain’t It Cool News: “In some countries — China, I believe — running Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot once a week on government television has lowered the birth rate to zero. If they ran it twice a week, I believe in 20 years China would be extinct.”
