My Favorite Turkeys with Low IMDb Ratings
I have a love of the cinema of the absurd that has been tempered on the forge of over a decade of Zombie_CPA's November Horror Turkey Challenges. These are my favorites, the ones I come back to again and again. The list is an ongoing labor of love, with my Top Turkeys listed first and the others in alphabetical order. Everything on this list was rated under 5.0 on the IMDb when I added it.
