An error has ocurred. Please try againI also noted which of the 3 main teams I reckon would've suited each movie best: Team 1: Joel/Trace Beaulieu/Kevin Murphy Team 2: Mike/Trace/Kevin Team 3: Mike/Bill Corbett/Kevin
(Team 1 is my favorite, no doubt. But I suspect if they had roasted, say, Space Mutiny, it wouldn't have been quite as perfect. Likewise, Team 3 probably wouldn't have nailed Master Ninja to the same degree. I can't explain it, it's just a feel thing.)
(In progress. Not adjusted for my own irrational '70s TV affection.)
(I also note the "best part" of each movie. I don't choose the most ironically funny part, but rather where the movie comes closest to un-ironic success. I do this because we can't know in most cases whether ironic badness was truly intentional, regardless of any claims after the fact.)

So bad it's...boring
I could have forgiven the listless performances, the amateurish production values (including some truly corny sound cues), locations obviously chosen because they were on a college campus or otherwise didn't require a license to film there, and even the absurd and half-baked premise on which the story is founded, but I can't forgive the fact that every opportunity to inject some degree of imagination or visual interest into the few-and-far-between horror scenes was utterly wasted. The best compliment I can give this film is that it doesn't feature a female ghost with long hair covering her face - though even a hackneyed visual like that might have livened things up, at least.
Also it felt like about 3/4 of the running time consisted of flat shots of a character slowly walking from Point A to Point B, or just staring blankly at things.
