The whole point to "Trog" was its awfulness.  It's supposed to make you
laugh, not throw up, and sometimes it succeeds.  On the same note, a
more recent release, "Swamp Thing" accomplishes the same effect.

I remember seeing a movie I think was called "Schlock" that was
a more deliberate attempt at humor in the "bad monster movies"
genre.  Another called "Alligator" is one I can't quite figure out,
was it satire, or just unintentional humor?

Now, what I'd like to see is Woody Allen doing to "Godzilla" what
he did in "What's Up, Tiger Lily?"
