Syfy Channel- you try too hard sometimes.  By that, I don't mean that you're trying too hard on your special effects, casting and overall production values.  No, I mean that you're trying to hard with the goofy premises of your films!  This Channel airs films with the goofiest premises imaginable.  You will see a giant worm in Asia!  You will see a CG trooper in WWII!  You will see Ireland single-handedly jump-start the apocalypse! If you want to know more, read on...

*Just to note- I'm not including The Asylum stuff (for obvious reasons) and Sharktopus (just because).  This is to spotlight those that you may not have seen/remember.*

12. Chupacabra- Dark Seas:  It's on a boat!  This film combines a weird monster (the infamous Chupacabra) and a strange location (a cruise ship).  You couldn't set it in a village or some sort of Area 51-esque warehouse?  It's not a terrible film (the monster is a suit, so it's a plus for me), but it's an odd one.

11. Mongolian Death Worms/Sand Serpents: They can kill you, even without spines!  This pair of films features giant, killer worms.  One of them features them in Asia and the other one, um, doesn't.  The main difference is that one of them is from the 'Tremors school of horror' (Serpents), while the other is from the 'Them! school of horror.'  Pick your poison, folks!

10. Rock Monster/Frost Giant: It's a two-for-one with vague, random monsters.  In the first film, an ancient creature made out of rocks emerges to kill people.  In the second film, an ancient creature made out of ice emerges to kill people.  Okay, so they're kind of the same movie.  One of them has Dean Cain though.  Point for Frost Giant, I guess.

9. S.S. Doomtrooper: Damn you, Nazi CG experts!  This goofy film involves a group of Allied soldiers battling a Nazi experiment gone awry.  That experiment- a giant, CG man with a machine gun hand.  Well, at least Neil Young would approve.  Just to note: WWII and Sci-Fi Channel films don't mix.  Case in point: Warbirds (my #13 entry, if I had one).

8. Manticore/Aztec Rex: A movie so nice that they made it twice (but switched the Eras).  In Manticore, evil Iraqis summon the ancient creature to kill the American soldiers.  In Aztec Rex, the Aztec people summon a T-Rex to kill the Spanish soldiers.  Ha ha ha- repetition.

7. High Plains Invaders: Stop me if you've heard this one!  In the film, a bunch of aliens show up in an Old West town.  Why?  Because their ships were running low on power and need plutonium to power them.  Of course- I knew it!  As a bonus, it features that British guy from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer who's actually from California.  Shhh, it's a secret.

6. Ba'al- The Storm God: Movie ex machina?  This film involves the ancient Sumerian God Ba'al coming to life on causing a bunch of storms.  You know what, I think that I'll just stop there.

5. Ice Spiders: Are you kidding me?  This odd little film features a group of genetically-engineered (duh!) spiders that go on a rampage in a ski resort.  Don't you dare snow fear!  Seriously, what the hell?!?  Speaking of which...

4. Monster Ark: You made a film involving monsters, a demon and Noah?  This film stars the lead guy (not the young one) from White Collar and 'Gabrielle' from Xena.  Even after starring in 2010: Moby Dick, I think that she still keeps this off of her resume.

3. Stonehenge Apocalypse: This one speaks for itself, doesn't it?  The title is the biggest joke of all.  The actual film- kind of dull.  Kudos for the Mad Libs style title though.

2. Triassic Attack: Who needs skin and muscle tissue?  In this silly Syfy Channel film, a bunch of dinosaur skeletons start running around and killing people.  I have so many questions.  How do they move?  How do they see?  How do they smell?  To quote Monty Python- 'not very well!'  Touche, stock footage of Hitler!

1. Iron Invader: Try to suspend your disbelief here- if you can!  A guy in a small town makes a giant, metal statue of a man for...um, something.  Next, a random meteorite crashes in the fields.  A pair of guys sell a chunk of the meteorite to the guy making the statue.  He puts it on the thing, bringing the giant, metal statue to life.  Well yeah, what else were you planning to do with the giant, metal statue?

Up next, with the arrival of Scream 4, I think that it's time to look at something different.  Let's check out the Top 12 Horror Films WITHOUT Sequels.  Stay tuned...
