01
Brain Damage
Why this pick
Henenlotter's similarly grubby, darkly comic New York body-horror turns an outrageous creature premise into a gleefully tasteless cult ride.

02
The Man with Two Brains
Why this pick
Its absurd medical experimentation, broad physical comedy, and proudly cartoonish gross-out sensibility align with Basket Case's affectionate B-movie excess.
03
Frankenhooker
Why this pick
Another deliriously sleazy Henenlotter exploitation comedy, mixing lurid practical effects, New York grime, and a knowingly ridiculous revenge-tinged premise.
04
Re-Animator
Why this pick
Offers the same manic blend of mad medicine, splattery practical effects, pitch-black jokes, and escalating midnight-movie energy.
05
Street Trash
Why this pick
A filthy, anarchic splatter comedy with exaggerated practical effects and disreputable street-level characters, made for Basket Case's cult-exploitation wavelength.
