Gallery: Wildest Exploitation Movies, as Picked by You
012000maniacs
'Tis the season to be gory, as modern exploitation movies like the remade [I Spit on Your Grave](http://www.ispitonyourgravemovie.com/) and the unrated *[Hatchet II](http://www.hatchet2.com/)* hit the cineplex during the annual run-up to Halloween mayhem. Honoring the genre last month, Wired.com rounded up our favorite classic B movies and invited readers to reveal their favorites. The result? An avalanche of more than 100 titles, ranging from obscure goof-fests like [Evil Bong](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Bong) and [Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead](http://www.poultrygeistmovie.com/) to genre classics The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blacula and Night of the Living Dead. Here's a sampling of the freakiest exploitation films ever, as picked by you. __Above:__ Two Thousand Maniacs! --------------------- The best exploitation flick of all time, without a doubt, has to be [Two Thousand Maniacs!](wikipedia 2000 Maniacs), directed by the great Herschell Gordon Lewis, the "Godfather of Gore." *—fstrjon* I can remember my mom taking me to see *Two Thousand Maniacs!* I have only seen it one time, so I'd love to see it again. *—jamesallan*
02blacula
Blacula ------- [Blacula](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacula) is easily the best exploitation flick of all time. *—jkershen* I have to vote for *Blacula*. So bad it's bad. I get a laugh just looking at the movie poster. Blacula looks like he's trying to be one of the Clones of Dr. Funkenstein. *—firstfret* Another vote for Blacula! Ghetto cinema at its *finest*! *—leandrew* Blacula is off the hook. *—Cokeman*
03death-race
Death Race 2000 --------------- [Death Race 2000](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Race_2000), the 1975 original, is my favorite cult classic. It has David Carradine and young Sylvester Stallone, there is gratuitous violence and some nudity and '70s-style political stuff about sticking it up to the man. *—JJKM* I love Coffy but I think I have to go with Death Race 2000. *—impetus* Shout-out to my favorite movie, Death Race 2000! *—erick7071* Absolutely the best: Death Race 2000. *—Dr\_Strangelove*
04bloodsuckingfreaks
Bloodsucking Freaks ------------------- I would have to throw into the mix Bloodsucking Freaks and Street Trash. *—Trotsky*
05evilbong
Evil Bong --------- I gotta go with Evil Bong — it has a special cameo by the Gingerdead Man! *—DrLumberjack*
06they-came-within
They Came From Within --------------------- They Came From Within (aka Shivers). Early, uber-icky Cronenberg. *—reneet*
07abby
Abby ---- Abby — the best blaxploitation *Exorcist* knock-off ever made. Plus, it features William "Blacula" Marshall! *—T\_Lawson*
08house-of-1000-corpses
House of 1000 Corpses --------------------- *House of 1000 Corpses* has a weak third act but a good film nonetheless. *—mjk*
09big-bad-mama
Big Bad Mama ------------ I always thought Big Bad Mama with Angie Dickinson, William Shatner and Tom Skerritt was fabulous. Momma and the movie were both "bad!" *—LasVegasRocks* The first exploitation film has to be Big Bad Mama. Was only 10 or 11 at the time and to watch with dad at the drive-in was awesome! *—marqueja*
10black-dynamite
Black Dynamite -------------- I'd have to go with Black Dynamite. *—skalobster11* *[Black Dynamite](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dynamite)*, baby! *—kurosawafan* Man there are some choice cuts there. I have to say Black Dynamite was an amazing throwback to some great flicks. *—Cokeman* Now you jive turkeys, Black Dynamite is the best movie on this list, can you dig it? *—vaughn91* What about some of the more recent blaxsploitation comedies like Black Dynamite, Undercover Brother, Jackie Brown (not a comedy) or even [The Hebrew Hammer](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317640/)? *—orbit*
11bucket-blood
A Bucket of Blood ----------------- My favorite would have to be [A Bucket of Blood](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Bucket_of_Blood) starring Dick Miller. The absurd nature of this dark comedy is truly inspired, and paved the way for many exploitation films to come. *—camycam518*
12bucket-blood

13humanoids
Humanoids From the Deep ----------------------- For cheap exploitation, I have to go with [Humanoids From the Deep](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanoids_from_the_Deep). Low-budget but lots of cheesy goodness, and they even "borrowed" the exploding tummy gimmick from *Alien*, released the previous year. *—kdh702*
14chicken-fried
*The Kentucky Fried Movie* -------------------------- [*The Kentucky Fried Movie*](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076257/). By far the best. *—Brosiden*
