This is a list of movies I remember from browsing through my local Hollywood Video as a child. As you can tell I spent a lot of time in the 'horror' aisle. I haven't seen very many of these and the cover arts bring back a lot more memories than the movies themselves.
WARNING! Some descriptions may contain SPOILERS though I will try to steer away from them as much as possible.

- DirectorMatt GreenStarsTom SaviniBrian BremerMelanie ParkerA group of campers encounter a brutal government agent whom uses them as bait to capture a vicious creature, a failed government experiment, loose in the woods.I rented this one when I was a kid and hated it. As the years passed It faded from my memory completely except for one single unforgettable scene: an army soldier getting dragged away by the worst CGI monster I'd ever seen. The memory led to an obsession, and eventually I knew I had to have this in my collection even if the rest of the movie was absolute garbage just to know if the monster was as bad as I remember...
Well, it certainly is a sight to behold. But I'm older now. I'm wiser now. I crawl through the sewers of cinema on a regular basis and enjoy every minute. So I can't say the monster is the worst I've seen (it is fucking terrible though, don't be mistaken) and they use an animatronic model during close-up scenes which actually looks pretty good.
The film overall is not very good. For what it is, it's not terrible, and they somehow managed to drag Bill Moseley AND Tom Savini into this and both are great as usual. An especially amusing scene is when a fisherman unknowningly enters the "government testing zone" which is closed off by a driveway gate and a BEWARE OF DOG sign. - DirectorJeff LeroyStarsLisa JayJeff RyanPhoebe DollarGenetically engineered killer spiders are released from a government laboratory, they kill people by eating them from the inside out.Charming killer spider b-flick from "Master of Miniatures" Jeff Leroy.
- DirectorAdam MinarovichStarsAdam MinarovichJeremy BusbeeMichael Moore3 Feet Tall, with 2 Inch fangs and an Undying thirst for Blood. Drexel Vennis, Half Human/Half Vampire, along with his sidekick T-Bone, must stop dwarf vampires from unleashing a plague of vampires, before its too late.An amusing piece of shit with an amazing theme song. Full of hilariously terrible one-liners, a bunch of goobers pretending to be badasses, and clumsy action scenes with occasionally impressive stunt-work. One of these scenes merely consists of a vampire hunter shooting two arrows at the protagonist and then giving up, and seems to exist merely so the protagonist can show off his sick backflip. For flaws that hurt the movie rather than help it, we have the terrible camerawork and lighting, and I felt the pacing could have been a bit tighter.
Better than I expected but not as good as I hoped. - DirectorReinhart 'Rayteam' PeschkeStarsLaura NativoRhoda JordanEdwin CraigOn a small island off the California coast it's the Fourth of July and tourists are washing up dead. Mysterious sea creatures called Aquanoids are responsible.Pretty fun B-movie dragged down by underwhelming Aquanoid attacks consisting of a camera that rapidly flashes back and forth between indiscernible shots.
- DirectorPaul MooreStarsDon DigiulioJeanie CheekJennifer LeighA group of teenagers go to an inherited family farm, only to be attacked by a killer scarecrow.

- DirectorEmmanuel ItierStarsTim YoungTodd RexTiffany ShepisWhen high school loner Lester is betrayed then viciously murdered, the bodies start stacking up as the scarecrow seeks vengeance from beyond the grave.Very entertaining b-horror movie with some fun gore.
- DirectorDavid Michael LattStarsTony ToddNicole KingstonDavid CastroA college freshman is killed during a fraternity prank and is resurrected as a demonic scarecrowNot as entertaining as the first, and a lot of the gore is crappy CGI, but it does the job.
- DirectorBrian KatkinStarsKen ShamrockMatthew LinhardtSamantha AislingCollege mischief spins out of control unleashing a horrifying scarecrow who terrorizes a resort town during Spring Break.
- DirectorChristopher AbramStarsRobert HarveyLaurie ReavesChristopher AbramIn the woods outside a small Texas town, a group of friends searching for some Halloween fun discover that a local legend is not only real, but deadly.

- DirectorLeigh ScottStarsJeff DentonThomas DowneySarah LievingWerewolf sightings in Walworth County, Wisconsin lead a sheriff to investigate a series of deaths caused by a creature with human and wolf DNA.Decent werewolf flick from The Asylum with some good gore scenes.
- DirectorPeter MervisStarsBrandon StacyGriff FurstChriss AnglinAfter killing four persons in his home with a shotgun, Dee Travis claims that he had accidentally ingested an experimental biotoxin that the company Blackthorn where he worked was researching. Travis is sent visibly ill to the Harwood Maximum Security Prison and the Security Officer Sweeny sends the inmate to the infirmary. Meanwhile the CDC Agent Samantha Beckett comes to the prison to interview Travis and is received by Warden Mahler. While they are having a conversation, they are informed that Travis has been transferred to the solitary confinement and his infected blood has caused an outbreak among the prisoners and guards. Samantha calls the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the responsible advises the warden that the prison is in quarantine.

Will the ragtag group of survivors escape in time to avoid becoming demon food?...
... Well, if that were the case, this wouldn't be much good. I mean... it isn't much good, but the fun gore and cool monster effects are the only things keeping it watchable. Also worth mentioning is a funny, completely out-of-left-field character reveal involving an inmate who reacts violently when another inmate jokes about his testicles. Other than that this is sub-par Asylum nonsense. - DirectorAndy LauerStarsEdward FurlongSteve RailsbackCerina VincentA group of four teenage friends become trapped in a Mexican border tunnel where they fall prey, one-by one, to tortured ghosts who haunt it.
- DirectorAndrew BellwareStarsDaryl BolingDoris HickMargaret DodgeWith a privatized police force, the future world poses some tough questions for detectives Michael Kelly and Jane Sikorski.
