Horror movies have been a reliable movie genre over the years. Like anything, horror movies have had their peaks and valleys: some decades have nothing but horror movies, while in others, there's a drought. Overall, horror movies have made money without needing movie stars to sell the film.

'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' (1978)

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is one of the first and most well-known killer food movies. It was made for a low budget and became a surprise hit, becoming a horror food franchise.

The movie is a spoof of B movies, and it was made for less than $100,000; this was back when movies were shot on film and not the more affordable digital technology available today. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes became a pop culture phenomenon that people still talk about today. It became a franchise with three tomato movies and an animated series spin-off. George Clooney was even in Return of the Killer Tomatoes before he became an A-list movie star.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is available to stream for free on Pluto TV, Tubi, Vudu, Plex, and Amazon Prime.

'Thankskilling' (2009)

Thankskilling

Thankskilling is the lowest budget film on the list. It was shot for only $3500 and was given peanuts for marketing and distribution. Thankskilling is one of those movie ideas people usually joke about during Thanksgiving before carving into the bird.

People have joked for years about: "what if the turkey came back to life and decided to get even?" Kevin Stewart and Jordan Downey just took that idea and made a movie about it. The film is about a cursed turkey killing college students while they are on holiday break: the plot of a typical slasher movie with a "fowl" twist — happy Thankskilling!

Thankskilling can be streamed for free on Pluto TV, Tubi, and Vudu.

'The Stuff' (1985)

The Stuff is an underrated movie with a dark sense of satire and humor that many people either don't like or don't get. The film is a satirical look at TV commercials, marketing, and nutrition. It is a movie that may be more relevant today than when it was initially released.

The plot of The Stuff: after quarry workers discover a white cream bubbling out of the ground, they taste it and are immediately addicted to it. The Stuff is marketed and sold to the general public. The only problem is the stuff takes over the brain and turns people into zombies. The Stuff may not be as good as Dawn of the Dead, which took its themes about greed and materialism more seriously, but it's still a silly, fun horror movie about American consumerism.

The Stuff can be streamed for free on Tubi.
