1. Floor lamp (Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes, 1989)
So far, The Amityville Horror has spawned a whopping eight sequels, remakes, and spin-offs, but surely none of them is as ridiculous as the cheapie Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes, in which Satan stops possessing a house and starts possessing bad household decor. After scaring some particularly flinchy priests, an ugly brass lamp full of evil escapes the much-filmed Amityville and winds up in a California house occupied by recent widow Patty Duke, her three kids, and her mom, Jane Wyatt. (In the process, it gives Wyatt's sister tetanus, in a particularly low-key display of Satanic might.) Even though it has the power to flash ominously, cover itself with flies, somehow stuff the family bird into a toaster oven, and activate a chainsaw and a garbage disposal at inopportune moments, the lamp makes a phenomenally inert villain, and the film's constant attempts to make it frightening border on camp—particularly in the scene where it slowly edges across a room, sneaking up on the unsuspecting Duke. Eventually, after a pitched battle, Duke, Wyatt, and a priest beat the devil—by throwing the lamp out a window.

8. What about the Gargon Space Monster?

The strangely familiar creature from Teenagers From Outer Space? Where's the love for those poor crustaceans,
that most certainly gave their lives for the cause...
