TERROR TOONS is another shot-on-video stinker, cheaper than Troma and without even that studio's wit or enthusiasm. This one's about a couple of masked idiots who spend their time giggling and laughing while chopping up their victims. There are a few animated overlays and the like to justify the title, but mostly this is just an ordinary slasher film with dull characters doing stupid things. There are a couple of extreme gore effects for those into that kind of thing, but the level of stupidity is high.

Hardly the worst direct-to-vid flick I've seen!
capkronos18 March 2003
While their parents are away, blonde teen sisters Cindy (Beverly Lynn) and Candy (Lizzie Borden) will play. Cindy invites a female friend and two guys over for pizza, wine coolers and a game of 'strip Ouija board.' The more childish Candy pops in a 'Terror Toons' DVD (which she received anonymously in the mail
from hell!) and ends up unleashing two of the maniacal lead characters (Dr. Carnage and Max Assassin). The deadly duo then proceeds to kill everyone off in gory, cartoonish ways.
There are a lot of mediocre gore FX (spine ripped out of back, brain surgery, body sawed in half ), mediocre to bad performances and some fun/silly touches (including scenes from the DVD and another set in hell). It's cheesy alright (and the ending is just terrible), but considering the fact it was done on a budget of '2300' dollars and was filmed in 3 days, it's a little more imaginative, colorful and ambitious than you might expect, suggesting the director may do good work with a higher budget.
The Full Moon video release (which received a rather wide circulation at Blockbuster) has cast and crew interviews, outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage at the end.

Horrible yet entertaining flick
whammy66610 April 2005
WOw, this movie sucks. I rented it knowing it was gonna suck but I had no idea it would be this bad... From the opening scene, you know this is gonna suck. The opening scene is fake, funny, stupid, horrible all at the same time. I find it funny how horrible this film is, yet it is very entertaining. The gore is alright, not all of it looks as fake as it does in the first scene, some of it looks okay. Most of the special effects are bad, but not all of it. Some very fake CGI in here, and the Terror Toons don't look like cartoons. The kills are okay, some of them funny, some of them just...bad. I still find it entertaining, I really enjoy this movie. Must see for any fans of really, really BAD movies!
It Ain't Camp...It Ain't Much Of Anything

Terror Toons, starring porn icon Lizzie Borden and Beverly Lynne, has a bad porn feel to it, only without the titillating sex and nudity. And cohesive plot.
Candy and Cindy are sisters left home for the night when their dad and "mom" leave for a wedding. Cindy receives a DVD called Terror Toons, which unleashes supposed cartoon characters Dr. Carnage and Max Assassin.
I'll give Beverly Lynne and Kelly Liu credit, they at least try to do a halfway decent job, but they are let down by their director and the special effects department. Joe Castro doesn't so much film as he just happens to keep a camera in the room as his story unfolds. The special effects would be laughable if they weren't so nauseating...not nauseating in the sense of "ooh, brains" but in the sense of "ooh, special effects goop."
It took one person to come up with the story, and three to come up with the script. What exactly took three people? The tired cartoon characters running through doors in a hallway? The cop who likes donuts? Strip Ouija?
This is a horrible, hateful little movie that will make you wonder about humanity's capacity to come together and put together something so unbelievably awfully. Stay away from it.

I didn't think any movie could be worse than Killer Nerd.....I was wrong!

This movie is horrible. Not only is it not worth your time to sit and watch it, it is torture to watch. My brother was watching it and I happened to be in the same room while he was watching it and there is one word I would use to describe this movie: TRASH! The acting is terrible, the script is crap, the special effects are non existent. This is not even a movie, it's a waste of a tape, it's a sad excuse for something to be considered a so called movie. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT WATCH THIS, IT'S NOT WORTH IT! The only way I would suggest watching this is if you would like to torture yourself, if you would like to torture yourself then by all means watch this movie. I don't even think anyone who was high could appreciate this movie, in fact I think this movie might drive people to get high. Well anyway if your looking for a good movie to rent at the video store rent anything other than this, believe me you'll be sorry if you rent this.
Once you thought you've seen your share of bad movies...
Remster27 September 2002
For some reason I seem to have a thing for picking bad movies. After Leprechaun 4, Killjoy 2 and Surf Nazis Must Die I thought it couldn't get much worse. Unfortunately I was wrong, because I watched Terror Toons. Sure, the budget for this movie was $2300, but why waste $2300 to make an all time hideous movie like this one? Trust me, you will not have one reason to watch this movie, although I can understand you get curious after reading all these reviews saying it's bad and you want to find out yourself, I had that a couple of times, but this time the reviewers are right! Don't do it! Don't watch it! Don't waste your money (or bandwidth) on trash like this. Don't say we didn't warn you :)
pretty bad but funny
forrestthomas71-733-4319073 January 2013
it was pretty bad the acting was awful the effects where cheap well the movie does have a budget of $2,300 but if you just want to get a good laugh watch this goofy peace of junk of a film i also found that they filmed this whole movie in two days that is one reason probably why it sucks for a pro movie this is the movie that you should watch when your flying high on an acid trip LOL OMG i might as well watch a normal comedy than this horrible silly wanna be horror movie LOL so just ignore that it is labeled as a horror movie and just watch it as if it was a plain comedy or parody of horror movies or just avoid this awful peace of crap!!
Good reviews of this movie are utter lies
TheDeaDGuY17 May 2004
I don't see how anyone who has a brainstem got a laugh out of this movie.
Me and my friends sit around, renting movies of this vein for exactly that purpose, and were rendered speech&humor-less by this complete atrocity. We had to stop half way through and discuss exactly what was going on before we started it back up again.
The only thing about this movie that has to do with 'horror' is the word 'horrible', which you will be quite familiar with by the time you're done repeating it as the minutes which seem endless slowly tick past. When it's finally finished you will probably completely regret the bit of your life-span you've wasted on this, and wish you could've done something constructive with it.
I've laughed at Fiend, I've laughed at Alien Factor, I've laughed at Troll, I've even gotten some sick laughs out of Blood Sucking Freaks and this just does not compare. I would rather watch episodes of Barney back, to back, to back, for the rest of my natural life, than ever see this trash again.
As far as I can tell, this is literally the worst movie ever made.

breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com17 March 2014
It's one thing to make a bad movie. There's also the concept of creating a movie so bad that it's good. Lastly, there's that movie that accomplishes none of that and ends up just being really bad. When it comes to these movies, it can be hard to say what the determining factor is that threw the production of film off course. As for this movie though, it is blatantly obvious to why it falls completely flat and should not be even bothered to be seen. At points it brings up the idea that it could be a guilty pleasure movie but it all depends on how the viewer sees the situation.
The story is about two sisters who are left by themselves in their house with a duo of goofy terror (as one could only put it). The terror is brought on by packaged DVD called Terror Toons. Upon visiting this film (within this film), the credits read that it was produced by THE Devil, you know, the devil himself. Yet, (if this were to be real) no one pays attention to this and passes it off as minor detail and doesn't consider the possibility that it could be real. When in fact, this is the exact case. Inside this product are the main antagonists - Dr. Carnage and Max Assassin. The weird thing is, these are the only two toon like characters in existence.
The reasoning behind this is because they are the only characters with exaggerated faces and google eyes. There is a segment at the beginning of the video, which runs like a cartoon, but even the characters that take part in it are a combination of live-action and animated humans. It's not all cartoons as it says it's based upon. It's like a cheap trick, either that or a really bad knock off of a Richard Band production. Adding to the frustration are the poorly developed characters and villains. The Doctor and Max do not say barely a thing. The dialog that was worked out for the actors are not passable either. Much of it is either awkward exchanges or scenes that are supposed to contain emotion and have nothing close to it.
Special effects and sounds are another thing. For the budget that this movie had, it does demonstrate some good practical gore effects, but when it comes CGI related scenes, they're just flat, boring and not believable. Even when characters are running it doesn't look real. The feet don't match the pacing - wouldn't it be easier to just film them running instead of moving the character while they're running? What's the point? Along with these bad green screen effects are the horrendous repetitive sound effects. It is appropriate that the characters make cartoon noises but the fact that the sounds are heard every 10 seconds doesn't make it funny. Even the music wasn't helpful, it was appropriately matched to the goofy homicidal cartoons but it didn't increase the entertainment level any bit. Just a poor poor attempt.
With characters that barely look like cartoons, acting that is not good at all, and cheap special effects, the idea of terror only comes to mind when watching this movie because of how terrifyingly bad it truly is.

LMAO!!!!!!!! i LOVED this movie. yes, it was bad, the acting was horrible, the special effects cheap as hell, but ya know, i was highly amused. I have seen other movies by this guy though, and his crew "brain damage video"....all of the movies are just horribly wonderful. don't expect any awards for these.... they all look like they are made with a $200 budget, and, most of the actors/actresses are from porn...hey, everyone needs a break..haha. can't wait to see the sequal to this.
"Roger rabbit" meets a random gore flick
Viva_Chiba20 January 2011
This is a campy gorefest, if you are looking something serious, i think that you can skip this one.
There is gore (pretty well made) and the classic "Teen party massacre", the movie is surreal and very weird. The movie has some "humorous" cartoon style scenes, that makes the movie even more weird.
The only problem that i have with the movie are the green screen effects, i am not a big fan of green screen.
Why i am one of the few "suckers" who enjoyed the movie ? Probably because i never expect "Titanic" or "Inception" when i watch a movie, honestly, i rather see a low-budget and independent movie like this, rather than a big-budget and ultra-predictable Hollywood movie.

Stay away from this brain-numbing stupidity at all costs! My friend and me will watch just about anything.He rented this by mistake thinking it was a legit horror movie. He should have demanded his money back. Its not even a "real" movie. Does that make sense? Does if you've ever seen this torture. When we find Osama we should tie him up CLOCKWORK ORANGE-style and force him to watch TERROR TOONS again and again til he begs to be offed. The plot...and Lord it gives me p.p. chills to call it a "plot" is about a bimbo who watches a strange tape called TERROR TOONS which hypnotizes her and sends bad things THROUGH the tv screen her way. the charactors in this are just terrible cheap awful. my God, words can not convey. Just promise me you WONT watch this. Its too late for me. Save yourself.....
Cartoon catastrophe
Dr. Gore7 May 2003
Warning: Spoilers
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*
When will I learn? What cosmic event needs to shake me from my slumber? For some reason, the idea of cartoon characters coming to life and killing people appealed to me. I foresaw a "Roger Rabbit" rampage kind of movie.
Instead you get two idiots, in obvious plastic masks, attacking this group of people on a super cheap set. It was painful. There is a lot of gore but it's all cheap and terrible. Just parading animal guts in front of the screen is not going to give gore satisfaction. I could go to the butcher at the grocery store if I wanted that.
And what was with the "younger" sister? She had huge breasts and did not get naked. Did NOT get naked. Why? Why I ask? The movie had nothing else going for it. Why not spring the extra $20 bucks? That's how cheap this movie was. Couldn't afford nudity but had a bucket full of cheap blood.
The main appeal of two cartoon characters attacking was a lie. A gross lie. It was just two dorks in masks being goofy. Load my gun. I got to take this movie outside and end it all.

If you see this video, try to make a drinking game out of it for the world of suckers to enjoy (but don't try too hard). This was terrible garbage and I loved it. I love a bad idea gone wrong in all the right ways. It has to be the splendid gore (Mortal Combat style) that pulls this whole thing together or perhaps it's the sound bytes pulled straight from the web. Not sure.
Way to go Tommy, the best boyfriend a screwy girl like Candy could have. Jack Roberts steals the show as the dark one. I enjoyed this video with a bottle of Chianti Classico '98 ($15.99 US).

But still very poorly made. It just seems the only thing they could do right in this movie was have the viewer wonder whats gonna happen next although it is usually a lot of simple, mush minded, cliché glop that attempts to stay with the plot line but never makes any sort of impact at all.
Two stupid 'cartoon characters' in obvious costumes who are disciples of the devil attempt to torture and kill all children in the world by issuing their DVD of terror toons around the globe. However when it reaches a certain house and the two characters unleash hell on a bunch of unsuspecting numb skull teenagers. They meet their match in a girl named Amy who has become a superhero and gained the power to stop them.
Yep if you've read my description of the plot above you've probably assumed thats the worst of it. It's not. The acting is so awful it's not even funny, just incredibly painful to watch. You can tell the whole movie has been rushed just by following the events taking place. And the mindless gore scenes and characters just don't fit.
But if you want to enjoy this film here is the key. Don't take it seriously at all. That's right just, sit back and expect the worst. Then you can get more out of it. Although I enjoy most spoof movies by doing this, this film just isn't a spoof and makes it painful at times. I appreciate the director's attempts but I'm sorry Joe Castro this didn't work. 3/10

What's there to say? This movie is awful! It is SO cheap! What was the budget for it? This movie was just laughably bad. I can't believe it actually exist. I recommend that you stay away from this garbage of a film. I would watch any other bad movie than this!
TERRIBLE!!

One of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune of watching, the special effects were terrible, the acting was bad, and the over all effort was a catastrophe. I'm not going into details but if you happen to pass by this in the video store, go get something by David Cronenberg. Trust Me.
my attempt...
mrb86915 July 2006
I have been watching movies sense well my mom said here watch this. I have seen all kinds....good ones...bad ones....movies that made me say "why?". I watched this movie (for the lack of a better or allowable term) for the second time about 4 days ago (the fist was back when it first was released on DVD at schlockbuster and was rented on a whim...we began watching it at about 4 in the morning my judgment was definitely hindered.) but any way like i said about 4 days ago my good buddy and i were at the video place and their it was "dude its 8 bucks and this movie was awesome" so he bought it. like i said my judgment from the first time was definitely hindered.
ignore all of the reviews on the back of the case. (tipacly i do that any way but in this case they LIE!!!) i guess the concept sounded pretty cool to the film makers for it sounded kind of humorous to me and my buddy...but my BullSpit sense was tingling...i should not have ignored it. i think that everybody that has left a review here on this site...well they have pretty much have pointed out all the things that horrible about this movie so i will spare you. but i will tell you......this movie is bad..annoying...poorly made...down right unwatchable...and i try to look for the good in all movies but for this one i just cant...
Several people have made references in their reviews towards Troma and how bad their movies are. Compared to Mr. Castro Lloyed Koughman should sit right next to Alfred Hitchcock and Sam Raimi. I now have a better respect for Chris Seaver over a LBP (although you have never heard anything i have said about you i take it all back).
i really cant explain how horrible this movie is but trying to just kind of makes me want to watch Cannable Haulocaust....

beamerdog14 December 2007
... it was THAT bad. I honestly can't remember EVER turning off a movie and not finishing it (and I've sat through Angst people) - but I couldn't make it past 30 minutes with this one. And I only made it that long in the desperate hopes that the film would somehow redeem itself. It didn't. Everything about the movie screams "non-existant budget!" It looks like a few film school students picked up Dad's home video camera, did a combination of drugs that I can not concoct, decided to make a movie - oh and they happened to know a porn star, and someone who kind-of knew how to edit. Personally, I usually like low-budget films - when they are put together well. I've seen some amazingly bad movies in my time. This was by FAR the absolute WORST movie I have EVER seen in my entire life. Don't waste your money, or perhaps even more valuable, your time.
No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
johnsgallbladder31 August 2002
This movie was just deplorable. First off, the back of the box says it clocks in at 110 minutes. The "film" ends at around 70 minutes, and then there credits and a bunch of bloopers. Not that im complaining, as an hour still was too long for this piece of crap. Now, im a big camp fan, i love b-movies and cult flicks, but this is so dumb its mind numbing. And that porn actress looking lady "lizzie borden" acting like a seven year old was creepy. If you want to see something sad, watch the behind the scenes stuff on the dvd and listen to the "actors" talk about how their characters spoke to them. Id give this a .3 out of 10 just due to the fact that they were able to distribute this.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I didn't expect much from this movie, and it delivered in spades!
This is not meant to be taken seriously. It didn't take itself seriously, so why should you? From the introduction that starts the thing off, anyone should know that this is going to be z-grade, homemade insanity. That's exactly what it is. The acting is supposed to be bad, the story is supposed to be nonsense, the plot is supposed to be silly. It wasn't made to be a good movie, it was made to make Ed Wood look like a genius.
Only those who can appreciate someone's PCP-induced semi-nightmare set to cartoon music and dolloped by the not-so-glorious ladleful directly onto video should bother with this flick. Its definitely not for everyone.
I can only imagine that the director of this thing, which follows in the footsteps of such delicious aberrations as "Barn of the Blood Llama" and the twisted works of Damien Foster, set out to make something to be laughed at. I sat there for 70 minutes wth my jaw on the floor, hardly able to believe the unadulterated awfulness of every aspect of this laugh riot.
Sometimes its fun to leave your brain at the door and check into Motel Trashola. The whole attitude of this movie is best summed up by Dr. Carnage's magic show, especially the scene where Carnage hands one of the characters his own brain and the character sits there, drool dripping down his chin, staring at his own severed neurology. When you're in the mood to get stupid -- really, really stupid -- that's when its time to go dig up this fine platter of cheeeeeeeeeeeez.

The whole attitude of this movie is best summed up by Dr. Carnage's magic show, especially the scene where Carnage hands one of the characters his own brain and the character sits there, drool dripping down his chin, staring at his own severed neurology. When you're in the mood to get stupid -- really, really stupid -- that's when its time to go dig up this fine platter of cheeeeeeeeeeeez.

This was one of the cheapest movies I have ever seen, but I liked it. Don't get me wrong it's not the best horror movie I've seen, but for the 2300 dollar budget that the movie had it was good. The little sister Candy (Lizzie) struck me as a bit odd, but once again I like odd. The villain Dr. Carnage was great with the maniacal laugh. I wish I could have given it a 7 but I just can't.

Warning: Spoilers
This was the biggest piece of crap ever.
Joe Castro has absolutely no talent...at all. I cannot believe that this many people actually got together to film this. I just keep thinking, 'if I was there at the time, if someone had asked me to act in this movie, or to have ANYTHING to do with it, wouldn't I have the decency to kill them before they could make it???' I just don't understand how this many people could willingly participate in something that made absolutely no sense. I mean, for one thing, wasn't Dr Carnage supposed to be trying to STOP his crazy monkey??? I guess that went out the window, along with every other piece of sense when these porno rejects decided to make this filth.
Also, who decided to make every scene take 3 times as long as it needed to, for example the lame tongue stud guy laughing to death at two strange looking muppets dancing for TEN MINUTES!!! By the way, how are all you actors not able to ACT like you're LAUGHING!!! Laughing is one of humanity's simplest emotions...yet you all looked like you were halfway between a smirk and a yawn whilst in the middle of a holocaust concentration camp, especially you blonde dude...BAD BAD acting!!! There are not enough words to describe how awful you all are at making movies. This wasn't even good enough to laugh at the badness...it transcended crap into a level where I actually felt horrible and dirty for having watched it, like I just lost some of my value as a human being.
I am disgusted.
Please never even look at a camera again. Any of you.

Unbearable. I don't even know where to begin on this other than saying that this was, by far, the worst movie I personally have ever seen.
For one, it was obvious that Candy was supposed to be around the age of 7 or 8, but was played by a porn star of about 25. What made this even worse was the fact that the camera shot on her obviously fake breasts was too long to even allow the viewer to even consider her being under the age of 10.
The rest of the cast, characters probably set around the age of anywhere from 17 - 19, should either be preparing for their first cooperate job or an early pre-metapause.
Before I even watched the film, I watched the trailer for Terror Toons, behind the scenes of Terror Toons and Interviews with the cast and crew.
From the trailer, I was disappointed the minute the cartoonish villains made their appearance. I had seen the case to this 'movie' in my local Blockbuster and from reading the information I imagined the 'house party' being a large group of 15 or more people being terrorized by creatures the size of your standard puppet. When I saw the life-sized insult to horror that was Doctor Carnage and Max Assassin and the four person party I was shocked at how wrong I was.
During the interviews with the actors and crew members, I could come to the conclusion that this movie would be filth. When interviewing the actor who played Eddie on what his most memorable scene was for him he couldn't even remember the two monsters who not only terrorized the four-some of 'teens' but the viewers as well. Then when the actress who played Amy was asked what she thought when she was told the movie would be shot in 3 days (God Save Us!) she said 'I'm not very good at memorizing lines and saying them so I was shocked!' all I could think was, 'So, she's basically telling us she's a terrible actress then?' And you don't know how right I was.
And, what was up with the random animated animals just popping up from the corner of the screen through out the movie? Not to mention the super hero! My god and what was with the ending?
I think that the house, though very cool, only added to the monstrosity of the movie. The vibrantly colored walls, covered in flames or stars, just made it look like a cheap movie that was shot to serve as a movie a character would watch in a major budget movie.
The only thing that was even remotely amusing about his movie was the mother of the two girls played by a man in drag.
From start to finish, this so called film was filled with bad acting, bad directing, bad writing and all around just a bad movie. At one point in the movie I was hoping that Max Assassin and Doctor Carnage would break into a mad, 'comedic' way and do away with me.
I let four weeks and four trips to Blockbuster go by before I decided on renting this movie and wish I would have forgotten all about it.
I can sum up everything wrong with this movie in one simple phrase. 'There were only two things wrong with this movie The camera lens was off and the sound was on'
Having said all of this I am going to allow myself to be an immensely huge walking contradiction. Despite Terror Toons', and it REALLY was a terror, horrid EVERYTHING, if I do see that my local Blockbuster does have a copy of Terror Toons: The Sick And Silly Show (the highly unanticipated sequel) I just might rent it. I do believe that people can learn from their mistakes and not hire porn stars or 30 year olds to play teenagers in a horror movie.
Though the movie did do a number on my mind and eyes (God, I hope I can forget about this movie someday) I think it did even more of a number on the actors and crew members even more. Just think these poor people with have to live with the fact that this movie is on the resumes forever.
2/10 --- The drag queen really saved them on this one.
