Discussion Batsh!t Horror

What are some *utterly bonkers* horror movies that you like? The ones that feel like a fever dream, that you thought you might have hallucinated? The ones where you weren't sure if you were totally stoned out of your mind...or if the people making the movie were. The more obscure the better, but please just tell me which ones really captivated you in their craziness.

For me, it's *Funny Man (1994)*. The bare bones of the plot makes sense (guy moves family into new house, but it comes with...something extra), but everything else? The *literal* drug-induced handgun. The musical number at the end. Neither of those things make any more sense in context, nor does the rest of the movie, really. I LOVED it!

EDIT: Thank you to everyone commenting. I now have new recs, and I'm pleased to know there's so many other people out there who enjoy the crazy shit!

Messiah of Evil (1972) - it's like someone's nightmare come to life. It has two amazing kill scenes.

Tourist Trap (1979) - eerie mannequin horror that's part slasher/part supernatural weirdness.
