This may sound apocryphal, but the precursor to Army of Darkness is Evil Dead 2. This is very funny and the special effects aren't quite as good or over the top as in AOD, but it was the original cult classic spoof of horror movies. Every horror movie antic gets ridiculed in that plot and its hilarious. Down to opening doors and things in the cellar and undead vengeful girlfriends. That movie has been sampled by so many industrial music bands, in particular Skinny Puppy. Very funny stuff.
I have a practice with my buddy Rune of intentionally renting really bad movies to laugh at how awful they are. Just MST3K them to hell and back. It makes the video store far more interesting when you stop looking for good movies which are few and rare and instead rent the really bad ones to mock them. There are LOTS of BAD movies waiting for abuse. Abuse them! Abuse them, I tell you!
