The Syfy channel's movies are horrible, but they are entertaining.

Hey, just hearing what they're about is enough to make you laugh. And the movies themselves are hilarious - either intentionally or unintentionally.

Case in point: "Arachnoquake," which is currently in production. Here's Syfy's description:

"In Arachnoquake, massive earthquakes unleash giant albino spiders. Freed from their ancient subterranean prison, the spiders go on a murderous rampage through New Orleans."

Hasn't New Orleans already suffered enough?

It's also fun to check out who's in a Syfy movie just to see whose careers are in the toilet. "Arachnoquake" stars Tracey Gold ("Growing Pains"), Bug Hall ("The Little Rascals"), Ethan Phillips ("Star Trek: Voyager") and Edward Furlong ("Terminator 2: Judgment Day").

It's scheduled to air on Syfy sometime in 2012.
