I’m a huge fan of practical special effects, and even with CGI realism advancing at an alarming rate I feel like there will always be a place for practical effects in the entertainment industry.
That being said, there are plenty of times when practical effects are used because of a low budget or lack of access to CGI effects, and that’s when things can go horribly wrong.
This video by WatchMojo is a trip down the bad side of memory lane, reminding us about the times when bad practical effects made us laugh when we were supposed to be having some serious cinematic feels.

They picked the wrong scene in Nightmare on Elm Street, that one wasn't too bad. Earlier, in the ally scene they tried to show Freddy with extremely long arms, and it looked horrendous, plus the scene was so dark nobody could really see it. They pulled it off properly in a sequel, but in the original, it should have been cut.
