I came across this while looking up "The Eye of Argon." It was actually written by my uncle, Jim Theis, when he was 15 or 16. So, it was an earnest effort. But it's still funny and thought of fondly by my family. I know this is a little, well, a lot, late.

But it is at least bad in a funny way. Van Helsing was as painful as having an earhole cleaned out with a rusty nail. The Eye of Argon is impossible to read, it is true.

I checked out that review on IMDB, too... I remember mentally realigning my sense of where Anna and whatsherface were in relation to the bridge, and I remember thinking "What, swing him <em>down</em>?" But there was just so much that didn't make sense that I had completely forgotten about it by the time we got out of the movie. As near as I can tell, the cables were suspended from skyhooks halfway between the two towers, which would make it possible for the monster to swing down off the bridge, then back up to the tower and through the window. <i>"I couldnt suspend my disbelief for this if you got me drunk or hit me over the head with a hammer."</i> I don’t know if it ever won the contest, but it does seem to be listed in the sidebar on the Bulwer-Lytton website!

Did this ever win the <a href="http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/">Bulwer-Lytton</a> award? I loved one of the Van Helsing IMDB reviews, entitled "Contains one of the most logically bankrupt scenes in movie history." The writer proceeds to figure out the tower arrangements in Dracula's castle, something I think our heroes never did.

I think I read about ten words over the course of the two hours. I'm just glad it wasn't a drinking-game reading.
