Bad Channels is a 1992 American science fiction spoof, released by Full Moon Features. It is about two aliens (Cosmo & Lump) who invade a radio station with the intention of capturing female humans, by using radio broadcasts. The hero is a DJ forced to combat the aliens alone when listeners think he's joking about the invasion.

A semi-sequel was released in the form of Dollman vs. Demonic Toys, a crossover film featuring characters from Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels. The film also has its own soundtrack composed and performed by Blue Öyster Cult.

Critical response

Cinemaphile gave it a bad review, 0/4 stars, calling it a "mess" and saying "I fear that the creators of this movie must have had brain tissue damaged sometime in their lifetimes."[1] The Film Fiend was more positive, calling it "hilariously cheesy".[2] Classic Rock Magazine described the soundtrack as "a grotesque mistake".[3]
