From 2000 to the present day, Syfy (formerly known as Sci-Fi Channel) has produced and financed a number of low-budget, Z-grade horror and sci-fi movies. Many are made by the Mockbuster studio known as The Asylum. The films are notorious for their poor quality that makes them wildly hilarious. | |

Off-the-Shelf FX | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_11ec1fd5 | comment |
Off-the-Shelf FX: To be expected, given the ultra-low budget of each film (some high tech firearms appear to be repainted Nerf guns). | |

Disaster Movie | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_1dca0b0a | comment |
Disaster Movie: Many movies that aren't monster flicks are instead about some sort of disaster, though the special effects are usually lacking for these to an even greater extent. Taken to its apex by the Sharknado movies, which combine the two genres. | |

Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_330ef176 | comment |
Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious: If it's a cryptid and it's even remotely plausible that it would eat people, it's bound to have starred in one of these. | |

Bioweapon Beast | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_354c4dc0 | comment |
Bioweapon Beast: Often the monsters in these movies were intended to be some kind of bioweapon for The Government or a sinister Mega-Corp. | |

LEGO Genetics | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_73f38fe0 | comment |
LEGO Genetics: Animal genes can often be injected into people willy nilly to create part-human hybrids like Mansquito, Sharkman, or Snakeman. This is also the usual explanation for the Mix-and-Match Critters. | |

Nuke 'em | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_ac320c0e | comment |
Nuke 'em: Rarely is there a situation in one of these films where someone won't default to "nuke the crap out of it." The few that don't feature that option are usually the "trapped on an X" variant with a tiny cast. In Deep Shock, the attempt to seal the rift the alien eels have opened involves over 200 nukes. | |

Armies Are Evil | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_c9aea8c8 | comment |
Armies Are Evil: Or at least the American military is. It's also damn near omnipresent, as one movie shows that they have a secret base within almost literal spitting distance of Stonehenge (because they are, of course, hoping to weaponize it). | |

Insect Gender-Bender | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_e2d6bd74 | comment |
Insect Gender-Bender: Mansquito has a human-mosquito hybrid killing people and drinking their blood. Problem is it's a mansquito, so he's not growing any eggs and shouldn't require blood at all. While this COULD be written off as the radioactive gunk also changing his gender (if it can make a mammal part-insect, why not?) it enters flat out ridiculous territory when he begins pursuing a WOMAN who has been mutated to a lesser extent. And while even that could be written off as a twofer Gender Bender, the fact that SHE also craves blood completely extinguishes the possibility for any amusing Fanon theories. | |

Mix-and-Match Critters: Though it didn't start there, the relative success of Sharktopus has prompted a noticeable increase in beasties that combine one or more existing creatures: Piranhaconda, Whalewolf, Pteracuda, etc. | |

Science Is Bad | |
| Syfy Channel Original Movie / int_f68664dc | comment |
Science Is Bad: A disproportionate number of these movies seem to advance the theory that science inevitably leads to the creation of giant mutated animals, and explosions are the only thing that can rectify such mistakes. | |
