Indeed, Mark Hamill has been in quite a few horror movies (you left out "Black Magic Woman," although I could scarcely blame you for doing so), and as far as I know, all of them are BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. Unfortunately for him, he has a real affection for horror (and sci-fi, hence the numerous non-SW sci-fi flicks he's done, and like his horror flicks, they are all BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD), plus he apparently suffers from what I call Louis Gosset Jr. Syndrome: a bizarre gravitation to the direst of crap.
"What Lies Beneath" is also notable for being the movie Harrison Ford exchanged the lead in "Traffic" for. It's pretty dumb, but enjoyable, if only because it gave Ford the rare opportunity to play the bad guy, which he does by glowering a lot.
"The Haunting" was so bad, I couldn't even laugh at it. It was this flick that made Liam Neeson want to quit acting, not, as was widely reported, TPM.
I haven't inflicted "She's Back" on myself. Carrie did a terrible sci-fi flick, "The Time Guardian," a couple years before "She's Back" -- she admitted in an interview that she took the part in "The Time Guardian" because she got a free trip to Australia, where it was filmed, out of it. I have to wonder if she did "She's Back" because she got something out of it, but then, much of Carrie's non-SW filmography is pretty crappy.
