Why is it dumb? Dracula is a popular character. Dracula AD 72 might be more deserving of a questionable cult following. I doubt there is a big fan base for Satanic Rites by comparison.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show gets my vote.
While the movie itself if kinda cheesy and not very professional looking, the soundtrack - the songs and dances - are wonderful. I listen to the audio disc in the car all the time. Just because of the superior quality of the music, I wouldn't vote it dumbest or least deserving of cult status. There is "method" in its "madness"....

No, the fire near the Al-aqsa mosque was of no consequence. A mobile guard booth was damaged but nothing else. link

It will be rebuilt. Only a matter of time but it likely will take years.

On earlier threads I commented on the beauty of movies made in 3-strip Technicolor. And how today's "color" photography is so washed out and blah! Not to mention so dark that the viewer can hardly see what's on the screen? Well, if 3D could be revived, then why not Technicolor? I've heard the only processing plant is in China. I suppose Hollywood might make some kind of arrangement. But, I suppose not. But if studios can spend a fortune on that damned CGI, why can't new Technicolor machinery be installed in California? Yes, this is a foolish question as I'm quite unfamiliar with filmmaking technology. I just believe that a revival of Technicolor would make a big difference in the movie industry. There is zero chance now that cinemas have all but completely converted to digital projection. Distribution of film prints is much more expensive and their limited use is only kept alive by the insistence of limited engagements on film by Christopher Nolan and Q.Tarentino. There was an attempt at reviving dye transfer prints that flopped about twenty years ago. I don't think the chain in China is even running anymore. 3-strip died by the mid-50s and was all about principal photography. It was surplanted by shooting single strip color negative at that time which was more economical and far easier to shoot. Technicolor releases after that, until 1974 were dye transfer prints but not 3-strip. They could have just as vivid colors as before. Dye transfer prints were only economically feasible for large print runs of hundreds of prints. Now that releases on film involves just a few dozen prints it would be far too expensive for anybody to approve.
