Christ, exhaustive list! I've seen maybe a quarter of those listed.
I've been told Bad Ronald is essential viewing and I still need to see Dark Night of the Scarecrow. I'm pretty sure Let's Scare Jessica to Death was a theatrical release (and it's a great film at that). -

I went through the IMDB lists for MTV movies for the 70s, 80 and 90s, so you are right, it is pretty exhaustive. It's not really a genre per se, but these movies are insanely fun. The only MTV movie that I didn't really go for was the popular, "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark", with Kim Darby.
"Let's Scare Jessica to Death" is a very good movie. I didn't think it was a MTV movie, but that's what IMDB has it listed as. So I went and checked on some other sources and it sounds like IMDB has it wrong.
"Bad Ronald" and "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" are both worth finding.

#32 - "Night Terror"
That's funny you mentioned that movie because I saw it for the first time about three weeks ago. Richard Romanus was creepy.

I did start to watch it, but then I got distracted. I do need to go back and watch the whole thing because it looked like some I would enjoy.
Robert Reed was in it, if I recall.

The Day After
(1983)

This remains the most watched TV Movie in U.S. history. An estimated 100 million Americans watched, and it had a Nielson Share of 62. It was a truly unnerving experience.
If you're interested, here is the attack segment. It makes extensive of stock footage, but is nevertheless very effective and very chilling.

Tucker Carlson defends Russia again:
‘Why is it disloyal to side with Russia
but loyal to side with Ukraine?’
Fox News host has several times said he is ‘confused’ about why the US is siding with democratic Ukraine over authoritarian Russia

Those animated X-Ray skeletons were hilarious.
Awesome! When is this going to happen? All those breeders running around like pathetic little insects.
This was released theatrically outside Nth America. I didn't bother going to see it, because I knew it would be crap and I was right when I finally saw it on vhs. The queue in Auckland went round the block for its first week on a Saturday afternoon.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
