The Best-Ever Horror Comedies! By ariannafelidae  [40 more lists]

I feel like this film made it's own genre. Nearly everyone has seen it and those that haven't probably never will. It's not for the prude or conservative, that's for sure.

If you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead yet, get off your computer, put some pants and shoes on, go to your local Walmart/Barnes & Noble/FYE and buy it right this minute. Unless you don't like zombies. And then you can get the heck away from me.

I love the 'rules' that the main kid in this has. For instance: 'Rule #8: Get a kickass partner.' This movie was just so much fun to watch. That goes for mostly any Woody Harrelson movie, but you add zombies and twinkies and it is just GOLD. I really hope they make a sequel. :)

Listen, I know this is technically Sci-Fi. But, based on everything else on the list, it just FEELS right. One of my favorite Tim Burton films. Jack Nicholson gets 2 roles (who doesn't need to see that?!) and at one point the aliens put Sarah Jessica Parker's head on a dog's body. More, please!

The Addams Family movies always pop into my mind when I think of 'Horror/Comedy'. How can they not? Gothic humor is lost on some people, but these films (the first two) pulled it off quite well. Also Raul Julia as Gomez = WIN.

The Joss Whedon-written original film that inspired the 7-year-running hit TV show. If you liked the show (or Whedon-we are legion) and haven't seen this yet, you really should. It's Kristy Swanson as Buffy, but you can tell from the dialogue and the attitude that it's the exact same character. Also, you get to see that whole school-burning-down thing she always mentioned in the show!

Just watched this again recently and I'd forgotten how much I loved this film. Low-budget in such a way that you're liable to turn it off and not give it a chance if you're not used to watching that type of film. Let me be the first (or millionth) to tell you now-sit this one through. By the end of the movie you will be dying to show it to someone you know. Just accept it.

Fabulous additions to the cast in this just-as-great-as-the-first sequel: David Krumholtz as Wednesday Addams' (Christina Ricci) love interest and Joan Cusack. Who doesn't need more Joan Cusack? Mercedes McNab also has a role instead of a cameo in this one. :)

Did you know that the guy who played Jerry (the vampire neighbor) in this also played Prince Humperdink in 'The Princess Bride' and voiced Jack Skellington in 'A Nightmare Before Christmas'? His name is Chris Sarandon. Just thought you should know.

It's a musical with Rick Moranis about a flesh-eating plant who demands to be FED. What more could you possibly want?

Please just watch this. I promise you that your life will be better for it. It might not be the solution to world hunger, but isn't laughing supposed to add years to your life? Good for the soul, this.

Gory. Wicked gory. They do those fun character intros where the film stops for a few seconds every time they introduce a character and you get a little bio about them. I enjoy those. Jason Mewes has a bit part in it-all in all, it was just a great monster flick.

This is another of those 'So...this was definitely made in the 80s' kind of movies. A bunch of small-town kids who believe in monsters have to team up against the classics (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc.) to save the day. Think 'The Goonies' vs movie monsters and that's pretty much what this film is like. Good times all around!

If you like all of those franchise horror films (Halloween, Nightmare on Elm St, Friday the 13th, etc) then see this movie. It's straight up an homage to that specific genre of horror. The main guy lives in a world where the characters from aforementioned movies are real and he is aspiring to be the next big one. This is his story.

Just so you know, I'm humming the theme song to this right now. You should, too. Do you know how to hum in harmony? Because that would be sweet.

I read somewhere that they're remaking this. We'll see.

Gene Wilder and his wife, Gilda Radner, as well as the always-funny Dom Deluise make up the awesome cast in this laugh-out-loud comedy about, you guessed it: a haunted honeymoon!

I haven't seen this one yet, and I'm not sure why. Everyone who has, has told me, 'Just watch it'. They won't even give anything away (not that I'm complaining- I HATE spoilers!)! So, that tells me it is something to look forward to. :)

Idle hands are the devil's playground and in this film, one pothead's (Devon Sawa) hand becomes very, very possessed. As bodies start popping up, he's got to figure out how to stop his own hand from killing people! (Also stars Seth Green and Jessica Alba) One of my all-time favorites!

This is just sitting on my shelf...waiting to be watched. Almost like it's watching me. I wonder if it is...

Billy Zane and Jada Pinkett (pre-Will Smith). I know, right? Weird? No. Awesome. I liked it. You may not. You should go find out and then let me know.

I love titles like this. You just know what you're getting into with it. About an apprentice grave-robber and his adventures with all sorts of folks. Oh, and zombies. And Ron Perlman. I loved this film.

Low-budget in that way where the acting and story are done well enough that you forget halfway through. Robert Englund has a great role in this. Also-the cover art is awesome because it looks NOTHING like the actual character! Win!

A British comedy horror film in which two lackluster guys stumble upon a cursed town. All females in this town turn into lesbian vampires on their 18th birthday and one of the guys is supposed to be descended from an ancient vampire hunter. Totally worth whatever you pay to watch it!

Broken Lizard! I don't understand why so many people don't like their movies. E.G: Super Troopers, Beerfest, Slammin' Salmon...I guess it's a very specific type of humor and if you don't like the actors (as the same 5 actors always appear as different characters in each of their films) you won't like the movies they make. That said, this is a great spoof (ish) take on the 'there's a killer in our midst' movies.

I think I'm just going to buy this. I haven't seen it anywhere to rent, yet, and by all accounts it is absolutely knee-slappin' hilarious. I could use some knee-slappin'.

Beaver Cleaver meets Dawn of the Dead (the original Romero :D one). The zombie war has been fought and won and now you can have a zombie of your very own! Genius on SO many levels.

Honestly don't remember much about this one other than I saw it, it was low budget and it made me laugh. Fond memories...Plus: it's called 'Trailer Park of Terror'. So- ya know.

Not really low-budget, but everyone I tell about this hasn't seen it and it's a crying shame! Prom + Zombies. I shouldn't need to say more, but I'm gonna. It stars that funny kid you recognize but can't put a name to, has old cliches AND new plot devices and the effects, acting and overall story were very well done. Great date movie.

Do you like zombies? Do you like strippers? Do you like Robert Englund? If you answered 'YES' -this is the movie for YOU!! (Can you hear the psycho commercial voice-yeah, I totally said it like that while I was typing it!)

A low-budget film from New Zealand that is about zombie sheep. It was SO clever and well done! I popped it in thinking I was in for some major cheese, but it blew me away. Too much fun, here. Definitely check this one out!

What aging lady doesn't want to find a solution to growing old? Definitely the two leading ladies (Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn) in this film. They seek out a woman with a solution to mortality so that they may be young and beautiful forever! Bruce Willis stars as the very homely, not-much-of-a-backbone-kind-of-guy stuck between them.

Another campy movie with a capital 'C'. Someone finds a strange substance literally bubbling out of the ground, tastes it-and decides to sell it to the masses. Next thing you know, everyone's obsessed with eating 'the stuff' in a body-snatcher-type-way. Truly a movie to see before you die. Unless you're a total snob. Then you can leave. Now.

I don't really remember this one, except that I enjoyed it, it was funny and there were zombies. That's all I got. Ooh, also: filmed in Ireland. Yay.

Has anyone else seen this? I've started looking for movies with Jason Mewes (Jay of Jay & Silent Bob from most of the Kevin Smith films) in it specifically because this one surprised me so much. It's not going to be the best movie you've ever seen, but it's better than half the crap being released in theatres right now. Just sayin'.

I had to put this on here. A (very messed up) friend of mine made me see this years ago and I still get weirded-out just thinking about it. One of the most strange (can you think of any more words for strange? Because they ALL apply!) and utterly disturbing films you will ever see. Ever.

Another title that tells you what you're gonna get. It's ridiculous and silly and scary and funny. If you expected a masterpiece, then you were wrong, but Sam Jackson uses the F word a lot and there really are snakes on a plane.

This was a phenomenally good vampire flick. I realize there are a million out there, but this one was well done and funny and had a ton of great rock-star cameos. Oh, and Malcom McDowell as an eye-patch wearing vampire hunter. So...there's that.

About a bunch of not-popular nerds who want to resurrect Kurt Cobain using Voodoo, but instead end up dying and becoming zombies, themselves. Mishaps and shenanigans ensue.

CAMPY. Cammppppy. It's supposed to be campy, so if you don't like jokes that are so obvious they sit up and slap you in the jaw, stay far away from this one. If, on the other hand, you can let your guard down every once in a while and remember that at some point in your life you were a kid, ENJOY! Silly, silly, silly movie.
