Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
The Exorcist, I laughed my socks off at it. Proper funny movie.

Tremors is awesome. Love Tremors.
Eight Legged Freaks is pretty good too but it's more of a parody of 1950s B-movies than an actual horror.

Not really seen any other horror comedies though.

Yeah, I've read a lot of good stuff about Tucker & Dale. I'll order it next time I go to the DVD shop.
Oh Severance was great indeed. The foot cut off goes in the thing shot was nice.
Looking forward to see Grabbers. Trailer is quite cool. :)

This question is the perfect parallel to asking me to go outside and point-out my favorite dog-turd in my yard. Kidding, mostly, a little, well, kind of, we've actually seen a compilation of enjoyable horror comedies. I think it's best that I elaborate on that, we've seen a compilation of horror movies with humorous antagonists because I'm not really a fan of things such as Zombie Land, Evil Dead, and so on. However, I did enjoy the humorous performances for the Chucky, and Freddy characters. Mind you, I recognize the same characters that I am praising went onto make a couple of blasphemies here and there, but ah well. As for Scream, which was listed by Film Maker, I liked them, but I didn't really find them funny enough to be considered a horror comedy, well, maybe the first one, but not as much the rest.

I forgot about Slither... more of a Tremors wannabe though. Modern day nod to the 1950s B-Movie.


I'd say Scream is more of a satire and parody of the slasher flick made by the guy who pretty much invented the slasher flick, which gives it an edge over the predecessors. It's also why I don't get Scary Movie and the sequels... a parody of a parody... bit of a miss hit really.
Scream has lots of of comedy though... so I'd guess it's a comedy horror to an extent.

Wish I could. I really didn't care for that at all.

Maybe. Though I laughed more at Schindler's List than I do at most H'Wood comedies, but I'm fairly sure that's not a drama comedy.

Basket Case which has been mentioned. Also, Arachnophobia. I love that movie though it still scares me at times.

Shaun of the Dead by miles. Scream can be viewed as a comedy so I'll put it up there.

Hi kXnPunk,

I was wondering if this is really the Dance of the Dead that you were thinking of? This poster is for an 2005 episode of the Master Horror series.
I haven't seen it but what I've read it doesn't seem to be a horror comedy,
but Dance of the Dead (2008) certainly is.

Which film were you referring to?

Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
Scary Movie,because i love comedies like that...is there really crazier horror comedy that that...Shaun of The Dead is good,but imo not even close to Scary Movie.

I'm sure this will be fun.

No mention of Creepshow, really? No other horror-comedy can compare, every vignette is pure gold.

I haven't seen a whole lot either, but I highly recommend Bubba Ho-Tep, Army of Darkness and Fido.

This thread has just added more to my 'to watch' list.

I need to see:
Jennifer's Body (2009)
Student Bodies (1981)
Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010)

These are the best movies:
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Zombieland (2009)

But I need to mention "Sweeney Todd (2007)", one of my favorites.
Why wasn't that mentioned???

honeykid 02-03-13 07:38 PM

Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
Because it's a musical? Because it's crap? I don't know, it could be a number of things.

Camo 02-03-13 11:42 PM

I don't know if it can be classed as a horror-comedy but i just will for the sake of this thread and say Heathers (1988).

lol, it was awesome!

I remember seeing it at the cinemas, not knowing it was a musical. The gasps when Johnny Depp was singing on the boat, I don't think anyone was expecting that. Strange that it wasn't advertised as a musical, they made it look like a straight forward horror in a previews.

This is tough, but if I had to choose it would be:

1. Vampire's Kiss
2. Army of Darkness
3. Shaun of the Dead
4. Dead Alive

The Quiet Family: It's a Korean film about a family who owns a hunting lodge in a remote area, whose customers always happen to end up dying and they try to hide the dead bodies because they don't want bad publicity for their lodge!


Zombieland: Great film that contains a mixture of gore and laughs and some really good young actors like Jesse Eisenbergh and Emma Stone.

Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
Re-Animator and Shaun of the Death would be my top two favorites out of the horror comedies that I have watched. Interestingly, none of these movies managed to make into my top 126 favorites list.

I liked this one, but the Takashi Miike adaptation is much funnier in my opinion. Maybe because it's partly a musical.

Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
I'd say Ghostbusters kinda counted... it wasn't originally a family movie, it was intended to be an adult comedy with hints of horror and frights...

Shempy 02-21-13 05:10 PM

Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
Evil Dead 2, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, The Cottage, Slither, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Dead and Breakfast, Scream 4, Bride of Chucky, Hatchet, Doghouse, Drag Me To Hell (had me howling with laughter), Feast, Detention, Zombieland, Bubba Ho Tep, Idle Hands

Sorry but I like comedy horror a lot.

Feyd2Black 05-09-13 11:38 AM

Re: What is your favorite Horror comedy?
 
Personal favorites are Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, Re-Animator, Idle hands, Evil Dead 2 & 3, and Brain Dead.

Anyone else watched Juan of the Dead yet? Had some laughs and some excellent zombie scenes, not seen that many zombies on screen without CGI since Dawn!

The Gunslinger45 05-09-13 12:43 PM

I second, third or whatever to:

Zombieland
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2

I liked the very first SCARY MOVIE but I didn't find any of the sequels funny at all.

Loved BRIDE OF CHUCKY...Jennifer Tilly was fabulous!

Can't believe I had to come this far down the thread to find mention of TREMORS...great movie.

Deadite 07-30-13 12:11 PM

Dead Alive/Braindead is certainly one of the best. Jaw-droppingly gory!

BrainDead is brilliant and so is Tucker and Dale Vs Evil.

I thought Tucker and Dale vs. Evil was senseless fun of the highest order.

Cobpyth 08-01-13 07:56 AM

I watched Young Frankenstein last night and it was nothing short of HILARIOUS.

I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of the modern, more gory horror comedies. I still have to see the best ones from that genre, though.

Shaun 11-17-13 03:01 PM

Guess what! It's Shaun of the Dead
Tremors is also quite good. For me it is some kind of little brother of Shaun of the Dead in terms of likeable entertainment and rewatchability. Coincidentally they are both more or less Horror comedies.

Elvira's Haunted Hills, though... although I love her first movie... that movie........ well, run for the hills.
