Horror Hybrids!
 

Ok, theres tons of threads asking what the best horror movies are, and this one is the same. Only different. What do you think are the best horror hybrids? Like horror/comedy(Ghostbusters), horror/superhero(Spawn, Hellboy), horror/action(Underworld, Van Helsing). Feel free to post ur faves, i love them all!

My fave is probably one of the superhero ones, especially the ones I mentioned, but Ghostbusters rules too! And Underworld!

I quite liked Peter Jackson’s the Frighteners as a comedy horror, it is pretty underrated!
... Most modern "Horror", is of the hybrid type now i.e. action/horror etc...

yah, i guess ur right....but i thik i'll check out that one that u mentioned, sounds good!

i think i would go with horror/comedy. cemetary man and dead alive are both great examples.

Scary Movie 2

I have to agree these are both great movies!!!
... Dead alive is known as Braindead over here for some reason!!!
House 2 is a funny hybrid movie
The Hong kong movie "Rouge" is a great horror/romance hybrid
"Mr Vampire" and "Close encounters of the spooky kind", are really good horror/kung fu hybrids!!!!!
"Versus" Is a fun Horror/Ganster movie hybid ... well Zombie/yakuza!!!!

Feral Cat

Ghostbusters

Addams Family

LOL! How could i forget the Adams Familly! Thats probably my fave! Thanks 4 remiding me jay o2waster!

probably Ghostbusters

Monster Squad
Gremlins 1 and 2

i was looking through my grandma's entertainemnt stand and i found a bunch of gremlins records

braindead was renamed dead alive for the us market, probably because there was another film recently released called brain dead.

rouge = best film jackie chan has produced, damn shame about leslie cheung.
mr vampire another classic, have you seen any others in the series?

have you sen the dead and the deadly, another sammo hung horror/comedy/martial arts film

BEETLEJUICE MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite movies ever. Frighteners is great too!

Would Gothic count..... not a horror but about horror.

is Club Dread any good?

I can't wait to rent that tuesday

o and Bubba Ho tep

I just bought the frighteners, its a really great movie...

i wanna see bubba ho tep but my mom keeps sayin the previews on tv look stupid

What the hell is that? I've never heard of it. Maybe that is a good thing?

How could I forget Phantom of the Paradise!

Most popular here in the Peg! No shit! Still love the soundtrack!

Hell yeah I forgot about Beetlejuice, fuckin awesome movie. Michael Keaton PWNED in this.

Also anyone ever seen My Boyfriends Back? A zombie/comedy, it was pretty funny.

I can't wait to see Shaun Of The Dead.

... I can't belive some one else has seen "Rouge", I never see it talked about ... I am not one for romance, but I loved this, it makes "Ghost" seem like weak drivell ... oh yeah it is!!!

I have not seen, the "Daed and the Deadly" ... Would you recommend it Zwoti as I will have to buy it, its just not gonna be in Blockbuster!!!!

i recommend dead and the deadly, especially if you enjoyed mr vampire, & the spooky enconters films.

Thanks I'll pop I'll try and get it this week!!!

A Chinese ghost story is also good ... with Mother tounge, as is the Bride with the white hair, but I think my favourite in the genre is Zu Warriors, I love that movie!!!

... Army of Darkness is one of the best horror/comedy hybrids, the one liners just don't stop!!!!

Hey guys, I've got to start writing down these movies, haven't seen them but I am so sick of mainstream stuff!

Do you have a list of obscure great ghost movies to give to me? I think I'll just start buying. Opinions are so good here, can pretty much trust the recs.!

hi
 

my boobs are bigger than yours!

ahh yes, the wonders of tsui hark, hong kong's answer to spielberg.

I still stand by this one: Extreme Ops. Best Action/Horror movie...the whole movie was a horrific tragedy, full of make believe action.

i never seen that

Try "Rouge", its a nice Ghost story!!!

Those others that Zwoti and I just mentioned are Kung-fu/horror hybrids, so it depends if you like Kung-fu in your movies or not! They have a lot of wire fighting like you get in the Matrix or Crouching Tiger, only better!!!

As for recomendations of cult and foriegn films in general it depends what you like, some of the Italian horror is pretty good, like Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento's stuff!!!!

I think Zwoti has seen more cult horror than me, he seems to know his stuff!!!

How about some classics, Roman Polanski's "Fearless vampire hunters", comedy horror and the classic 1974 "Legend of the 7 golden vampires" which stars Peter Cushing and is a Hammer/Golden Harvest Uk/Hong Kong horror/kung fu which has kung fu Vampires and Zombies ... I love it!!!!

fearless vampire killers (aka dance of the vampires) is a brilliant horror/comedy...just love it and the original jewish vampire joke.

you say the nicest things..

and then you spoil it, wrong bava, pick the father over the son any day

Thats true, but I do like Demons, and having just watched it again I had that in mind!!!!!

Have you seen any of Mario's Peplum films???

then you're forgiven, though i do like a blade in the dark......can anyone spell hyprocrite.

Talking of the farther ...

Herules in the centre of the earth aka Hercules vs. the vampires

a sword and sandal/horror hybrid ... now you don't see that evryday!!!

Peplems are funny I watched "Hercules, Ulysees and Samson" the other day its not horror, but it is a cult classic! Samson and Hercules meet up and admire each others mighty strenghth while knocking over polystyrine temples!!! YAY:D

Thanks everyone wrote everything down. Don't mind some kung fu stuff, loved Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, but like real old fashoin ghost stories. I like them to be something I might believe could be real. That gets under my skin.

Love Polanski so I will check this one out,and will look for movies with the directors mentioned!:)
