Horror Comedies
 

So, I was wondering what cool horror comedies exist around there.
I saw, well, the Scary Movies series, which I didn't enjoyed that much...
But I really enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland and Tucker and Dale vs Evil, so I wanted something similar to those three.

If there's already a thread like this, re-direct me and if possible, delete this one then.

Here are a few of my fav's, Most of them aren 't straight comedy/horror, but they have a really wicked sense of humor to them:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre II
Doghouse
Bad Taste
Dead Alive
Toxic Avenger
Class of Nuke Em High
Poultrygeist
The Evil Dead series
Bubba Ho-Tep
Slither
Blood DIner
Cannibal: The Musical
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Feast
The Stuff
The Tripper
House
Leprechaun in the Hood
Tremors 1 and 2
NIghtmare City

Whatever you do, do NOT watch Terrorvision or any horror/comedy with Leslie Nielsen.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check them.
I've seen the first Evil Dead, don't consider it that' much comedy to be honest.
And I've seen Tremors, but I can't recall it enough to make an opinion.

I always liked The Addams Family was pretty funny

You're right! I should've specified Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness instead of just writing "The EVil Dead series". I tried to save myself a little time typing by just lumping them all together.

Now that I think about it, Nightmare City isn't really a comedy either, but it's pretty funny regardless.

Another good one is Lake Placid

zombieland : ]

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Fido
The Cabin in the Woods
Night of the Creeps
The Monster Squad
The Old Dark House (1932)
Re-Animator
Return of the Living Dead
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Young Frankenstein

I definitely, definitely recommend Killer Klowns. Also, I thought that Dead Snow was pretty funny.

Tremors and Behind The Mask?

Those aren't comedies. Behind The Mask is satirical but not comedic and Tremors isn't comedic at all, at least not the first one.

One i'd suggest that i haven't seen anyone mention is Hide and Creep.

Tremors is not a slapstick comedy, but it definitely has a subtle humor to it.

And you're right, Behind the Mask isn't a comedy, but it's such a great, unknown flick that it deserves as much mention as possible,

Yeah i'll agree with that and i love Behind The Mask. I've actually given money to help them make the sequel Before The Mask.

if you want to go real old school

Alternatively, you could purchase Rifftrax for movies that you've already seen. I know that's not exactly what you're looking for but it's a nice mix of horror and comedy.

Gotta disagree with that... It's a blatant parody of 50's budget sci- fi and every line is practically delivered with a wink to camera. Comedy gold.

Just because a movie casually rips on 50's sci-fi doesn't make it a comedy and i've never seen it that way at all. The third one sure but not the 1st and 2nd. For a movie to be a comedy it has to be....comedic. It actually has to be funny. There's definitely an air of humor to the movie but it's not geared towards hilarity and actually does take itself seriously while also having a sense of humor. It's a horror movie with some comedy in it....not a horror comedy.

But hey that's just my opinion and you're entitled to yours.

sleepaway camps are funny... also human cnetipede is pretty comical LOL

It doesnt 'casually rip off' 50's sci- fi, its a tongue in cheek homage to classic sci- fi, its also really fucking funny... A subtle comedy is still a comedy. The fact that you don't see it as a comedy or don't think its 'comedic' is besides the point. If I applied your rationale to comedy then anything I didn't find funny or deem to have enough comedic moments in wouldn't fit into the genre of comedy, which seems a little obtuse.

But hey, that's just my opinion and you're entitled to yours. ;)

You really think Behind the Mask isn't comedic? Sure it's a satire, but satire and comedy are kin. You could make the same argument that half of these other suggestions aren't comedic, either, then.

Terror Toons
The Gingerdead Man
Rumpelstiltskin
Pinnochio's Revenge
Ghoulies

(none of these are great movies but they might be worth a watch)

Love At First Bite (1979)
Young Frankenstein (1977)
The Monster Squad

I actually thought the first Evil Dead had a lot of dark humour to it like that tree with sexual intentions. I find humour in a lot of horror but especially these:

Street Trash
Cast A Deadly Spell
Witch Hunt
Brain Damage
Frankenhooker
Basket Case
Bad Biology
Society
Creepshow 1 and 2
The Monster Club
Night Of The Creeps
Night Of The Comet
City Of The Living Dead
The New York Ripper
