I love the comedy/horror sub-genre. It's pretty hard to pull it off though because there aren't a lot of them out there. Evil Dead 2 and Dead-Alive top my list and are both hysterical, the laughing deer and giddy baby zombie will always hold a special place in my heart :p . Your right however, movies that are so bad they are funny don't really do anything for me; I just see them for what they are ... pathetic.
PS- Maybe it's just me but I didn't think Lake Placid was trying to make a joke of itself. I thought they took a serious tone with the movie, sure there were a few laughs but not enough to warrant it an attempt at pure comedy.
