but having some skinny - or fat comedy relief idiot poorly written character is just distracting and counter productive to the horror..

I totally agree, though there arent that many horror films like that. ED2 is one of few. Re-Animator had some well-handled comedy, and the recent Dead and Breakfast also handled it quite well, IMO. Ive yet to see Shaun of the Dead, but supposedly it succeed as well. What are some others?
