Depends on how subtle the humour is. I get really pissed of with intentionally funny horror movies. There needs to be some sort of equaltity with the shocks and laughs. Evil Dead 2 and Re-Aminator are fine examples of this. I used to dig Bad Taste, Braindead and Army of Darkness but now I find these movies annoying because they go out of their way to be funny killing the subtlety that could have worked so well with the dark humour of the jokes. Along with Shaun of the Dead (this flick is cool but really overated because all the recycled ideas) these movies forget about the scares on just go over the top with comedy.
Frank Henenlotter is my favorite director for this sort of shit. WAY more darkly funny than anyone and the depravity of a lot of his work really appeals to my sense of humour. But yeh I'm the kinda cat that laughs my ass off thru Fulci flicks.
