I think the humour in Re-Animator was completely intentional. Combs will always be Herbert West to me, and those films will always hold a special place in my heart. The logical evolution of the mad scientist trope, and it has gone down in film history.

I still have to see Beyond Re-Animator. I have seen some of Comb's stuff. Actually the place I know him from is some of the Star Trek shows because he has played several characters on different incarnations of the show. I highly recommend The Frighteners as well (interestingly, even my philosophy teacher loved this movie), it is really good. I was not entirely sure if it was intentional because one of the makers said that it was not, but that they were laughing all the time and thus it came out as funny. Again, I definitely agree those films (or at least the ones I have seen so far) were really good.
