The Top 32 Horror Comedies of All Time

Posted on by

Den of Geek posted their choices for The Top 32 Horror Comedies of All Time.

Of the 32 films they selected, I’ve seen eighteen.  Here they are with my thoughts on each…

  1. Spook Busters (1946): The Bowery Boys always felt to me like they wanted to grow up and be Abbott and Costello.  Still, I enjoyed their films as a kid and this was a fun one… as Bowery Boys movies go.

  2. Fearless Vampire Killers or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck (1967): I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve tried to watch this one all the way through.  I’ve never made it yet.

  3. Fright Night (1985): Now we’re cooking!  I liked the mix of comedy and horror in this one!

  4. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978): I’ve always thought this was too stupid to be more than a Saturday Night Live skit.  Of course the cult popularity proves me wrong.

  5. Cabin in the Woods (2012): What an inventive, crazy movie!  I want to see it again!

  6. Scream (1996): I really got a kick at how it took all the horror cliches and winked at the audience as they played out.

  7. Phantom of the Paradise (1974): This is another one that I’ve never been able to get through.

  8. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975): I saw this at a Midnight Showing with an audience armed with all the props.  A bit too kinky for me then and now.

  9. Shaun of the Dead (2004): I like my zombie stories serious but I really like Shaun of the Dead!

  10. Arachnophobia (1990): I’ve only seen this once but I really liked it much more than I thought I would.  I’d like to see it again to see if it holds up.

  11. Monsters Inc. (2001): This is a fun one.

  12. Beetlejuice (1988): Who doesn’t like Beetlejuice?

  13. The Lost Boys (1987): I liked The Lost Boys, but think it’s a bit over-rated.

  14. Ghostbusters (1984): This is one I don’t care for.

  15. Young Frankenstein (1974): Arguably the best film on the list.

  16. Zombieland (2009): Even better than Shaun of the Dead!

  17. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948): Perhaps the best movie on the list!

  18. An American Werewolf in London (1981): I’m not a fan, but most folks are.
