Die Laughing: 50+ of the Most Hilarious Horror Movies

From:  The Backlot
 It’s that time of year again – pumpkins line porches, bags of candy fill the drugstore shelves, and children everywhere are encouraged by their parents to ring the bells of strangers’ houses and demand handouts.

Halloween season also is the one time of year where it’s pretty much impossible to avoid horror movies. If you’re a horror fan like I am, there’s really no change in your viewing habits because you were probably going to be watching Suspiria and The Abominable Dr. Phibes tonight anyway. But if you’re only a seasonal horror fan, it can be a bit daunting to navigate the sea of bloody entertainments that flood the airwaves this time of year.

To that end, we’ve put together a list of over 50 horror movies that are as funny as they are scary (whether intentionally or by accident). Hopefully with the list below as a reference, even the most horror-averse moviegoer can have a Halloween movie night appropriate for the season without having to resort to the umpteenth re-watch of Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

WHY YOU WON’T FIND VAMPIRES SUCK ON THIS LIST

We’ve hand-picked these films because they’re all actually good enough to be worth watching (sorry, Teen Wolf!). And to make the list easier to navigate, we have assembled them according to type, with ratings for type each indicating the laughs-to-screams ratio viewers can expect.

So grab a candy apple, check it for razor blades, and let’s get this party started!

 HORROR SPOOFS

At the silly end of the spectrum lie horror spoofs – movies that have no interest in actually scaring anyone, and in fact aim to point out how ridiculous the conventions of horror movies actually are. These movies are usually pretty stupid, but that’s okay – we’re supposed to be laughing at the gags, not analyzing their subtext. So they rank about here:


Oh, also: Most horror spoofs are terrible. Here are a few notable exceptions:

Pandemonium
1982

This wackadoodle horror spoof from Alfred Sole (the director of the cult horror classic Alice, Sweet Alice) stars Judge Reinhold, Carol Kane, Tommy Smothers, Paul Reubens (pre-Pee Wee), Eileen Brennan, Eve Arden, Tab Hunter, Phil Hartman and more in a story of a series of murders that take place at a cheerleading camp. It’s broad, ridiculous, and totally awesome – think Airplane! with cross-dressing killers and hilarious murder scenes.

Check out this gem of a scene that spoofs Carrie:
