Some great ones in here. Tucker and Dale for me. I remember being at my brother's house and him casually putting it on, with me not knowing what it was. Honestly, was blown away. So funny. Been a while, I've got to go watch it again.
The original FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) may not be as laugh-out-loud funny as SHAUN OF THE DEAD - it's heavier on the scares than the laughs - but I think it's as close to perfect as a horror-comedy film can get.
Much, much older one: Theater of Blood. 1973. Vincent Price and Diana Rigg with gruesome (but hilarious) murders based on Shakespeare plays. Really badly cut for TV over the years, but if you can find a fully intact one, well worth a look.
Tucker & Dale is a personal favorite! Stumbled across it in the early Netflix streaming days, go-to rainy day pickmeup
Yeah any of these would be part of my rainy day pick-me-ups.
It really took horror-comedy to a new level, and the idea of showing the movie from the "killers" perspective was awesome
Evil Dead 2 and Shaun of the Dead for sure. Idol Hands is another one I like
Not seen that one so will check it out.
Tucker & Dale is so great.

They are all on rotation for me when I need cheering up.
Only one I haven't seen was Deadstream. Look forward to checking it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
Yeah, that one isn't really overly known, but I love it, has a good blend of silly comedy and horror. Hope you like it.
So glad to see tucker and dale on here!

And it's got the coolest theme song:

"The Fearless Vampire Killers". From 1967.
The guy jumping headfirst into the woodchipper by accident in Tucker and Dale will never not be funny, lol
Dear God, No comes to mind. That ending made the movie for me.
The Japanese scene in Cabin in the Woods never ceases to make me laugh.

Betcha didn't know there's a K-horror remake of Tucker and Dale Versus Evil called "Handsome Guys".
I did not! Will have to check it out - thanks.

Thank you.
I could suggest the 1999 film Idle Hands, but as an adult now, the humour might be a bit too juvenile to really land.
I will add it to my list still - thanks
Do the gremlins films count? I recently saw Braindead for the first time and that was fabulously fun and splattery.
Yeah Gremlins would count too. Good shout
Great list, these are all great movies
Thanks Moppy
You forgot Showgirls.
