20 Horror Comedies You Need to Watch

"Most horror movies are inherently ridiculous. They usually ask us to believe in things that aren't possible, that flout the rules of reality, and to become so invested in these fictional worlds that we feel legitimate fear over what happens. Maybe that's why I prefer horror movies that embrace that ridiculousness and intentionally try to make us laugh over ones that try to play it straight? (And maybe that's why I edit a comedy section instead of, say, a movies section?) There's a lot of room to move around on the horror comedy spectrum, sliding between laughs and scares, and these 20 movies show the full range of possibilities within the form. This is far from a comprehensive compendium of horror comedy, but if you're looking for a horror movie with a bit of personality to it, you can't go wrong with any of these films."
