My favorite horror films are all comedies. And there's only 4 of them. :P In no particular order:

Cemetery Man
Evil Dead 2
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein
Ichi The Killer (this isn't really a horror movie at all, but some people seem to think it is, so I put it on here)

Of course, I'm also a very big fan of Asian horror films, but most of them tend to blend together for me since I usually watch between 2-4 at a time. :joy:

I didn't want to count comedies, really. But if I did, Evil Dead II does crush it's predecessor.

Heh, Cemetery Man is confusing as fuck, but its also strangely hilarious at the same time. I think that James Rolfe once made a short film that was inspired by the whole "undead rise on every 7th day" concept of that movie.
Wow, I'm surprised someone else here has seen it! Very cool. :joy:

I love that movie because it combines hilarious dark comedy with disturbing surrealism. Almost all of my favorite films contain at least one of those elements. ;)

I don't think I could pull a list out myself, but I'd probably consider the original Nosferatu my personal favorite horror film.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

M, Nosferatu, and Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Don't want to come off as some kind of anorak that can only enjoy shit made before my grandparents were born, but I just think those set the standard that horror hasn't managed to top so far. The old and grainy atmosphere, the grey characterization, the macabre direction; all of it was masterfully planned.

Oh, M. I forgot about that for some reason, heh. I think it counts more as a thriller, along with Psycho, though at the same time, they set the groundworks for horror moreso than any other films.

I guess those are my favorites, along with Nosferatu. If I had to pick a more recent film for my fav though... probably Night of the Living Dead.

That one might have my favorite Dracula, but I go with the remake by a TINY bit.

How so?
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Knowing you, Foggle, I'm surprised that you haven't already watched it yet.

And yes, its a brilliant mixture of comedy and horror. Actually I never found it to be all that scary, though on a more serious level it does have the best werewolf transformation scene EVER done in cinema (no crappy CGI, but just good old-fashioned make-up and special effects that look surprisingly convincing, even by today's standards).

Speaking of horror-comedy, how about that Young Frankenstein?

Absolutely love it. Haven't seen it in ages, though.

Oh yeah... (D'uh!)

Actually, when so many people tell me the first movie is funny- I don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Agreed. It's kind of cheesy, sure, but it's actually quite well done overall.
