Classic Comedy Horror Films

[WelchWitch]

Ok all, I am having a brain freeze and need all the great freaky minds here to help me. The only decent comedy horror movie that I can think of is Gene Wilder in Young Frankstein. I know there is more...heeeellllpppp......I know movies like Ghostbuster, Scream and Scary movie are others but I want a better class of movie play in the background of a party I am throwing. Any thoughts?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (original movie)
Hocus Pocus
Witches of Eastwick??
Nightmare Before Christmas
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Addams Family
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (not sure if that's the right title)
and one of my all-time favorites:
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

Oh yeah...

Beetlejuice
Little Shop of Horrors
Edward Scissorhands

Dunno if this is what you&#39;re looking for!

One of my favorites is Shaun of the Dead. Though near the end it gets kinda serious.

Hiya, WW. I don&#39;t know how "funny" these actually are (Young Frankenstein is the ultimate for me), but these are horror comedies that haven&#39;t been named:

Love At First Bite (with George Hamilton, the Tannest Man on Earth)
Saturday the 14th (with Richard Benjamin and Jeffrey Tambor)
Creepshow (hilarious to me at least! "Just tell it to call you...Billie!")
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (I LOVE this movie)
Critters (This is just plain fun no matter how you slice it)
The Fearless Vampire Killers (or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are In My Neck)
Motel Hell (cannibalistic good times with Rory Calhoun and Nancy Parsons <-remember her from Porky&#39;s?))
Elvira&#39;s Haunted Hills (Elvira spoofs those old Roger Corman and Hammer Films gothics that I adore)
The Return of the Living Dead (This one still makes me laugh, &#39;though I&#39;ve seen it a jillion times-and it&#39;s got some authentic scary moments to boot!)
That&#39;s all I can think of, off the top o&#39; my noggin, except for maybe some of those Roger Corman gothics like The Raven and The Comedy of Terrors (with Vincent Price AND Peter Lorre!)

Another classic scary comedy is Haunted Honeymoon, if you like Gene Wilder movies you&#39;ll love this one.

Yeah-and Dom DeLuise is pretty darned funny in this one. It&#39;s also got Gilda Radner, but it&#39;s kind of a waste of her talent, really. She doesn&#39;t really get to strut her comedic stuff much except in that one musical number, "Ballin&#39; the Jack". I believe this was Gilda&#39;s last movie, come to think of it. *sigh*

I was thinking her last movie was that piece o&#39; crap Hanky Panky with her hubby Gene Wilder. But I just checked IMDB and you&#39;re right! I don&#39;t know how I inverted those two in the timespace continuum...HH was in 1986 and HP was in &#39;82.

I don&#39;t think she really shined in the movies as much as on SNL http://www.octoberlounge.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif . Sometimes I feel sad for Gene Wilder, losing his wife and then Madeline Kahn...one of his greatest co-stars and also Marty Feldman.

Oh...what were we talking about? Oh yeah...comedy horror films! Back to our regularly scheduled topic!
