2023-09-21 11:32:35 +0000 UTCOh no, "The Burbs" was the whole Time in Front :) Please make a double Watch ;)

2023-09-19 15:07:37 +0000 UTCI was cry-laughing when I watched Tucker and Dale with my wife. Hope it wins! Never seen The Burbs but I'm curious about it!

2023-08-29 19:29:30 +0000 UTCDead Alive! Early Peter Jackson and so over the top.
Neal Romanek
2023-08-28 19:49:28 +0000 UTCHow To Get Ahead In Advertising is actually the best movie of all the actual movies.
Neal Romanek
2023-08-28 19:48:18 +0000 UTCI voted for Dead Alive, but you should also consider Bad Taste. It's Peter Jackson's first film. What it may lack in production value, it makes up for in its gruesomeness and hilarity. BTW, Peter Jackson plays two roles in this film. A few others I would recommend: Deathrow Gameshow, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, and The Toxic Avenger. The first two are likely hard to find. I don't think either are any streaming service, but all 3 are very good.

Jonathan Patrick
2023-08-24 23:45:52 +0000 UTCI totally missed it! It's been way too long since I watched the movie. Another reason why I hope it wins.
Mr. Chumpus
2023-08-24 23:27:52 +0000 UTCI'm so happy The 'Burbs is leading rn :)

2023-08-24 23:04:48 +0000 UTCit is rumoured that the Schmitts teach Cooper to crap in all the neighbours yards ,just so they can maintain the best garden on the street

2023-08-24 23:04:40 +0000 UTCJust in case you missed it, that was a Burbs quote, not me being a wiseass!

2023-08-24 22:36:30 +0000 UTCNo tension. Gotta go with Hanks. Haha
Mr. Chumpus
2023-08-23 22:48:07 +0000 UTCAbout a 9 on the tension scale, Mr. Chumpus.
Future Boy
2023-08-23 22:24:07 +0000 UTCIf the Burbs doesn't win, I gotta claim election fraud
Mr. Chumpus
2023-08-23 21:46:44 +0000 UTCFor the next comedy-horror poll, I'd like to recommend, "The Frighteners," with Michael J Fox and a *lot* of familiar faces. Directed by Peter Jackson just before The Lord of the Rings.
Ron
2023-08-23 18:50:39 +0000 UTCIt's getting trounced in the poll, but I'm sending some love for Witches of Eastwick. Directed by George Miller (Mad Max films), starring Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, and Jack Nicholson in one of his most unhinged performances as Darryl Van Horn.
Look out, Arbogast!
2023-08-23 18:20:11 +0000 UTCMy sister was in the army and has coulrophobia (clown phobia) and on her birthday her squad made her watch this!!! ๐
Catherine LW
2023-08-23 18:14:54 +0000 UTCTucker and Dale is thunder but Tom Hanks biggest sleeper by far is The Burbs.
Nick Thousan
2023-08-23 14:35:04 +0000 UTCI'm rooting for The Burbs - but I have to plant a seed here for you guys and anyone else that hasn't seen it yet - regardless of how well it does on the poll - The People Under the Stairs - sooooooo fucking awesome its ridiculous. If I was rich I would just give you a million dollars to watch it (provided you didn't take the money and run - you'd still have to keep the reaction channel alive of course!)
Sergeant Pepper
2023-08-23 14:01:18 +0000 UTCI know it's old and in black and white, but please please please watch Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein. It's a classic for a reason and it's freakin' hilarious.
Brandi Mills
2023-08-23 13:31:24 +0000 UTCI hope "The Burbs" wins, love this film, one of my favorite Tom Hanks ... love also The Witches of Eastwick
Florian Meier
2023-08-23 02:49:34 +0000 UTCEven though it'll never win a poll, you need to put 'The People Under the Stairs' on the watch list. My dad rented it and I watched it with him and I thought it was really weird, but neat (I was like 8) but then I watched it again years later as an adult and I was able to enjoy it even more, especially I was able to understand the little bit of political satire and who the main villains were supposed to look like lol.
Jeffrey Miller
2023-08-23 01:43:45 +0000 UTCHi Daniel & Sam, may I suggest some lighter fare that is also suitable for October. The films :- (Arsenic & Old Lace 1944 comedy), (Harvey 1950 comedy/fantasy), (Bell, Book & Candle 1958 comedy/romance). The former stars Cary Grant, while the latter 2 star James Stewart. Also, the more modern (Practical Magic 1998 romance/fantasy), starring Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman & Stockard Channing.

2023-08-23 01:23:36 +0000 UTCThe Burbs and Fright Night are both a hell of a lot of fun too. Just hoping to drum up a little more support for Creepshow!
Mike Miner
2023-08-22 23:16:32 +0000 UTCI never considered "Drag Me to Hell" a comedy, although it's a pretty good horror movie. "The Witches of Eastwick" is dated and pretty pointless, unless you just can't resist Jack Nicholson. "Planet Terror" is a lot of fun, and I voted for it. "DeadAlive" might be too gory for YouTube. But my most enthusiastic vote goes to "Tucker & Dale vs Evil," a movie I didn't expect to like, but which is a gem! Just thinking about it makes me laugh!

2023-08-22 23:15:28 +0000 UTCOnce Bitten with Jim Carrey would fit well on here.
David Crabtree
2023-08-22 22:40:01 +0000 UTCA lot of great choices on here, but my absolute favorite of the bunch is The Burbs! Although Monster Squad, Creepshow, and Fright Night aren't far behind.
David Crabtree
2023-08-22 22:38:26 +0000 UTCIf Tucker and Dale is off the table because Daniel has seen it, then let's go Creepshow! Stephen King (not only wrote but is in it!) Leslie Nielsen! Ted Danson! Ed Harris dancing like a total weirdo! Comic books! AND George Romero directing??? More campy, classic Halloween fun I cannot imagine.
Mike Miner
2023-08-22 22:25:36 +0000 UTCStephen Geoffreys as Evil in Fright Night is hilarious ๐
Natureboy Sugaray
2023-08-22 22:24:31 +0000 UTCCorrect, they mentioned it in the header: "NOTE: Daniel has seen Drag Me to Hell & Tucker and Dale vs Evil, so this will only be Sam's first time watching!"
Paul Cox
2023-08-22 21:43:50 +0000 UTCMost likely they both haven't seen any of the 80s movies listed. I'm willing to bet Dan has seen Tucker and Dale. LOL
Mr. Writhms
2023-08-22 21:42:50 +0000 UTCAlways regret having to vote for something one of you has already seen, but Tucker and Dale is totally the best movie here. Hope it wins, even if by a thin margin.
Paul Cox
2023-08-22 21:35:36 +0000 UTCI think I just realized my favorite genre of horror. Lol
ShadowVessel ฯ
2023-08-22 21:34:44 +0000 UTCalot of these movies are more horror with a comedic element here or there... that being said the whole comedy horror genre is pretty sparse....dead alive is more troma than anything..if you're gonna go troma comedy the Poultrygeist has that wrapped up in a musical.
Brian Sevilla
2023-08-22 20:58:07 +0000 UTCI concur. It's been one of my favorite Craven films. It probably won't win but I hope it's reacted to down the line.
EdmanXERO
2023-08-22 20:51:39 +0000 UTCReturn of the Living Dead should be on this poll.
Michael Buhl
2023-08-22 20:48:40 +0000 UTCAbbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein is such a great (maybe even the first?) horror/comedy. Would love for you guys to react to the classic Universal Monster films, they hold up so well
Ken Veader
2023-08-22 20:42:45 +0000 UTCRegardless of the vote, you guys need to watch Creepshow. Although it definitely has comic elements, i'd say it's more straight up horror. Inspired by the EC horror comic books of 1950s. Five tales of terror from the masters of horror Stephen King and George Romero, What's not to like?
Samolina Pilchard
2023-08-22 20:42:09 +0000 UTCAnd that's good enough for me!
mikethemotormouth
2023-08-22 20:41:04 +0000 UTCDirected by the great James Gunn, no less. It was a flick that totally took me by surprise the first time I saw itโjust so enjoyable. CHEERS!
Jason Turner
2023-08-22 20:32:03 +0000 UTCLoveLaurenn has a hilarious reaction to Return of The Living Dead. She had never even heard of it before. She really got into it.
Erwin Quiachon
2023-08-22 20:26:16 +0000 UTCYES! You read my mind Jason! I literally just posted about Slither 1 minute ago, before seeing your comment. So hilarious!
Jango Jenkins
2023-08-22 20:20:59 +0000 UTCReturn of the Living Dead was great! Love that Michael Jackson zombie, lol.
Jango Jenkins
2023-08-22 20:19:47 +0000 UTCTHIS. I think this is a great strategy! Parodies are so much better when you're actually familiar with the source material. Definitely check out the Scary Movie films after you've watched a few of the movies it mocks.
Jango Jenkins
2023-08-22 20:19:07 +0000 UTCI love these polls! You have GOT to see Slither! So funny and creepy.
Jango Jenkins
2023-08-22 20:17:01 +0000 UTCThe Burbs!
fallingupdownthere
2023-08-22 20:14:40 +0000 UTCWas Drag Me To Hell supposed to be a comedy? All I took away from that movie is Ali Lohman canโt act a lick.
fallingupdownthere
2023-08-22 20:14:21 +0000 UTCThe Burbs!!! ""God I love this street.""
Duncan
2023-08-22 20:12:14 +0000 UTCVery smart! Do your research, take your time if you have to watch ten of the horror movies that were parodied in those movies and not react to scary movies one and two until next year that's ok, it'll be well worth it ๐
dieselbeast
2023-08-22 20:06:46 +0000 UTCDrag Me to Hell is terrific Sam Raimi fun. This movie has everything: crazy old gypsy, gypsy curse, hand to hand combat in a sub compact, dentures used as a weapon, funeral crashing, grave robbing, animal sacrifice, two seances that go terribly wrong, demonic haunting, and like a half dozen other things I can't remember off the top of my head. Seriously folks, this one needs to come in first or second
Smooticus
2023-08-22 19:54:53 +0000 UTCtoo many great choices.
Adam Heath
2023-08-22 19:53:09 +0000 UTCWith that movie, we all know what's being smoked in the pipe lol. One of my faves
Jax
2023-08-22 19:51:33 +0000 UTCNot yet! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-08-22 19:49:09 +0000 UTCWe do want to do the Scary Movie films, but I googled which films are parodied from the first film and I don't think we've seen a handful of them, so I wasn't sure if it was worth it yet! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-08-22 19:48:43 +0000 UTCI could have sworn you guys did a reaction to Tucker and Dale vs Evil! This one's got my vote
Smooticus
2023-08-22 19:47:10 +0000 UTCThe people under the stairs is a underrated classic
Richard
2023-08-22 19:44:48 +0000 UTCTHE BURBS!
Alex
2023-08-22 19:43:33 +0000 UTCBut as far as comedy horror suggestions, the Chucky movies but only the fourth and fifth are true horror comedys, scary movie one and two are straight up parodys which I would enjoy y'all reacting to them ๐

TBR Schmitt
2023-08-22 19:42:11 +0000 UTCHahaha this is a roll coaster of a comment! But thank you :) All going well, so far! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-08-22 19:41:50 +0000 UTCGross and great movie. I wish Nathan Fillion didn't park his career in two network shows I didn't have an interest in. He could have been doing so much cool stuff since Firefly. It's good when an actor you like has a bunch of success though, his yearly residuals are probably more than my house cost. He deserves his Castle money I guess.

James Willingham III
2023-08-22 19:39:00 +0000 UTCVoted 'burbs. Tom Hanks classic. I feel vindicated The People Under The Stairs is on a comedy/horror list though. I watched this on TV with a girl I was dating in around 2005, she was terrified through the whole thing and looked at me like I was a psychopath for laughing at different parts of that movie. Suck it, Susan, you big dork.

2023-08-22 19:36:53 +0000 UTCSam hasn't seen tucker and dale Vs evil ๐ฎ this is a travesty and needs to be rectified ๐ therefore it gets my vote not only is it funny its also wholesome ๐ oh wait maybe I need to rethink this nothing I vote for ever wins so should I be voting for it ๐ค damn now I don't know what to do lol anyways hope you're both doing well , the nursery is coming along nicely and the pregnancy is going well
Ian
2023-08-22 19:36:04 +0000 UTCYou really should add "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2" (1986). My eighth grade football team was fascinated with that movie and we would memorize and recite the entire movie during summer practice and a few years later in Shakespeare class to annoy our teacher. Another classic horror movie worth adding is "Return of The Living Dead" (1985). Both are 80's time machines.

2023-08-22 19:32:02 +0000 UTCI'll be honest I have no interest in any of these movies lol but I voted for killer clowns just because I know there's a lot of ppl out there that have clown phobia ๐๐คท

2023-08-22 19:30:08 +0000 UTCWas hoping to see Attack of the Killer Tomatoes(1978)
