Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.

2022-10-16 03:51:29 +0000 UTCIs it sacrilege to say I LIKED THE Anton Yelchtin/ Colin Ferrell Fright Night a smidge better
Byron Easley
2022-08-30 18:22:15 +0000 UTCDefinitely watch the feature film version of What We Do In The Shadows. Taika Waititi & co as vampires - hilarious. Young Frankenstein is the best horror comedy of all time, but I think you've already seen it? And then there's the perfect, beautiful, amazing, hilarious worst movie ever made Plan 9 From Outer Space. Seriously, Plan 9 is worth watching, so bad - but so earnest - it's a work of art.

2022-08-28 15:35:22 +0000 UTCTales from the Crypt was indeed an anthology show on HBO from 1989 to 1996 based on the EC Comics of the 1950s.
Jason Chirevas
2022-08-25 13:11:54 +0000 UTCCreepshow is classic horror. I never thought of it as comedy. Perhaps it has some comedic elements but it's definitely scary. After watching Creepshow 2 I was terrified of going swimming in the water for years. Both are definite must watches. The Creepshows and Tales from the Crypt. I dunno if Tales from the Crypt was actually a show or just a comic book. I can't remember. I know I had TftC comic books as a kid. I loved them. That and Garbage Pail Kids were the best.

Aaron Barlow
2022-08-24 23:31:30 +0000 UTCI know this is a horror poll, but with all the comments about Peter Jackson I have to ask the big obvious question: Have the two of you watched The Lord of The Rings?
Nick of Time
2022-08-24 23:13:08 +0000 UTCYes it is, but they’ve seen it and “Shaun of The Dead” as well.
Nick of Time
2022-08-24 23:04:01 +0000 UTCIndeed! Took me a long time to finally give it a try (I thought it looked derivative and cliche), but when I did I was very, very pleasantly surprised. That movie is a ton of fun after watching so many cliché horror movies.
Nick of Time
2022-08-24 22:22:50 +0000 UTCIt’s only unfortunate if you didn’t enjoy them. 😌
Nick of Time
2022-08-24 21:10:29 +0000 UTCWe have seen these both, unfortunately! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-24 21:09:25 +0000 UTCI would dispute that Heathers is in any way horror. It is a hilarious dark satire about conformity (among other things).
Michael Soukup
2022-08-24 17:11:15 +0000 UTCBad Taste is a fantastic lesson in how to stretch a budget
Nick Sneddon
2022-08-24 08:14:02 +0000 UTCRe-Animator is a classic, highly recommend
Ken Veader
2022-08-24 05:24:56 +0000 UTCSkip the sequels? Dawn of the Dead is the best of the trilogy and Day of the Dead is Tom Savini's best special effects showcase
Ken Veader
2022-08-24 05:23:57 +0000 UTCIt pains me to see Dead Alive so low! I used to screen it for friends just to watch their reactions!
Alan Kingsley
2022-08-24 04:23:25 +0000 UTC4th, after the hilariously bad Bad Taste(1987) and Meet the Feebles(1989), if you count the 20 min short film The Valley

2022-08-24 04:12:50 +0000 UTCCabin in the Woods is truly unique.
Ed R
2022-08-24 02:41:37 +0000 UTCi haven't seen Tucker&Dale either. fate knew a watch along would cross my path. Re-Animator 👍🏼 a odd fun film
YoureMrLebowski
2022-08-23 22:16:36 +0000 UTCZombie comedy recommendations: •Shaun of The Dead (2007) •Zombieland (2009)
Nick of Time
2022-08-23 21:37:14 +0000 UTCA couple that are missing from this list: Killer Klowns from Outer Space(1988) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes(1978)
mikethemotormouth
2022-08-23 16:57:22 +0000 UTCLOL, bro, you're saying that having WATCHED all the horror tropes in film. These guys haven't even watch Hellraiser. There are VERY specific things in CITW that would be totally missed unless you watch at least 30 to 40 other movies.
Mike keith
2022-08-23 16:14:27 +0000 UTCHonestly I would stick to what you have, Tucker & Dale is something you see AFTER you watch all these old slasher movies, same with Cabin in the Woods, watch both of these movies LAST, maybe wait till next year, cause the more movies you see(HellRaiser esp) the more you'll appreciate CITW)
Mike keith
2022-08-23 16:11:52 +0000 UTCBoth of those movies are fantastic, HOWEVER, if you had to see only one, def pick the Re-Animator. It's a great Lovecraftian movie, and has some of most iconic 'Head' scenes in all of movie history, lol.
Mike keith
2022-08-23 16:09:25 +0000 UTCYes, they are in the same "universe" so to speak, but you only need to see the very first black and white movie, and not its sequels to watch "Return". Without any spoilers that's all I can really say. But "Return" was written and directed by the writer and creator of the first (and basically the entire series I guess) Alien(1979) movie directed by Ridley Scott. Dan O'Bannon wrote and directed the first "Reute of the Living Dead" movie, and it is a fucking MASTERPIECE is horror comedy. But yes, watch the first NOTLD movie and just skip the sequels for now, then you can go to Return, also Return totally deletes the NOTLD(Romaro) sequels anyways, so it may be confusing if you watched ALL the Dead movies before the Return movie, Return also has a sequel, however it would be hard to find in good quality. I have a copy but it's not suitable for yt IMO, I don't think it made it to BD yet.
Mike keith
2022-08-23 16:01:47 +0000 UTCHaven't seen Tucker & Dale - but Re-Animator is great. Judging by your response to the Evil Dead franchise this one is an easy recommendation.
Sergeant Pepper
2022-08-23 14:45:06 +0000 UTCThat’s the one I voted for.
Tim Raths
2022-08-23 14:37:51 +0000 UTCHeathers is such an amazing film. Sad to see it so far down in the voting. Christian Slater and Winona Ryder are so young and so amazing.
TGrimace
2022-08-23 14:37:36 +0000 UTCHi All! From these comments I’m realizing I left two films off of the poll! 🤦🏻♀️ are-Animator and Tucker & Dale vs Evil. Clearly, it was too late for my brain when I posted these. Let us know what you think of these films and I’ll make sure to add them to future horror polls! Sorry! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-23 14:31:49 +0000 UTCAlso "Zombieland" is pretty funny horror movie.
KevG
2022-08-23 14:01:22 +0000 UTCYep brilliant film
Nick Sneddon
2022-08-23 13:58:43 +0000 UTCI watched Idle Hands quite a few times, good movie!
Jen Barnes
2022-08-23 13:58:30 +0000 UTCIt's absolutely brilliant. It's not popular enough to win though
Nick Sneddon
2022-08-23 13:58:11 +0000 UTCYes! It's a great film
Nick Sneddon
2022-08-23 13:57:14 +0000 UTCWhoops! Posted this on the regular Horror poll. I'll repost it here. One of my favorite comedy / horror (with much, much more comedy than horror) "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948). Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and a special surprise guest.
Miles E Coburn
2022-08-23 13:42:43 +0000 UTCSam, that totally makes sense. You’ve seen Scream right? Scream, I know what you did last summer are the 2 main movies it spoofs. If you have not seen scream, please add that one to future horror polls.
Jeff Phillips
2022-08-23 12:56:57 +0000 UTCWas going to include this but I thought it had to be seen after the Night of the Living Dead which we haven’t seen! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-23 12:56:54 +0000 UTCOH NO!! Tucker & Dale was on the list! Ah crap it was supposed to be last! 🤦🏻♀️ Not sure if I should redo the poll now -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-23 12:55:53 +0000 UTCWe want to watch it but I don’t think we’ve seen everything it spoofs yet! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-08-23 12:54:07 +0000 UTC"The Return of the Living Dead" doesn't get enough reactions, and it invented the fast zombie.
Thomas Yanez
2022-08-23 12:50:05 +0000 UTCSome films just can't win polls. Instead, they need wise channel owners to select them. Daniel and Sam generally choose much better films than we do!

Rick Rodriguez (PicoMan Photography)
2022-08-23 11:32:06 +0000 UTCI voted for 4, including Heathers (1989), which is more a dark comedy maybe?
YoureMrLebowski
2022-08-23 11:16:16 +0000 UTCWrite in votes for The Return of the Living Dead (1985) and The Lost Boys (1987)
YoureMrLebowski
2022-08-23 11:14:38 +0000 UTCI didn't even catch that. :) Absolutely not a horror.
Ron Moses
2022-08-23 11:11:53 +0000 UTCLove Planet Terror! It's tied to Death Proof which you've already seen so I really hope you watch it at some point
Odd Thomas
2022-08-23 10:31:40 +0000 UTCOhh! Creep show or The Return of the Living Dead!
Monica Vasquez
2022-08-23 10:24:14 +0000 UTCI second Tucker and Dale vs Evil. So good.
James Van Dyke
2022-08-23 10:21:29 +0000 UTCThe Burbs is definitely my most watched film too lol. I can just never get tired of it. I literally grew up wanting to live in that neighborhood lol which my sister says was in Universal Studios way back in the day. Thought it was so cool they got to see the houses.
Jonathan Patrick
2022-08-23 10:06:23 +0000 UTCBack to back recommendations for The 'Burbs! This community has great taste. The 'Burbs is in my top 3 or 4 films of all time, and it still has my favourite opening shot ever.
Future Boy
2022-08-23 10:03:34 +0000 UTCI also can't believe Drag Me to Hell doesn't have more votes. This movie has everything - 2 seances gone terribly wrong, close combat in a sub compact car, grave robbing, old hag curse, animal sacrifice, a Pit of Hell, and a whole lot more. Plus it's directed by Sam Rami. Tons of fun this one
Smooticus
2022-08-23 10:02:50 +0000 UTCThe bad news is that Heathers won't win this poll. The good news is that it's not a horror film, so feel free to watch it anytime you want :)
Future Boy
2022-08-23 09:59:43 +0000 UTC2 excellent choices. I love them both. I've seen The 'Burbs more times than any other film. It would make a great "light" choice for Halloween!
Future Boy
2022-08-23 09:57:49 +0000 UTCHow the hell do you not have Tucker and Dale vs Evil on this list???
Smooticus
2022-08-23 09:55:58 +0000 UTCFRIGHT NIGHT !!
Nelly Nilsen
2022-08-23 09:51:56 +0000 UTCCREEPSHOW ALL THE WAY! Just saw yet another fantastic reaction to that one on "Popcorn Reactions", that one is a slam dunk!
Toc
2022-08-23 08:58:58 +0000 UTCDead Alive is Peter Jacksons 2nd or 3rd film iirc – its absolutely brilliant as well
Nick Sneddon
2022-08-23 08:45:16 +0000 UTCSince you guys liked the Evil Dead series, one I'd recommend Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). A rather unknown horror comedy with Bruce Campbell
Ravi Subasegaran
2022-08-23 08:43:57 +0000 UTCIdle Hands should be a good fit here too. Great now that you've seen the first Evil Dead movies :) If you want to get really hipster there's also some great non-us movies in this genre: Frostbiten/Frostbitten (Swedish) and Död Snö/Dead Snow (Norweigen) are great ones!
Robin Cederholm
2022-08-23 08:32:02 +0000 UTCSaturday the 14th is a classic horror/comedy movie
Jeff Phillips
2022-08-23 08:08:00 +0000 UTCScary Movie is a real funny horror/ comedy if you haven’t seen it, add it to future polls please!
Jeff Phillips
2022-08-23 08:02:03 +0000 UTCHemsworth's other horror comedy is the Ghostbusters remake, scary and funny for all the wrong reasons.
Aaron Barlow
2022-08-23 07:26:12 +0000 UTCTo be fair most 'references' are just standard horror tropes.
Aaron Barlow
2022-08-23 07:24:43 +0000 UTCCabin in the woods is good.
Aaron Barlow
2022-08-23 07:24:06 +0000 UTCAll of those movies are awesome, but Cabin in the Woods in fantastic. You might not get many of the references though without watching these other choices first.
Mike keith
2022-08-23 05:54:42 +0000 UTCRe-Animator (1985) is a classic horror comedy, so is Frankenhooker (1990) , Bill Murray highly recommends
Ken Veader
2022-08-23 05:42:04 +0000 UTCCreepshow is hilarious
Brian Nau
2022-08-23 05:41:48 +0000 UTCYou have to watch "The Burbs" from 1989 with Tom Hanks and "The Witches of Eastwick" from 1987 with Jack Nicholson and Cher and Michelle Pfeiffer !! Both are so much fun and Classics of the 80's !!! Perfect Reaction to Comedy Horror ;)
Florian Meier
2022-08-23 05:24:18 +0000 UTCComedy Horror The Burbs (1989) Tom Hanks The Monster Squad (1987)
Jonathan Patrick
2022-08-23 05:16:19 +0000 UTClol, welp, this one's decided! xD I'm happy that it's one that I haven't watched yet. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-08-23 05:15:40 +0000 UTCFright Night is such a classic and so much fun
Pixie
2022-08-23 05:03:12 +0000 UTCPeter Jackson's Dead Alive is so wonderfully gross
kbobravo
2022-08-23 05:01:13 +0000 UTCVoted for FRIGHT NIGHT and CABIN IN THE WOODS. Even though you guys should absolutely see HEATHERS, I couldn’t vote for it here in good conscience as it’s a black comedy, not a horror movie at all.
Jason Chirevas
2022-08-23 05:01:01 +0000 UTCFright Night! 😎 And Fright Night 2 - (1988)
