Some of the best horror movies of all time are horror COMEDIES. And what are the best horror comedies? Mental Floss came up with a list of the top 25.
They appear to be in chronological order, not ranked . . . so here are some of the highlights:
1. “Arsenic and Old Lace”, 1944
2. “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”, 1948
3. “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”, 1971
4. “Young Frankenstein”, 1974
5. “An American Werewolf in London”, 1981
6. “Re-Animator”, 1985
7. “Evil Dead 2”, 1987
8. “Tremors”, 1990
9. “Cemetery Man”, 1994
10. “Scream”, 1996
11. “Bubba Ho-Tep”, 2002
12. “Shaun of the Dead”, 2004
13. “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil”, 2010
14. “Cabin in the Woods”, 2011
15. “Happy Death Day”, 2017
A few that didn’t make the list, but are definitely worth a watch are:
“Ready Or Not” (2019) . . . “Anna and the Apocalypse” (2017) . . . “Cooties” (2014) . . . “What We Do in the Shadows” (2014) . . . “Slither” (2006) . . . “John Dies at the End” (2012) . . . “Gremlins” (1984) . . . “The Trip” (2021) . . . and 1999’s “Lake Placid”, featuring BETTY WHITE
For what it’s worth, “Cabin in the Woods” is one of my favs…
