I agree with each and every one of the films on that list as they are all excellent horror-comedies but my favourite would have to be An American Werewolf in London, probably with Shaun of the Dead and Evil Dead 2 rounding off my top three. I keep meaning to make a definitive top 10 list and this is probably the inspiration I needed.

Forgot about that - great choice.

One of my favourite Price movies, too.

There are so many Vincent Price horror films that have a comedic element simply because of the nature of his performance as he is definitely not afraid to achieve the scenery and put a flourish on every other line!

I always have a soft spot for Critters (just for the scene where the critter is trying to talk to E.T) Brain Dead (as it kicks arse for the lord) and Return of the living dead cause they want your brains and it made me laugh my butt off as a kid).

[ArnoGoldfinger]

Bit of a guilty pleasure but Tim Burton's 'Mars Attacks!' made me laugh. Thought long and hard about whether it could be counted as horror and was reminded of all the hilarious and grisly death scenes. I love animals but the cows on fire just made me hoot with laughter.

I've only seen Mars Attacks! once and didn't really think much of it but that was years ago and should really give it another try. I'll add it to my Lovefilm list (once my 'holiday' is over) so I can give it a reappraisal.
