The 40+ Best Funny Horror Movies
Making a movie that elegantly blends comedy and horror isn’t easy. Watch the funny horror movies from this list to enjoy some jokes alongside some scares.
Making a movie that elegantly blends comedy and horror isn’t an easy feat. Throw in too many jokes and you have an overdone spoof; not enough, and the comedic angle is lost. But when a horror comedy is done right it offers entertainment and satisfaction that few genres can. Comical moments can lower our inhibitions and make us more susceptible to impending horror. Inversely, they can soften the blow of brutality with absurdist humor. It takes a lot of finesse to evoke such a range of emotions, and these horror comedies nailed it.
Old Funny Horror Movies
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Based on a successful Broadway play, Frank Capra’s film follows Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant), who elopes with his childhood neighbor Elaine (Priscilla Lane). The couple visit their families separately to announce the marriage before their honeymoon, but shocking revelations in the Brewster household have to be dealt with first.

Mortimer’s brother Jonathan arrives — he’s also a serial killer who has evaded police capture by altering his face with the help of his plastic surgeon accomplice.
Young Frankenstein (1974)
In this parodic masterpiece from Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder plays the neurotic and eternally frazzled Dr. Frankenstein—which he insists is pronounced “FRONK-un-shteen”—in his endlessly valiant attempts to reanimate dead tissue and promise humankind eternal life. Marty Feldman plays his assistant Igor, who mistakenly returns with an abnormal brain that gives the monster (Peter Boyle) an extremely low IQ and an usually high sex drive. Madeleine Kahn becomes the monster’s eager bride.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1977)
In this low-budget parody classic, a group of nerdy scientists pool their knowledge in a desperate attempt to save the planet from an onslaught of intergalactic mutant tomatoes. “The opening of the film plays very well, perhaps because the idea of killer tomatoes is at its most novel,” writes Camp Academy. “I laughed out loud when two senior citizens calmly observed a giant tomato munching down on Little Timmy.” Don’t miss the ‘earmuffs’ on the giant tomato at the end—they’re actually a pair of bright green toilet-seat covers.
Funny 80s Horror

He ignores the warning and later becomes a werewolf, killing multiple people in his beastly rampage. After a failed suicide attempt, David transforms again and becomes surrounded by police. The movie won a Saturn Award for Best Horror Film, and it was the very first Academy Award winner in the category of Best Makeup.

Loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft’s “Herbert West-Reanimator” series, the film centers on Herbert West, a medical student who discovers a reanimating reagent. When his medical career is on the line, Herbert and his roommate Dan sneak into the morgue to prove his findings but the corpses become murderous zombies. It’s critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes declares, “Perfectly mixing humor and horror, the only thing more effective than Re-Animator’s gory scares are its dry, deadpan jokes.”
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
What’s more fun than a comedy horror musical? Rick Moranis stars in this Broadway adaptation as Seymour, a man working at a failing flower shop. When his boss considers closing the store, Seymour’s coworker, Audrey, mentions that he has an unusual plant that they could put on display. The strange plant (named “Audrey II” due to Seymour’s crush on Audrey) resembles a Venus fly trap and immediately draws customers to the store. One day, Seymour accidentally pricks himself on the withering plant. When Audrey II perks up, he realizes that it needs human blood to survive. He continues feeding it on his own and the thriving plant gains him local notoriety — but Audrey II’s appetite becomes unsustainable. The film is directed by Frank Oz and includes appearances from Jim Belushi, John Candy, and Bill Murray.
Beetlejuice (1988)
Michael Keaton steals the show—ad-libbing an estimated 90% of his lines—as an evil, wise-cracking ghost hired by the ghosts of a dead couple who simply can’t stand the annoying family that’s moved into the house that they haunt. Roger Ebert gave the film only two stars: “Beetlejuice gets off to a start that’s so charming it never lives it down. The movie is all anticlimax once we realize it’s going to be about gimmicks, not characters.”
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Oh dear heavens, a killer klown? Oh, wait what, a killer klown from outer space? In this comedy, slasher, sci-fi, evil clown movie, you get more than you could have bargained for. Here is one Amazon reviewer, praising the production quality of this low-budget film: “Make no mistake, this is a low budget B movie, but it was exceptionally well done, and every cent of that low budget is on the screen. The clown makeup alone probably ate the majority of the budget.” We agree, this one is a classic for the ages.
The Evil Dead series has a truly devoted cult following — even if fans can’t agree on whether the second film is a remake or a sequel. It currently holds a 97% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest rated of the series.

Tremors was well received by critics and holds an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes at this time.
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer (1992)
When we think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we think of Sarah Michelle Gellar in her TV role as Buffy, a quite serious vampire show about slaying evil spirits. The origin story of Buffy, though, is much more light-hearted and comical. It started with this whimsical tale of a 90s Valley girl and cheerleader named Buffy who is forced to become a vampire slayer. It’s a quite funny vampire movie, even by modern standards and has a series of cameos from Seth Green, Ben Affleck, Alexis Arquette, Seth Green, and more! Certainly the best movie in the sub-genre of high-school dark comedies about vampires.
Madeline is an actress whose career is waning. Her friend Helen is an aspiring writer whose fiance, Ernest, leaves her to be with Madeline.

Slither (2006)
An alien plague turns a small rural town into a hotbed of zombies and monsters. In order to get just the right balance of comedy and horror, director James Gunn reportedly told actors: “We are making a funny movie, but we are not making a comedy.” Roger Ebert said, “There is some humor in the plot, effective action and scenes that entertain us because of how stupidly the characters behave.”

A group of college friends set out for a weekend trip to a remote cabin. Unbeknownst to them, lab workers are watching and controlling their actions as part of a sacrificial ritual.

They go to find Julie in hopes that the humans can help them, but first they have to convince her dad, Colonel Grigio.

In a positive review, Sebastian Kahn of Screen Anarchy said, “Imagine a mix between the first two Scream movies and Joss Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods, minus the over-the-top gore; the end result would be something akin to Todd Strauss-Schulson’s The Final Girls.”

It (2017) and It: Chapter Two (2019)
Both of these Stephen King adaptations are hilarious and terrifying. While being a genuinely scary story about a group of outcast kids who meet a monster who feeds in their town every 27 years, both movies are also filled with the humor of a close knit group of friends. The 2017 film features the immature humor of teenage boys while the 2019 movie is mostly about adults, with real life comedian Bill Hader cast in the ensemble of the Loser’s Club.

In exchange for perpetual wealth, all new family members must choose a card from Le Bail’s puzzle box and play the game listed on the card. Alex is clearly shaken when Grace draws “Hide-and-Seek.” Thinking it’s just an innocent game, Grace gleefully searches for a hiding spot, unaware that the Le Domases must find and kill her before sunrise, or all will die.
