The best horror comedy films that come to mind... or rather your favorites.

I'd definitely go with:
- An American Werewolf In London (a favorite in general)
- Evil Dead II (also my favorite of the Evil Dead series)
- My Name Is Bruce (though the horror takes a big backseat, I feel it qualifies)
- Braindead/Dead Alive

Agreed with all but "My Name Is Bruce". Not a huge fan (but I love Evil Dead 2). Obviously. The shirt & the tat.

Also...Gutterballs

The Feast series. They progressively get funnier.

Frankenhooker

Basket Case

To name a few...

Yeah, I noticed that. Pretty awesome stuff bro.

I loved My Name Is Bruce if only for it being Bruce Campbell as himself, the self-aware humor and self-parody, and the constant references to other films and the reception of them. I dunno, it seemed like a perfect film for the fans of Campbell.

Saw the first Feast. Loved it. I was going to grab the others once but I can get cautious of sequels when it comes to horror and comedy... I guess the combo ups my caution. (To an extent, I blame An American Werewolf In Paris.)

A recent one I really enjoyed was I Sell The Dead. I loved the comic book feel of it.

Burial Ground is one of the most oddball funny zombie flicks I've seen. I know it wasn't supposed to be, but...the whole oedipus thing goin on with the kid that looked like he was a grown man. Just too weird. But funny.

That was Peter Bark, he indeed was a grown man playing a kid. Classic.

Have you seen the documentary "Best Worst Movie"?

It's about the making of Troll 2.

Also funny, in an awkward kinda way.

Yep, it was great. I love movie-themed documentaries. Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!, Machete Maidens Unleashed, Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story, Schlock! The Secret History of American Movies, American Grindhouse....

Not my kind of film(s) or humour (i.e. scary movie and the like) but I did like Beetlejuice.
