HORROR MOVIE NIGHT- Creepy comedy collection
Campy horror is here to stay- a lot of modern horror movie scripts seem to jump at every opportunity to mix the comedy with the creepy. This is a mix of funny scary movies and scary movies that are so bad its funny.
I don't watch a lot of campy horror- it just isn't my preference- so my knowledge of this genre is limited and suggestions are always more than welcome!

- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRoy ScheiderRobert ShawRichard DreyfussWhen a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.With this one entry I include the whole series. It started its own horror genre. Thanks to 'Jaws' we now have 'Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus!'
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDavid EmgeKen ForeeScott H. ReinigerDuring an escalating zombie epidemic, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter and his TV executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.Mostly scary with political undertones, this film had its funny moments. I watch it now and I think 'wow, zombies move waaaay faster now than they did in the '70s!'
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherTwo American college students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.Comedy and horrible effects! Say no more.
- DirectorTommy Lee WallaceStarsTom AtkinsStacey NelkinDan O'HerlihyKids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran.If you haven't seen this movie you should. Not intended to fit in to the story line of the 'Halloween' slasher series, this movie had nothing what so ever to do with Michael Meyers. I bought it on VHS at a pawn shop years ago and was disapointed and suprised all at the same time. It is truley hilarious.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.Anyone who has seen this movie knows it has a huge comedy aspect to it.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.In my opinion this movie series is genuinely scary- but over time it got funnier and funnier.
- DirectorJoe DanteStarsZach GalliganPhoebe CatesHoyt AxtonA young man inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.Even as a child I knew that this movie was intended to be funny.
- DirectorTom HollandStarsCatherine HicksChris SarandonAlex VincentA struggling single mother unknowingly gifts her son a doll imbued with a serial killer's consciousness.The whole series! I am lucky to have watched this movie for the first time at a very young age. I didn't realize it was funny- well the first was meant to be scary- until seeing it when I was much older.
- DirectorBernard RoseStarsVirginia MadsenXander BerkeleyTony ToddThe Candyman, a murderous soul with a hook for a hand, is accidentally summoned to reality by a skeptic grad student researching the monster's myth.The whole concept of this movie is hilarious- its like bloody mary from the projects. As a child I always pictured bloody mary's behind the mirror crib to be very high class, victorian even. Weird, I know- I had a big imagination. But Candyman lives in a grafittied abandoned bulding. Rambling on, good movie, good for a laugh.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEmbeth DavidtzMarcus GilbertWhen Ash Williams is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., he must retrieve the Necronomicon and battle an army of the dead in order to return home.This series takes the cake!

- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteA year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.All my friends thought this was the scariest movie ever- but it just made me laugh.

- DirectorJeff LiebermanStarsAlexander BrickelKatheryn WinnickStephen GrahamA naive young boy unknowingly becomes the pawn of a serial killer.This movie is a hidden gem. It is so funny, the kid is so annoying but for a B horror it is worth a watch. Don't expect an artistic display of death and destruction- the gore in this film is nothing to write home about.
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldThe uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his layabout roommate are disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.Kudos for being funny on purpose!
- DirectorJay ChandrasekharStarsJay ChandrasekharBill PaxtonKevin HeffernanWhen a serial killer interrupts the fun at the swanky Coconut Pete's Coconut Beach Resort--a hedonistic island paradise for swingers--it's up to the club's staff to stop the violence...or at least hide it.This became an instant classic for me.
