Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

"Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstien" is the one that also has Dracula and the Wolf Man in it. It is one of the funniest movies ever made.

And the Invisible Man.

But that was not horror at all despite all the monsters in it. No doubt it is funny. Just saw it again a few weeks ago on TCM. Or was it AMC?

Frank:

The Raven (This is one of my favorite movies, period. More of a comedy than a horror movie, however.)

****Vincent rpcie in this one?


House on Haunted Hill

****I'm sure I saw it but don't remember it being lighthearted.

Fearless Vampire Killers (Roman Polanski)

*****Saw this and again don't remember it being very lighthearted.

Dolls (Stuart Gordon directed. And the best killer doll movie ever.)

****Did not see this.

Reanimator

*****Saw it. Was crazy, but not comedic if I recall, except for Combs acting

Society (Brian Yuzna directed)

***Don't recall this one.

Cemetery Man (a brilliant horror movie)

***Nor this.

Dead Alive (essential viewing)

****I agree. Another Peter Jackson classic.

Undead (A movie I love for being completely gonzo)

***Is this the New Zealand picture with the bad sheep? OR certianly there was that fisherman guy who was awesome. And a large wall that had to be climbed?

Dead Snow (has a nice take on zombies as well)
***Been meaning to see this one. Norwegian film about nazi zombies right?

When pulled off right this genre has some great moments and is very quotable.

Can't believe I forgot Brain Damage and Basket Case. Pretty much anything by Henenlotter. Bad Taste is pretty great too.

Cemetery Man is one of my absolute faves. I've even got a Dellamorte Dellamore T-shirt

Right, I forgot that he shows up at the very end. He also appears (and disappears) in "Abbott and Costello Meet The Invisible Man" which is not as good a movie.

I used to show Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstien to my 5th grade class every Halloween. Still funny in the 00s.

Two other films that need mentioning:

House (can't believe I forgot this one!)
The Stuff

All right I will see this movie.

There is another that wasn't great but had a moment or three of humor - I think it was called Ed's Mom or something - with Steve Buscemi who pays a slick salesman John Glover to resurrect his mother (John sells happiness in the form of reviving dead loved ones).

I didn't think Dead Snow was very good. The explanation for the zombies was practically nonexistent and I was annoyed by how the zombies started out fast and got slower and slower as the film progressed (not a complaint unique to this film by any means) to give the final characters a chance while fighting them. YMMV.

The killer sheep movie is Black Sheep and I loved it. It's completely bonkers and a worthy successor to Dead Alive.

I also like Fido. It's set in an alternate 50's where zombies have been domesticated to be servants via behavior-modifying collars. A lot of black humor mixed with suburban satire. Plus Tim Blake Nelson is great (and a little disturbing) as Mr. Theopolis.

Another little-known horror comedy is I Sell the Dead. It's about a pair of grave robbers in the 1800's who find themselves encountering the undead.

My wife is not a horror fan but she enjoyed both Fido and I Sell the Dead.

Edit: Shit, how could I forget The 'Burbs? I love that movie.
