Don't you love laughing and screaming in alternating bursts during a movie? Well, not the untimely laughter of obnoxious fellow moviegoers and the screams of the babies they brought to R-rated movies, but your own enjoyment of a good horror-comedy? And of course, it doesn't have to actually scare you, but as long as it clearly nods to both respective genres.

And please, no "so bad it's funny" movies, either - just movies that accomplish exactly what they set out to do. So in other words, no DOOM.

For me, with only the first three in order, my list would include:

• Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
  
• Lake Placid
  
• Abbott & Costello Meet the Killer (or, to be politically correct, ...Killer Boris Karloff)
  
• Ghostbusters
  
• Hold That Ghost (yes, another Abbott & Costello...so there)
  
• Young Frankenstein
  
  
• Manhattan Murder Mystery
  
• Sleepy Hollow
  
• Shaun of the Dead
  
• An American Werewolf in London

Neat idea Barry. I love Abbott and Costello scary movies. I need to think on this subject without the bother of my phone or beeper. I'll post my list tonight. But expect to see some of the same movies on my list.

I think any list of horror-comedies is incomplete without Dead Alive (Braindead) and the Evil Dead trilogy.

1. Shaun of the Dead
2. Army of Darkness
3. Young Frankenstein
4. The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
5. Ghostbusters 1&2

All I can think of.

1, Army of Darkness
2, Shaun of the Dead
3, The Return of the Living Dead
4, Young Frankenstein
5, Mr.Vampire
6, Dance of the Vampires
7, The Frighteners "My body is a roadmap of pain."
8, Lake Placid
9, Creepshow
10, Beetlejuice

The Abbott and Costello movies will always have a warm place in my heart, so not including them I would say

Army of Darkness (the whole Evil Dead trilogy, but AoD gets my nod as favorite)
Shaun of the Dead
Dog Soldiers (alright, not an outright comedy/horror but the dialogue in that is top notch funny).
Any of the "Messing with Sasquatch" Beef jerky commercials......
Young Frankenstein
Ghost busters

Wow, really didn't add anything new to the list, going to have to think about this one a bit more.

Good choices thus far.

I'll add:

Tremors
C.H.U.D.
Idle Hands
The Mummy(the Fraser version)
RSVP
Near Dark & Aliens(Bill Paxton is hilarious in both)
Slugs
Deep Rising

Good choices thus far....

I agree - especially:

• Ghostbusters
  
• An American Werewolf in London
  
• Young Frankenstein
  
• Abbott & Costello "horror" movies
  

A few that haven't been mentioned yet but that I especially liked:

• Fright Night
  
• Gremlins
  
• The Little Shop of Horrors
  
• Student Bodies
  
• Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
  
• Mars Attacks!
  
• Scream
  

Deep Rising

Glad to see I'm not the only fan of this hilarious movie.

A couple more:

Bubba Ho-Tep
The Return of the Living Dead
House of Wax
Matinee
Re-Animator
The Blob(both versions)
