The Horror and the Humor: A Fine Selection of Creepy Comical Films
By Eric SchneiderJust before cutting off his own hand with a chainsaw in Evil Dead II, Bruce Campbell, as tormented hero Ash, taunts his demonically hijacked appendage, "That's right. Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now!" Well, we are, since it's undeniably one of the most hilarious horror movies ever made. While some of the films on this list don't hit Evil Dead II's level of gore, they all mix real scares with clever humor to extremely entertaining effect.
