Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness? Take your pick, they're both iconic, downright hilarious films from horror icon Sam Raimi. But for my money, Army of Darkness is easily one of the funniest movies of all time, which is why it nudged into this spot on the list. Bruce Campbell returns as Ash, the long-suffering Deadite hunter who spent two films trapp...
If you love the otherworldly weirdness of H.P. Lovecraft but thought that dude should take himself a little less seriously sometimes, Re-Animator is the antidote you need. Based on Lovecraft's "Herbert West-Reanimator", director Stuart Gordon's mad scientist dark-comedy is an absolutely wild ride from start to finish, led by an electric lead perfor...
They are not actually clowns (or klowns) but they are from outer space. When a group of aliens land on earth, they just happen to resemble clowns and their earthly pleasures a little too much.

But for horror aficionados, another film will come to mind: The Oscar-winning horror-movie icon, An American Werewolf in London. This genre-bending classic spawned a sequ...
Eating Raoul is one of the most gleefully immoral horror-comedies of all time. Though it's not particularly gruesome as far as cannibal films go, the film centers on a drab, condescending married couple, appropriately named The Blands (Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov), who have absolutely had it with the influx of swingers and degenerates in their apa...

Well-meaning father Randall Petzer (Hoyt Axton) procures one of the fuzzy-faced little guys—Gizmo, an icon—for his son, ...
