10 Hilarious Horror Comedies To Watch This Halloween

On the face of it, it is peculiar that the horror comedy is such a pervading and prolific genre. Surely the act of being terrified and being tickled are such opposite emotions that they just don’t go together. That the scares will be neutralised by the laughs, and vice versa.

6) Zombieland

Recommended Videos

In basic terms, Zombieland is a classic zombie movie by way of a road trip comedy – and the result is one of the standout entries in both genres.

The cast is minute – there are literally only six people in the entire film – but there’s not a weak link in the chain. Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and a young Abigail Breslin star as four survivors of the apocalypse travelling across country, each of them only known by their choice of destination. Famously, Bill Murray also pops up for a show-stopping cameo as himself – complete with a homage to Ghostbusters (and maybe Garfield 2).

As is becoming a clear common theme of horror comedies, Zombieland derives a lot of its humour from metatextual comments about the genre, as Columbus (Eisenberg) lives by a set of rules that apparently get you through a zombie apocalypse. As well as all the laughs and gore, though, Zombieland might be the most heartfelt entry on this list, as the gang make for a very sweet ad hoc family.
