10 Horror Comedies to Haunt You This Halloween
Buckle up for a wickedly funny (and terrifying) ride with our top 10 horror comedy recommendations. If you're ready for an evening of wicked grins and jump scares, these films have you covered.
1. Trick ‘r Treat
One of the best horror anthologies released in the past 20 years and it takes place on Halloween night with plenty of trick ‘r treating, costumes and sold scares to go around. (Max)
2. Housebound
This is a true horror movie in the vein of “The People Under the Stairs” but it’s also loaded with that classic sense of humor that can only come from New Zealand. (Tubi)
3. Tucker & Dale vs Evil
This became an instant cult classic. Fans of slasher flicks should love all the jokes in this one. It’s far and away the funniest flick on this list. (Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, Roku, Tubi)
4. Murder Party
A weirdly dark comedy movie that takes place on Halloween night from the director of “Blue Ruin” and “Green Room”. Trust me, it’s much funnier than his other work. (Prime Video, Tubi)
5. Severance
An English comedy about a work retreat that will definitely appeal to fans of “Shawn of the Dead” with plenty of laughs and severed limbs to go around. (Prime Video, Peacock, Roku, Tubi)
6. The Wolf of Snow Hollow
This one is an acquired taste. It’s a solid werewolf murder mystery but the lead actor, writer and director Jim Cummings gives a somewhat old fashioned comedic performance I found to be particularly special. Try the trailer first. (PlutoTV)
7. Hell Baby
Several cast members from Reno 911 reunited for a exorcist style horror flick that’s 100 x more silly than it is scary. (Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, Tubi, FreeVee, Roku)
8. Deadstream
Released on Shudder this year, Deadstream is a super silly “found footage” style flick about a cringy YouTuber essentially trapped in the Evil Dead cabin. It’s also effectively tense for such a goofy premise. (SHUDDER, AMC+)
9. Stung
Huge, and I mean HUGE, wasps descend on a fancy dinner party and all hell breaks loose. Stung features some old school practical effects and a hilarious performance from Matt O’Leary. (Tubi)
10. Zombeavers
This one is as silly as it sounds. It’s packed with bloodthirsty beavers, nudity and teenage victims who literally can’t make a good decision if their lives depend on it. (Prime Video, Tubi)
