    Bad Milo is really funny. Watched it a while ago, laughed my hole off at it. ;)

    Tremors and lake placid are my favourite of the genre. Silly and serious at the same time.

    Cabin in the woods was wonderful, nailed the teenagers doing silly things story very well.

    The people under the stairs is brilliant too, loved it as a kid and still do.

    Another Danny Dyer one, Doghouse. Some really funny bits and some brilliantly gross parts.

    Never got the love for Cabin in the Woods, thought it was woeful.

    Don't think it's been mentioned.

    Cabin in the Woods I thought was absolutely brilliant.

    I went to see it knowing zero about it and was blown away.

    It is a genre fans wet dream and is up there with Tucker and Dale for being my favourite comedy horror.

    All too often films of this nature try to be too clever but CITW nails it completely.

    From the Evil Dead setting, the various monsters, the kills and the gloomy ending, everything works fantastically well.

    Love it.

    Haven't seen cabin in the woods to be honest but might give it a look.

    Not Comedy Horror, but if you liked What We Do In The Shadows, you should check out Taika Waititi's other work - Boy, Eagle vs Shark, and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are absolutely fantastic.

    Back to the topic ..

    Good call on Dog Soldiers. Absolutely fantastic movie! Dead Snow is also worth the watch. Zombie Nazis. What more could a person want?!

    That was great, I loved the pub scene near the beginning.

    I didn't know that...

    Another film that is similar to a Horror-Comedy he's in would be Drop Dead Fred.

    And funnily enough, the guy in the pub that does most of talking crops up in an episode of Mayall's classic sitcom, Bottom, as the psychotic neighbour Mr Rottweiler!

    Life after Beth is a good one as well with a great cast and the added bonus of being up on Netflix at the moment. Also, any film that has Vitamin C by Can on its soundtrack is always going to be a keeper in my books.

    Coscarelli's John Dies At The End is, if anything, even better than Bubba Ho-Tep IMO. Well worth a look.

    Love nearly all the movies mentioned so far. Will check out ones i haven't seen.

    One i remember as a kid was Critters, watched all of them, think there are about 4 or 5 movies, they get worse as they go but i loved them! They basically become all about the janitor from what i remember.

    Witching and bitching (or la bruxa witchy los something) is a brilliant horror comedy and it it goes off on a completely mental tangent at the climax

    Has anyone mentioned the fearless vampire killers?
    Or Big trouble in little China?

    I thought that was just so bad it was bad, unfortunately :( I think it was the rushed cheapness of the CGI coupled with the constant reuse of establishing shots to pad the running time that frustrated me; had there been some practical effects set pieces it might have been different. Still, different strokes for different folks, etc.
