There are quite a few movies on this list that are not horror comedies, I would consider revising

Also, now that I think of it, there should be seperat sections for "black comedies" and "spoofs"

[edit] I suggest a discussion

I suggest a discussion for films that people believe are not horror comedies or should be considered added to the list of horror comedies (AKA thrillomedies as Arachnophobia's marketing called them). I almost added the 1986 film Troll to the list, because I remember laughing a lot during it, but I don't know if it is a comedy.Antmusic 20:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but what are the criteria? I remember watching the laughable Carnosaur, and not laughing while wondering why anyone would laugh at this, even if they were supposed to be laughing at its crapiness. Comedy horror - who cares? Just make it horror. The laughs will follow.--Shtove 01:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the criteria would be that we only put in the self proclaimed Horror Comedies.... but even then something could be marketed as a horror comedy that is no funny at all (Terror Toons, in my opinion, fits this bill). Yes, it is true that everyone has their opinions on movies (like I HATE Terror Toons, and it is not funny at all, in my opinion... funny concept, unfunny movie with horrible execution... Read the comments on IMDB to see other's opinions on this film). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Antmusic (talk • contribs) 21:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] PLEASE DISCUSS before removing a film.

Someone just removed "Evil Dead" from the list stating that it was not a comedy (their opinion). This is something that should be discussed before action is taken. If anyone believes that Evil Dead is a comedy, then I guess it should be added to the list (I agree that Evil Dead part II and Army of Darkness are funny... but i have not seen Evil Dead part 1 for a long time to be able to give an accurate opinion).Antmusic 18:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Now Cherry Falls has been removed by someone. I haven't seen it, so I have no opinion on if it is a comedy or not. Again, PLEASE discuss before you remove. Antmusic 22:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
