I prefer the horror comedy slasher that don't take themselves too seriously.

One example that I enjoy is Stiches (2012).

    I love horror comedies [Killer Klowns from Outer Space

    ](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) is a classic and a must see.

    Fun fact: the Chiodo brothers did the creature effects for both KKfOS and [Ernest Scared Stupid

    ](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0101821/) They even refused some of the costumes in Ernest: Killer Klowns into trolls! Such a good movie.

    My final rant will be about Sir Peter Jackson's earlier work. Dead Alive (aka Braindead) is a movie from 1992 that absolutely blew me away. It is also streaming free on YouTube! It has some of the most fun/disgusting practical effects I have ever seen. What a wild ride. Would recommend to anyone who can find body horror amusing. 10/10

    I just watched Totally Killer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think it hits any means of "greatness" but it's a just a fun horror comedy that's a mix of Back to the Future and 80s slasher films. Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Legend of Korra) is hilarious in it and Julie Bowen (Modern Family, Happy Gilmore) does fight choreography -- it's a great addition for anyone looking to add something new to their horror comedy watchlist.
