Horror Movies With a Comic Twist (slightly OT)

Last night I was watching this very strange, yet funny movie called,
"Freaked". It starred Alex Winter (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure)
and Randy Quaid. I caught the movie in the middle, so I didn't catch
the full story line, except that Randy Quaid's character was a mad
scientist who turns people into freaks by using toxic waste. It's
really funny, and it has the style of "Airplane".
To get back to my original point is what are some of your favorite
comedy horror movies? Here's my list:

Manos: The Hands of Fate (this movie wasn't meant to be funny, but it's
so bad it's hilarious, MST3K fans will know what I mean)
Pandemonium (made in the 80s, it's a spoof of slasher movies starring
Tom Smothers, Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens, Carol Kane and Judge
Reinhold. If you get a chance to see it, it's brilliant.)
Young Frankenstein (what can I say, this movie is a classic)
Saturday the 14th (a great movie starring Richard Benjamin and Paula
Prentiss)

Okay, I know there are others out there, but I can't remember them.

The Evil Dead II, Basketcase, and Dead Alive are horror-comedy
classics. I also get a chuckle out of Frankenhooker, and many of the
Troma classics (like Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke `Em High).

So too are most Ed Wood movies.

Incidentally, check out my review of The Refrigerator, a lesser known
piece of horror-comedy cleverness, on IMDB.Com. I'm listed as TMC-5

Oh I forgot about the Troma movies. "Toxic Waste Man" was a classic.

*slaps head*
How could I forget "Hysterical" with the Hudson Brothers. This movie
isn't the greatest, but it has a lot of great parts in it. My favorite
quote from that movie is, "You're doomed."
