The next stop on our list is Sharknado.
This plot is one of the more interesting concepts for a movie. It’s a movie full of tornadoes full of sharks. It is comical, but also can be scary, due to all the gore with the sharks tearing off human limbs. This movie is perfect for those terrified of sharks or tornadoes, or worse both!

Werewolves Within is also a new one with a unique concept. It is a mystery “Whodunnit” combined with horror and comedy. It starts off innocently enough with a new park ranger starting his job and he’s extremely excited about it.
Then when they all get snowed in, and a dead body suddenly shows up under a front porch, that’s when things take a turn.

I know what you are thinking: Really? Scooby-Doo the Movie?
This was a classic growing up, and when it first came out it was terrifying! It takes place somewhere called Spooky Island for crying out loud! Of course, it still has the charm that Scooby-Doo always has, and some shenanigans along the way, but it is overall just a feel-good movie! And why not revisit your childhood?

This movie combines comedy and horror by combining two of the best things: The Office and vampires. Now of course The Office did not necessarily invent the mockumentary, but it certainly paved the way for it.

What happens when you take a man who fears sheep and put him on a farm where there are genetically altered sheep? Even worse still, these sheep prey on humans and turn them into undead sheep.

It is a horrifying concept with some humor thrown about. It stars Joe Keery who made a name for himself in the tv show Stranger Things. Something tells me his character Steve Harrington would not like Kurt.

The boy who was throwing the party tried to sacrifice the Colleens and bratwursts quite literally save them.

27.) Jurassic Park (1993)
Trailer for Jurassic
Pictured: a poster of Jurassic Park.
I know, I know. Go ahead and roll your eyes. This one can be considered a stretch. After all, is Jurassic Park a horror movie? But look at it this way: what’s scarier than dinosaurs trying to eat you?
Of course, in order for this to be considered a horror comedy, it also has to be funny. And it has some comedic bits as well with some excellent one-liners.

Jaws official movie trailer
Pictured: A poster of Jaws.
Jaws to me is considered a horror movie as I have always had a fear of sharks. However, I live right next to the beach as well and have never had my own encounter with one.
