Any Funny Horror Movies Recommended

Does anybody have any recommended funny horror movies they can share?

'm not looking for dark humor, or even movies like Evil Dead etc.

I'm looking for really Cheese - G rated stuff like:

Earnest Scared Stupid, or The Roseanne Show Halloween disc.

My wife won't watch horror movies at all, but will watch something like those two.

I swear she would like Evil Dead, or campy movies like Sleepaway Camp etc. but she doesn't' seem to

Help!

Did you try Shaun of the Dead? Probably falls into the same group that she doesn't like though...but it's hilarious!

Anyone a fan of, like me, of the movie: "Scream and scream again"? The first time I saw this movie, somebody at the TV studio was heard to say at one scene, "SHIT". It went over the air. Fell out of my chair.

She doesn't like the Evil Dead Trilogy, hmmm this could be a problem.

Shaun of the Dead and Dead Alive would be the two I recommend.

Idle Hands might fall here too.

Oohh, good one. Considering I think the OP is looking for a more "family friendly" horror comedy I think that might be perfect.

Also The Frighteners

She actually doesn't like House or House 2, although both are favorites of mine. Same with Return of the Living Dead or Shaun of the Dead.

She does like Killer Klowns and Young Frankenstein.

A few of the recommendations I haven't seen, so at least I'll say they're for her to see, and enjoy them myself.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Student Bodies

Rated "R" but not because of violence or nudity. You'll have to watch it yourself to see why.

Not for the weak of heart, nor for the prudish, but KILLER KONDOM is quite unique. (It's a Troma release, and boasts that the creative consultant is H.R.Giger of Alien fame).

Good one -
also try Theatre of Blood -another Midnite Movies release; it's dark humored, but not overly graphic.
