Love Horror’s Top Horror Comedies on Shudder

111Horror movie streaming service Shudder has a terrifying tone of great horror movies so we thought we would delve into some of their specially curated Shudder Collections to pick some of our favourite frighteners.

Here is what Shudder has to say about their COMEDY OF TERRORS Collection:
Though all horror fans can recall laughing at an over-the-top kill or some hilariously bad dialogue, the humor in these fearsome and funny films is purely intentional. We’ve gathered the best of this new breed of horror comedy for your extreme entertainment – but be careful. You may die laughing…

Here are our top 3 including review quotes:
Street Trash (1987)
“Street Trash is a splatter flick that wilfully acts the class clown and is all the better for it. There is no other movie more deserving of your time on a Friday night, take away in one hand, cold beer in the other. It isn’t going to change your life and it certainly isn’t going to engage you with a witty script or interesting plot, but will instead hold your attention via sheer energy alone. Its will is stronger than yours, it’s better not to fight it.”

Basket Case 3 (1992)
“Both the storyline and the social commentary are much thinner in Basket Case 3. However this is replaced by more laughs and more craziness, which in a series like Basket Case, is no bad thing.”

The Stuff (1985)
“Subtly Subversive and sensationally entertaining The Stuff shows how horror films can be a brilliant vehicle for social and political comment while still working on a visceral and enjoyable level. The Stuff is so tasty it will leave you hungry for seconds.”
