Absurd & Darkly Humorous Horror Movies
24
items Horror movies from all decades, of varying maturity ratings that all include some level of absurdity or humor.
You’ve never seen Dude Bro Party Massacre 1 or 2, and you never will, but thankfully that’s not a prerequisite to enjoying this horror comedy. This indie gem is done in the style of classic 80s slasher with the added twist of absurdist humor and a sp...
Dude Bro Party Massacre III (2015)
The opening to this movie pretty much tells you what you're in for, and it's a grimey, fun ride. This movie is gross, violent, and hates kids. I remember suggesting this to a group of friends, and not even part of the way through this masterpiece the...
Feast (2005)
A coming of age story about a young woman named Dawn who starts to notice some, changes, to her body. As of May 4th 2025, this title is available to watch, for free, on Tubi. “VAGINA DENTATA! VAGINA DENTATA!!”
Teeth (2007)
The moving story of a sentient, murderous tire.
Rubber (2010)
Based off a book of the same name, the title may have spoiled the ending, but I can assure you still have no idea what's in store for you. You don't choose the soy sauce; the soy sauce chooses you. Enjoy! As of May 4th 2025, this title is available t...
John Dies at the End (2012)
This movie is comfortable with over-the-top, so buckle-up for this joy ride based off of a Stephen King short story.
The Monkey (2025)
This movie is so goofy at times that it becomes a little embarrassing that it is such an effectively horrifying experience.
Tusk (2014)
This is the third film in the Sam Raimi Evil Dead series, but it's a go-to for absurd horror.
Army of Darkness (1992)
Boobs, babes in bikinis, and lots of blood. This movie is so beautifully over the top. As of writing this, Piranha 3D is available to watch for free on Plex.
Piranha 3D (2010)
Not as comical or absurd as other entries on this list, at least not intentionally, this excellent fantasy horror about scandinavian lore had my friends and I laughing out loud and yelling “TROOOOLLLLLLLL!” for some time afterwards. A group of young ...
Troll Hunter (2010)
Ryan Reynolds plays a guy living with schizophrenia who hears his pets talking to him, giving him good and evil advice. Available to watch on Plex, Pluto and streaming on Peacock.
The Voices
A satirical mock-up of several horror classics that simultaneously pays homage while poking fun at the cliches. They may have beaten this franchise like a dead horse, but that's only because they knew they had a classic with the first one.
Scary Movie (2000)
They kept the magic going with the second installment into the Scary Movie franchise. Funnier than the first one, with moments I still hear references to today: “Take my little hand!” and “Watch out for booty”
Scary Movie 2 (2001)
This is one of the cornerstones of my childhood. Possibly the origin of my love of goofy horror. Aliens land on Earth and they look like clown monsters, complete with a circus tent ship, circus themed weapons and monster critters. Free to watch on Tu...
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Two simple, country dudes trying to enjoy a vacation at their cabin getaway, get mistaken for backwoods hillbilly murderers in this hilarious, blood-soaked comedy horror. Available to watch for free on Roku as of May 2025.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)
A small town is overrun by alien slugs. There's some delicious body horror in here folks, so if you haven't already seen this, I highly suggest it. And if you have seen it but it's been a while? Then maybe it's time for a rewatch. You've probably for...
Slither (2006)
David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones and Seann William Scott fight a rapidly evolving alien creature with… an unlikely weapon. Another suggestion that you either haven't seen it or you really wanna rewatch it now.
Evolution (2001)
A father and daughter accidently hit a unicorn with their car. I went into this expecting an absurd, over-the-top, romp and I was not disappointed.
Death of a Unicorn (2025)
This may be one of the greatest movies ever made. It is horror perfection. I have shared this movie with people who don't like scary movies and they loved it. "A group of kids go to a remote cabin in the woods where their fate is unknowingly controll...
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
The ridiculous, gory fun continues in this second part of the three part series. Now the monsters have spread to a nearby town and the survivors must band together to… try to die slower, I guess. Little people luchadores, a man throws a baby to save himself, and so much ejaculate...this movie is more extreme that the first one. Free to watch on Plex and Tubi as of May 2025.
Feast II: Sloppy Seconds (Video 2008)
Available on Netflix as of May 2025, this movie made me feel very uncomfortable. A man reaches out to a film maker to have tapes made of himself for his young son to watch when he gets older. What follows is an escalation of weird that had me curling...
Creep (2014)
A documentary crew follows a serial killer around as he stalks his next victims.
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
‘Idle hands are the tools of the devil’. A teenage stoners' idle hands become possessed and start committing heinous acts. With Jessica Alba and Seth Green.
Idle Hands (1999)
This third and (so far) final Feast flick jumps the shark and then fists it. If you've made it this far, you clearly like it's disgusting, gorey style, so enjoy the happy finish ;)
Feast III: The Happy Finish (2009)
