Some good horror films not already mentioned divided into more fun and more scary (many have both laughs and scares):
MORE FUN: American Werewolf in London (1981), Bad Taste (1987), Braindead/Deadalive (1992), Dawn of the Dead (1978), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1931), The Fly (1986), The Invisible Man (1933), Inside (2007) (very brutal but played for laughs), Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Omen (1976), Poltergeist (1982), The Prophecy (1995), Re-Animator (1985), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Society (1989), Switchblade Romance/Haute tension (2003).
MORE SCARY: Bug (2006), Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Dark Water (2005), Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986), Misery (1990), The Mist (2007), The Others (2001), Ringu (1998), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The Wicker Man (1973).
Of course we must not forget the biggest horror film there ever was: The Shining (1980). I didn't know where to place it as it's extremely scary on first viewing but that gradually gives way to fun the more times you watch it. REDRUM!
