Most horror lovers search out terrifying titles but there are plenty of picks that include elements of comedy for those looking for laughs. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a great pick for slasher fans looking for a comedic take on the genre. The 2010 horror-comedy was written and directed by Eli Craig who has another title on this list.

The film stars Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk as Dale and Tucker, two hillbillies who mean well but get themselves stuck in a dangerous situation. The pair just bought a cabin in the woods of West Virginia in the hopes of fixing it up. While in the area, they help a young woman from drowning but they are mistaken as kidnappers. The woman was with a group of college kids who think Tucker and Dale are psychotic killers based on the stories of the infamous Memorial Day Massacre that took place 20 years before.

The woman is taken to the cabin to keep her safe and her friends arrive to rescue her. They start to die in accidental ways, giving more reason to believe that Tucker and Dale are responsible for the killings. The movie is full of gore but there is an ample amount of comedy, as well as a heartfelt subplot. Based on the popularity of the film, a sequel was in development but it has no moved forward.
