    The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

    The Return of the Living Dead is a 1985 comedy-horror film that completely redefined the zombie genre. They talk? Check. They move fast? Yep. And way before 28 Days Later, too. They eat brains and the reason is explained by a zombie torso? Gurl, you better know it. Written and directed by Dan O'Bannon, (who wrote a teeny little film called Alien) and based on a story that was originally conceived to be the sequel to Night of the Living Dead, this film is a fractured brain pan full of fun!

    Shaun of the Dead (2004)

    Where do we even start with Edgar Wright's 2004 Zom-Com, Shaun of the Dead? Should we start with it's air tight script? Maybe we start with the fact that George Romero loved the film and had Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg play zombies in his film, Land of the Dead? Or, hear me out... maybe we just start with how this film may be the absolute pinnacle when it comes to horror-comedies? No matter where we start, this iconic and laugh packed take on the zombie genre, is an absolute classic that no fan of horror OR comedy should miss. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

    The Frighteners (1996)

    Peter Jackson's 1996 horror-comedy is a wild romp, that follows paranormal grifter, Frank Bannister, (Michael J. Fox in his final leading-man film role) as he battles a murderous ghost who is crushing the hearts of the townspeople of Fairwater, California. Add in what might be the most deliciously over-the-top performance in cinema history, delivered by Jeffrey Combs, and you've got a film that will be remembered for far more than just being Peter Jackson's last film before changing Middle-earth forever.

Is it funny? Is it scary? Is that Anthony Kiedis' father as the vengeful classmate and killer?  So many questions... Thankfully hosts Bart Shannon and Lindsey Roberts came wielding answers in the inaugural episode of the Die Laughing podcast! Music provided by MKE.
