I searched far and wide for lists of best comedy horror movies of all time or any version thereof. Criteria included the movies being ranked, not just listed, and mostly covering all time, not just a decade. The lists were generally created by groups, whether teams or committees or based on general public voting (like Ranker.com).

I was able to find 35 lists. I took the 35 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every film. The total number was almost 1,000 including all the repeats. I experimented with different formulas, trying to balance the value of being ranked high on any list and being included on the most lists. I ended up averaging the rankings each movie got (there were 142 that were on at least 2 lists) and dividing that average by the number of lists that movie was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists.

The movies that were on the most lists (out of 35) were:

  • Shaun of the Dead (2004) – 31
  • The Cabin in the Woods (2011) – 26
  • Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) – 24
  • Zombieland (2009) – 24
  • Evil Dead II (1987) – 22
  • What We Do in the Shadows (2014) – 22
  • An American Werewolf in London (1981) – 21

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created, followed by my complete spreadsheets.
