The 32 greatest horror movies that aren't actually scary

Jennifer's Body.

We all know someone who can't "do horror." Even when we know that movies are all made up works of fiction and that nothing on the screen is real, it doesn't stop fully grown adults from being scared like children at a really good horror movie. Thankfully, not every horror movie is designed to elicit scares. There's actually some really amazing "horror" movies that aren't so scary at all.

Whether it's close to Halloween and you're jonesing for laughs, or it's just a dark and spooky night and you're in the mood for something different, there are hundreds, if not thousands of amazing "horror" movies that de-emphasize scares in favor of laughs, cheers, and sometimes, even tears. Horror-comedies, horror-romances, kung fu horror (yes really), there's more to the genre than masks and chainsaws.
