Bloodbath at the House of Death (1984) ★★★★

Bloodbath at the House of Death was a brilliant British horror comedy with a good concept, laugh out loud moments and good kills. With characters that would not be out of place in Clue and a tone later returning in the Scary Movie*franchise.

The kills look good (with the tin opener kill being my personal favorite), but even there, the focus was noticably more on the humor than on the horror and the*scariness.

As a comedy, it genuinely works with a fair share of laugh out loud moments. Wether it's with the nod to Alien or the 12 days of Christmas parody. And a few others. And a partridge in a pear tree.
