With their priorities exactly in the right place in the middle of a zombie attack, Zombieland is an action and comedy packed thriller starring Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, and Woody Harrelson.
Vampires Suck (2010):

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010):

What We Do In The Shadows (2014):
A true comedic masterpiece by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, the movie is a mockumentary following three vampire goofballs who’re roommates and have somehow managed to survive for eons.
