Why can't horror be funny?

Too funny for real horror that's it's only downfall in terms of this list. Same for Tucker and Dale.
I just wanted to focus on actually scary movies, of which, Cabin in the Woods is not. It's a farce. A great one, but still a farce and not really meant to be scary.

I agree that any top ten since 2010 without CitW on it nullifies its credibility.
Meh, not a scary movie.

Also, Babadook was borderline terrible. I am disappointed to see it in your top ten for sure. It was decently creepy, but the ending was straight up awful, and the majority of the movie wasn't good enough to overcome that IMO.
That's why it's 10. I think I had the right atmosphere to watch it. Like midnight on Friday home alone all the lights off and my puppy being weird. I was spooked enough.

I liked Black Death. Megan is Missing is pretty fricked up, but not sure that would classify as straight up horror though. Retreat was pretty good, but not sure that'sreally "horror" either.
All pretty good movies, particularly Retreat. In that same vein, I enjoyed Honeymoon as well.

Eh, I kinda disagree. I think one thing that makes CitW so great is that it excels both at horror and satire. I think the first half is a pretty legit horror. And even once shite hits the fan, it's still horror, just a different kind (and more funny, like you said).
But that doesn't mean it's not though. I mean, Scream is a "funny horror movie," and is great.

And I'd put Honeymoon on there before Babadook as well.
Also, Alien Abduction should definitely be on this list. That movie was awesome.
