As opposed to.... Hereditary, Babadook, The Shining, etc - stuff that ranges from just this side of "Scary Movie" horror comedies to generally lighter horror or thriller movies. For some lighter halloween enjoyment.

The Cabin in the Woods

 

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

 

 

Or ones like

Ready or Not

 

 

Of course, Shaun of the Dead

 

I feel like "It Follows" can fit into this category, although I'm trying to remember if it's actually fairly light or if the premise just has some of that to it

I think the first "The Babysitter" movie was fairly enjoyable

Yep. 

Also, the werewolf GOAT is quite fun, albeit pretty heavy in the end:

I enjoyed The World’s End almost as much as SotD.

You're confusing House with House II. The original House wasn't the least bit funny.

You're Next

The trailer makes it looks like a "dumb family gets slaughtered by killers" but it's much more fun than that.

If you mean House tried to be funny but wasn't, that's fair.  But as a kid, I thought it was just as funny as scary, if not more so.

Lost Boys. Classic 80’s movie that’s so bad it’s good. 

I wouldn’t say it was bad. Just cheesy as fuck. I liked that and Fright Night much more than I expected.

I haven't seen that movie in years so I have no idea how it holds up, but I never thought it was bad when it came out in my high school years, or even cheesy.  It was a vampire movie that thematically and musically was designed to appeal to my demographic, and it did a pretty good job at that. 

Also, there were boobies in Fright Night.  Not a lot, but enough to make me happy.

hmmm maybe....House II had cowboy mummies, zombies, Cliff Claven and an Aztec temple inside the house, that's the one I remember being "fun" as a kid.

Ah, never saw that one.  Maybe it was goofier by comparison.

Love this genre. "Freaky" with Vince Vaughn was more funny than scary but good. 

There's an old movie with Alex Guinness called "Mute Witness" that's really good. The first half is a really strong slasher film and the second half is an okay murder thriller/comedy. Weird mix.

Funny thing is that they filmed Guinness's scenes years earlier and filmed the rest of the movie after he died.

"My Best Friends Exorcism" on Prime right now is awful. Not funny, not scary. Don't watch it.
