I agree that it doesn't make them laughable at all. Both movies were a couple of the most frightening films I have ever seen, and I will always swear by The Shining. I think after 2001, it's Kubricks...shining...achievement. So full of dread and paranoia that it permeates every inch of me. Monthly watching for me, at least, if not much more. haha!
Frank Hennenlotter made a few really good B-flicks in the 80s. I would definitely recommend looking them up if you ever get a chance. Basket Case, for me is his best work. But there is also Brain Damage, about a parasitic alien that injects a hallucinogenic drug into his host's brain stem, and Frankenhooker, which is exactly what it sounds like. :D
He also recently made a film called Bad Biology, which I have not seen yet but I've heard amazing things about it and is one that is up on the top of my list of films to catch up on. :)
