"Horror-comedy", when done well, is the best genre of horror. You get the tension of horror with the release of comedy and, since it's still horror, you get fake-outs galore in both directions.
For examples:

  • An American Werewolf in London
  • Creepshow
  • Gremlins
  • Critters
  • The Lost Boys
  • Evil Dead 2
  • Night of the Creeps
  • Arachnophobia
  • In the Mouth of Madness
  • Slither
  • Jennifer's Body
  • Shaun of the Dead
  • The Cabin in the Woods

Also everything by "Stuart Gordon" and the entire "Masters of Horror" series.

Horror-comedy is a really nice way to introduce someone to the horror genre.

They make great "date movies"!
The first horror movie I showed my future wife was "Candyman". Yes, she basically jumped in my lap (which was nice) but it did not endear her to the genre.
"An American Werewolf in London", however, left her sad about David's unearned fate and how Alex had to watch him die. Still debating over whether he recognized her or not; whether he was truly going to attack or if he was lunging on purpose so they would shoot him.
Both movies have a doomed love subplot, but one was accessible to her and one was definitely not.

Hey uh... looks like there's a bunch of new folks hopping on. Maybe it's time to spruce up the #introduction

I am currently writing a #HorrorComedy comic about radio monsters and 1950s scientific hubris and the importance of hugging your eldritch abominations.
