All I say is "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Night"!

Evil Dead 2. Need I say more?

I'm surprised you didn't bring up Evil Dead, Dead by Dawn especially.

I'm a late comer here. But I do remember being scared by Dracula and the Wolf Man in Abbot and Costello, and the Monster in Tennis Shoes from the Loony Toons. Lovecraft's story Herbert West: Reanimator is very funny and truly horrifying.( It was also scary when people chased Abbot because they thought he was the werewolf.)

Great video Omni!

Albott and Costello meet Frankenstein is amazing. Still a bag of comedy.

One of my favorite horror comedies is The Happening, directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil It's a parody of the killer hillbilly horror movies where the hillbillies are really the innocent victims The whole movie is based on a big misunderstanding

Gremlins is a great film that is a horror comedy

First

Spot on omni , Abbott and castelo Horror shows are the best they did in my opinion, some pretty good ones with the 3 stooges also even though they might have taken little less serious the monsters.

Personally I adore horror comedies especially when done well. Especially evil dead, young Frankenstein, and an American Werewolf in London.

I think horror comedies can be well done. It's all about how the films opening establishes the film's tone. If the film is presented as a straight up horror-comedy movie with legit funny jokes and scaries than it can work. If the film is established as a horror but has comedy that conflicts with the scariness and horror, then it just falls flat. It's all about the execution, not inherently mixing comedy and horror in of itself.

Food analogies aren't the best way to articulate media discussions.

Hey omni aren't their some dark comedies that border on horror? Also, what? No mention of the Evil Dead franchise?

You can mix horror and comedy, but only if you take the horror elements seriously. If not... well, you can end up with something like Dracula: Dead and Loving It. (Of course, it also goes without saying that the comedy has to be funny - again, unlike the previous example.)

I think that most horror comedies lean more towards either the horror side like Reanimator, Evil Dead 2, or Dead Alive and on the other side are movies that lean more towards the comedy side like Shaun of the Dead, or Gremlins. I just want to know why you didn't touch on the former at all, it seems like it would be an important thing to touch on in this video.

Do you think that a modern comedy duo could make a series of horror comedies? Abbot and Costello met Frankenstein's monster, the wolf man, Dracula, the Mummy, Dr.Jekyl &Mr.Hyde, the Killer: Boris Karloff, and in a cameo the creature from the black lagoon. Could Penn and Teller do horror/comedy?

Would you say Krampus is a good example Omni?

There’s a balance to everything though it really matters about how you execute the performance of the film and how it’s made.

It's about as cluelessly erroneous statement that I heard in awhile.....🅂🄲🄾🄾🄱🅈-🄳🄾🄾!

Abott & Costello meet Frankenstein was the first movie I ever watched that wasn’t a kids movie. I was 4 when I saw it for the first time.

I think there are plenty of horror movies that work with all ranges and types of comedy. It’s just that it’s seems difficult execute and bad horror-coms are especially rough to sit through.

The wrong way to do it: The Predator The right way to do it: It 2017

Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, Young Frankenstein and I even liked Dracula Dead and Loving It.

How can anyone say horror and comedy doesn't work together when Evil Dead exists? Plus, isn't Predator thriller anyway?

I just finished watching zombieland

Ice cream and brownies

not any fart jokes? they had two

Horror and comedy are 2 different genres and mixing them is like mixing coca cola soda with Hot chocolate. Never, EVER mix comedy and horror.
