Laughing to Death: A Look at Horror Comedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798564456913)

As far as film genres go, two of the most popular and distinct are horror and comedy. So, what happens when you mix them together? You get everything from the social satire of John Carpenter's They Live to the madness of the Evil Dead series, to early works from future auteur Peter Jackson, to Jordan Peele's acclaimed Get Out. Prepare yourself for an illustrated history of movies (and a few TV shows) that have mixed chills with chuckles, from Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein to Stranger Things. We'll take a look at plenty of fan favorites and cult classics, and even examine the influence of humor on the time-honored slasher genre.
