When mixing two things together, you either get a perfect combo or a piece of total garbage you can't use anywhere. It's all about the chemistry between the two. They either work or don't. Think simple science: mixing water with sugar, you get a solution; however, mixing water with oil won't work the same. And the same principle goes pretty much with all things in life. Let's think of the things that DON'T go well together. Hmm.. drink and drive, love and ego, spicy food and water, pizza and pineapple (highly controversial, I must say), or Kristen Stewart and facial expressions.
However, they say that opposites attract. However, do they work? Let's think of two utterly opposing film genres - horror movies and comedy movies. The baby of the two - a horror comedy. And these mutants exist; believe me or not, they are doing pretty well at the box office. Entering a comedy, we expect to laugh. We hope to tremble, jump, and scream in horror when watching scary movies. In the best horror comedies, we anticipate both: to cover our eyes from monstrosity one moment and giggle the next. Pretty mixed signals, eh?
Well, don't you try to argue that you're not into that! Yes, I know you keep messaging that boy who is a walking red flag. Okay, okay, that's none of my business (block him). All jokes aside, horror comedies depict our shared experience of terrible and absurd real-life situations that leave us unable to decide whether to laugh or holler for help. And heck, scary comedy movies are made for entertaining. You are not supposed to learn someone's biography from the plot. You sit down, occasionally wipe your sweaty palms on your jeans, periodically gasp in horror and, from time to time, crack a smile at a silly joke the protagonists made.
Below, we've compiled some of the best horror comedy movies worthy of your attention that will leave you perplexed. If you are a fan of this genre, let us know your favorite horror comedy. And, as always, have fun watching!
