Horror-comedy is a generic hybrid that deliberately provokes an emotional shift from terror, suspense, or dread to hilarity. In comedy-horror—its relative—a playful tone predominates, but it is undercut by horrific or startling events or effects. Horror-comedy traces its literary antecedents to the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage at least, as well as to gothic fiction and the Grand Guignol, but the particular type or flavor of humor employed by horror-comedy film can range from mordant wit to slapstick or, in the case of splatter-horror-comedy, “splatstick.” The particular type of comedy in horror-comedy tends to emerge cyclically, often following then parodying horror film cycles as they appear, become popular, and wane. For example, old “spooky house” films of the silent and early sound eras parodied melodramas originally written for the stage; monster films from the 1930s were later parodied in the 1940s and 1950s; slasher films and splatter horror in the 1970s and 1980s quickly gave way to gross-out humor in the later 1980s and 1990s. The cycles have accelerated so rapidly that “serious” slasher films and torture-porn horror films of the late 1990s and early 21st century are themselves marked by self-reflexive in-jokes and intertextual allusions—for example, the Scream franchise and Joss Whedon’s Cabin in the Woods (2012). Rarely addressed in film scholarship as a genre unto itself, horror-comedy is often placed within the broader categories of horror film, cult film, exploitation, “trash” film, or, less often, comedy. This range is reflected in the sources listed in this article: while some sources will be devoted solely to horror-comedy as a generic hybrid, a subgenre, or an aesthetic mode, many may discuss horror-comedy only in a brief section of a larger argument, or in terms of a specific filmmaker or film. This entry is organized as it is in order to underscore the affective richness of horror-comedy and the long history both of horror and comedy as aesthetic modes, while avoiding conflation with categories already well represented in other articles (see in particular Ernest Mathijs’s Exploitation Film). Despite often being ignored by scholars in favor of one of its two constituent genres, horror-comedy is not an uncontested field. Critics have, for instance, sharply debated the cultural value of horror-comedy films that invoke literary and aesthetic antecedents to play with the thin line between horror and laughter, versus horror-comedy that trades in broad humor or exploitative gore. The majority of horror-comedy scholarship in English focuses on Anglo-American examples, which is reflected in this article. However, the International Horror-Comedy section reflects the global popularity of horror film and suggests that the increasing globalization of the film industry is making possible greater transcultural communication even in such difficult-to-translate modes as horror-comedy.
