ALL good horror movies need little comedy to balance things out. Sure, AWIL has more than most, but let's look at some of the greats: THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE BLACK CAT, KING KONG, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, DAWN OF THE DEAD, THE EXORCIST, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, and the EVIL DEAD series, to name a few. All are noted for both their horror, and their humor.


I despise the EVIL DEAD sequels and DEAD ALIVE (aka "BRAIN DEAD"), as well as films like those silly RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD jokefests.

I think there is a difference between "comic relief" in horror films and comedies masquerading as horror films - like AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.

I love BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN even though there's comedy, but it's still more of a fairytale story to me than anything, so it works for me.
