what are some of your favorite comedies?

Yeah, I feel like they're both looked at as sort of culturally "low art" but that is what enables them to smuggle in actual social commentary. People don't have their guards up, so to speak.

I find I care more about characters in a horror film when it also makes me laugh. For instance, I usually want every a-hole in a zombie movie to die, but that wasn't the case in Shaun of the Dead.

They are very related. Both build up expectation and then subvert & surprise in an attempt to elicit an involuntary audible reaction from the audience.

Yup. And both REQUIRE that you actually know what you're doing. No fudging. As any NBA fan will tell ya, "ball don't lie."

Can we start mentioning Drew Goddard, yet? The Cabin in the Woods was as good as any of the works by those previously mentioned. Not to mention, in non-horror, the brilliance of the first 4 episodes of Daredevil, Bad Times at the El Royale, Alias. He's a great tonal shifter.

So related! They both rely on surprise and specificity, and use novel and uncanny twists on reality, to evoke tension and catharsis of very primal and un-fool-able emotional reactions in a carefully managed pattern

It makes sense that some of the things I've found most get under my skin have a foundation or creator based in comedy, like Get Out. Another example is the Inside No. 9 Helloween special https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bqn4g3/inside-no-9-live-dead-line …

Comedy is all about tension and release. I know it’s not horror, but Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade is made all the better because Bo is so well versed in tension.
