Comedy is Tragedy + Time
Tragedy is Horror - Time

Comedy is Horror

But I will never ever forgive the intricacies of copyright law that prevented 'Freaky' from being titled 'Freaky Friday the 13th'.
Comedy is a subgenre in pretty much everything I write, so Horror Comedy is a favorite. Especially when tropes are used to great effect to subvert expectations.
Cabin in the Woods, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Zombieland, and Freaky come to mind.

M. BISON: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.
CHUN-LI: It WAS a Tuesday! Awww, so you DO remember!

Thanks!
I have not, actually
As for horror movies, The Shining tops the list, and Resident Evil 4 has been my gold standard for Horror Games for over a decade.
Hey #CRPNightcrawlers, G.M. reporting in.
Honestly, I'm not the biggest horror book guy! I lean more sci-fi and fantasy, - which is what all of my books so far have been. But I think the idea for my latest WIP lends itself to horror (and comedy), so it wouldn't work any other way.
That's the hope
It has absolutely no relevance to any events that may have occurred or are currently ongoing.
"20 years ago, Ellis and his friends defeated a horrifying monster that haunted their small New England town, but now it's back and... it's running for MAYOR?"
"IT" X "It Can't Happen Here" = "IT Can't Happen Here"
Hey everyone, I'm working on finishing my draft WIP - a political horror comedy.
"20 years ago, Ellis and his friends defeated a horrifying monster that haunted their small New England town.
Now, it's back and... it's running for MAYOR?"

Everything I write is comedy because I can't take anything seriously.
It's a horror movie from the point of view of the husband whose wife is leaving him for a Bee.
But I guess B is for Boo because it's horror.
But I prefer Bee Movie
B for Bee Movie
B for Bananarama
This is my first Camp Rev Pit. Gonna try to bring my A-game and my political/horror/comedy to the table for #CRPNightcrawlers.
But let's be real, I might only manage my B-game.
Excited to join you, too! This is also my first horror novel, and, honestly, likely to be my last. But I'm enjoying the process.
I figured, because it wasn't the same kind of joke, but it did make me sit up, squint my eyes and say aloud, "Waitaminute. Who wrote this?"
I read the whole story without realizing it was one of yours, until I got to the bit about The Punisher smiling, and then it hit me all at once.
Crocodile Magritte
I could write paragraphs about why this meme I made doesn't work, but can't explain why it does.
A three panel meme based off Crocodile Dundee. When Mick Dundee is confronted by a gang member wielding an aluminum pipe as a weapon, he says "That's not a pipe. THIS is a pipe." While holding up a picture of the pipe from Magritte 's Treachery of Images.
Poipe
No argument
You're in for a real treat
Gary Larson : Cows :: Beetle Moses : Monkeys
I don't know Beetle Moses, I've never met Beetle Moses, but this guy - he's a hell of a Beetle Moses.
Trump was actually correct. People get this confused all the time.
Jesus Christ was the doctor.
What you're thinking of is 'Jesus Christ's Monster'.
No worries. Take your time!
