The dual genres of horror and comedy have more in common than one might notice at first glance. In fact, films which mix comedy and horror together have become important touchstones in monsterfic--from Dick Briefer's 1945 comedic take on the Frankenstein Monster and 1948's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, to 1981's An American Werewolf in London (1981) and 1987's Monster Squad, to 2004's Shaun of the Dead and 2019's Little Monsters. Far from being opposing genres, comedy and horror often serve to complement each other. Below, find links to great articles about monster comedy movies and TV, books, comics, and games.
