Beschreibung
Covering everything from the use of slapstick in Final Destination to the comedy of awkwardness in Get Out, Dead Funny locates humor as a key element in the American horror film. It explores how the genre uses physical comedy, parody, satire, and camp to comment on gender, sexuality, and racial politics.
