Defining
a film as horror is not so simple not only is the genre an umbrella for a range
of themes and sub-genres but the genre can be hybridised. Some hybrid horror
films would seem extremely unconventional such as comedic-horror two genres
which appear to be opposite but if done well has been proven to be a successful
match. Examples of comedy-horror films would be the Scary Movie films and Shaun
of the Dead. These films allow for a joke and tend to amplify the conventions
of a horror almost to mocking point.
