Why these movies?
The story pattern: These stories often follow a simple, straightforward plot, such as a bumbling investigation or a chaotic encounter with the supernatural, which serves as a framework for a rapid-fire sequence of gags and comedic set pieces. Character arcs are secondary to the humor, with protagonists typically being incompetent or eccentric figures navigating a ridiculous version of a horror scenario.
Why they belong together: They are grouped by their shared light tone, fast pacing, and primary goal of making audiences laugh through satire and parody of well-known horror genres. The experience is defined by a consistent, playful mood where nothing is meant to be taken seriously.
