Dead Funny

The Humor of American Horror

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.
