Description

Fun and fright have long been partners in the cinema, dating back to the silent film era and progressing to the Scary Movie franchise and other recent releases.

This guide takes a comprehensive look at the comedy-horror movie genre, from the earliest stabs at melding horror and hilarity during the nascent days of silent film, to its full-fledged development with ""The Bat"" in 1926, to the Abbott and Costello films pitting the comedy duo against Frankenstein's ""Monster"", the ""Mummy"" and other Universal Studio monsters, continuing to such recent cult hits as ""Shaun of the Dead"" and ""Black Sheep"".

Selected short films such as Tim Burton's ""Frankenweenie"" are also covered.

Photos and promotional posters, interviews with actors and a filmography are included in this title.
