Comedy horror, also referred to as horror comedy, is a literary and film genre that combines elements of comedy and horror fiction. Horror comedy has been described as able to be categorized under three types: "black comedy, parody and spoof." The genre almost inevitably crosses over with the black comedy genre. Comedy horror will often use satire on horror cliches as its main source of humour or take a story in a different perspective, such as The Cabin in the Woods and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
