Everyone is invited to my house for a movie marathon. Since it's October, all the films will be scary. Since I don't like being frightened, they will all be comedy-horror movies. The funnier, the better. Please bring your own soda and popcorn :)
Wikipedia explains this particular movie genre like this: "While comedy horror films provide scares for audiences, they also provide something that dramatic horror films do not: 'the permission to laugh at your fears, to whistle past the cinematic graveyard and feel secure in the knowledge that the monsters can't get you'."
Each book you read is worth 6 hours of movie watching. You must watch (read) for at least 24 hours to complete the movie marathon.

Everyone is invited to my house for a movie marathon. Since it's October, all the films will be scary. Since I don't like being frightened, they will all be comedy-horror movies. The funnier, the better. Please bring your own soda and popcorn :)
Wikipedia explains this particular movie genre like this: "While comedy horror films provide scares for audiences, they also provide something that dramatic horror films do not: 'the permission to laugh at your fears, to whistle past the cinematic graveyard and feel secure in the knowledge that the monsters can't get you'."
Each book you read is worth 6 hours of movie watching. You must watch (read) for at least 24 hours to complete the movie marathon.
