Zeus 03/21/18 5:14:01 PM #3:	Alien was literally the first thing that came to mind when you said this, tbh. And yeah, I enjoyed Aliens. Terminator 2 also took the franchise from horror (robot Michael Myers) to action and, while I didn't like that movie as much, it had some great action scenes. And I love Gremlins 2 which was a lot heavier on the comedy and more child-friendly than Gremlins 1 (partly because I liked the variation in Gremlins -- still half-kicking myself for not buying NECA's Bat-Gremlin. Going to need to see what the after-market prices look like now.) Most major genre shifts tend to be hit or miss, though. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:898234428] in Do you lik...

Troll_Police_ 03/21/18 5:41:06 PM #6:	Evil Dead was a sort of cringey, shitty, b-list attempt at a horror movie Evil Dead 2 was pure comedy. the creators realized how campy it all was, and leaned into it hard, throwing any notion of horror out the fucking window Army of Darkness didnt even try to look anything like a horror movie, and leaned even harder into the goofy comedy shit --- Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment?

Zeus 03/22/18 1:57:20 PM #7:	Also brings to mind House and House 2: The Second Story. The original was a horror-comedy (involving an alcoholic author experiencing supernatural events after moving into his deceased aunt's place and chooses to stay since he believes that it might hold clues to the fate of his missing son). The sequel was an action/fantasy involving a guy who discovers his zombie cowboy great, great, great, etc, grandfather where they then race another zombie cowboy to find a magic skull (and it's actually even goofier than it sounds). Enjoyed them both. Third and fourth apparently go in other different directions, although they're more horror. Haven't seen either, although I'm mildly curious about the fourth. The third doesn't even have "House" in the name in the US. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:898287994] in Do you lik...
