About this product
Product Information
Dead Funny: The Humor of American Horror explores the intersection of horror and humor in contemporary popular culture. Author David Gillota situates humor as an integral part of the horror genre and examines this intersection by focusing on the playful nature of horror, the depiction of monstrosity, body horror, queer theory, awkwardness, and satire. Humor's function within horror is ripe for reexamination, especially given the rise of diverse voices engaging humor and horror, like Jordan Peele and Ana Lily Amirpour. Because there is no single or all-encompassing way in which humor operates in horror, the book classifies and analyzes multiple comic devices and modes that have been widely present since horror emerged as a recognizable film genre in the 1930s. Through this engaging analysis, Dead Funny challenges and complicates many of the most common assumptions about the horror genre.

Reviews
Historically, horror scholarship has often displayed an almost phobic disregard for horror-comedies and the comedy in horror. You almost would not know that horror is often intricately enmeshed with comedy. David Gillota's Dead Funny corrects this omission, taking on comedic horror from the silent era to Jordan Peele with care and rigor. And the best part: it is even funny., Dead Funny offers a brilliant rethinking of the horror genre as profoundly comic. Exploring parody, the comic monster, body humor, queer camp, cringe comedy, and satire, Dead Funny serves up a comprehensive look at humor's centrality to the structure and tone of US horror film since the 1930s. You'll be surprised at some of the films that come up in David Gillota's provocative book--but I guarantee you'll also be convinced., Dead Funny offers a brilliant rethinking of the horror genre as profoundly comic. Exploring parody, the comic monster, body humor, queer camp, cringe comedy, and satire, Dead Funny serves up a comprehensive look at humor's centrality to the structure and tone of U.S. horror film since the 1930s.
