I remember when some friends and I watched Pan's Labyrinth, we found the Pale Man goofy instead of frightening. We'd amuse each other by putting our hands over our eyes in imitation of him.
Sometimes the line between horror and comedy is razor-thin.
I think the original Evil Dead is like that. I think most of it is sillier than scary.
On a sidenote I dont watch a lot of horror movies but I thought the Evil Dead remake from 2013 went hard as fuck. Really dark and unsettling but in a good way.
I would contend that Pan's Labyrinth is more dark fantasy than horror, but either way it's a banger and one of the greatest works of anti-fascist cinema
There's a venn diagram with even more circles and at the center is just "clowns"
Theres a joke somewhere in here about the worst yeast infection ever but im too dumb to find it idk.
Not nearly as disturbing as the actual prequel. (The Devil's Backbone)
