Horror Spoofs and Parodies: Dying of Laughter

This edited collection explores the world of the horror parody.

Horror Spoofs and Parodies examines how people take the works that make us scream and transform them into ones that make us laugh. It explores famous parodies such as the Abbott and Costello Meet... films, Young Frankenstein, and Scary Movie, as well as lesser-known works such as Psycho Beach Party and Student Bodies, to see how they make the scary funny. This book takes us around the world to see horror parody in Brazil, Cuba, China, and Turkey, and moves us beyond the silver screen to unpack horror parodies in video games, board games, and web videos.
