Personally, I love horror comedy. I find a good one endlessly rewatchable. Cabin in the Woods, Return of the Living Dead, Tucker & Dale, Scream, frigging Killer Klowns from Outer Space! Definitely my favorite.

Otherwise I’m really into paranormal & zombie horror. I think that would make up my top three. Fast > slow zombies.

    “Situational,” if that’s a thing? Especially with surreal elements.

    Curve short film as example. I’m existentially afraid of spillways now.

    Another example which is body horror on the surface, but the situation is the real scary thing as you find out alongside the main character exactly how fucked up things are in his world and how betrayed he is by authority: Operator (link is to the 2nd in the series, but that’s the one where the plot takes off)

    Pop culture examples:
