    Whoever asked this question obviously has not watched Doctor Who or Torchwood.

    Yes. Comedy can go wonderfully with any genre. That's why it's my favorite :blobokhand:

    That's the best kind of horror. I already use horror to relax my nerves, so when it comes combined with comedy, it's perfect. Recently saw this trailer: Already in the mood for it.

    Watch Tucker and Dave vs. Evil for a good example of that combination.

    Yeah ever heard of "Black Comedy"? That is Comedy with Death, Blood and such. While it isn´t Shocking Horror like it has Horror.

    Sure it leans towards comedy but it'll creep you out at night

    It can, but ultimately it depends on how well it’s done and whether it fits in a story. But basically it is possible and can be done well. Even a little joke counts

    I wasnt born lucky is somewhat horror-ish but I can still laugh reading it.
    it just depends on how afraid of horror you are to find a comedy novel horrific
