Frame By Frame: Ash vs Evil Dead - How to Mix Horror with Humor (2016x56)

Data de estreia: Out 25, 2016

People go to the movies for different reasons - some to laugh, some to see people get torn limb from limb (hey, I don't judge), and some people go for a mixture of the two. If you fall into that third category you're probably a fan of Splatstick films - a genre that blends slapstick comedy with splat horror films. And no one does this better than Sam Raimi in his films Evil Dead. In today's Frame By Frame, Kyle discusses how this genre was created and talks about the tricky balancing act these films need to accomplish.
