If An American Werewolf in London hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: black humor
The difference: Not nearly as dreamlike

Both keep coming back to the same thing: mortality

Both land wit and play at once

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath

Dreamlike comedy, and it commits to that

Common ground: grief
The difference: Leans further into thriller

Both are John Landis's work, and they rhyme

Horror with a pulse of wit, in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: transformation

Both are built on the same subject: grief
The difference: 59 years apart, and the 1920s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black humor

Fantasy built on dread, twice over
In the mood for more witty?
