And people DO crack jokes in horrible situations in order to relieve tension- it's part of the survival instinct.

Most MODERN horror comedies are terrible. That's just my opinion- but some notable exceptions are The Evil Dead movies and Shaun of the Dead. The Scary Movie tyoe stuff isn't my cupof tea- I think those are just bad filmmaking. There are some great classic horror comedies like The Raven, the original Little Shop of Horrors and Comedy of Terrors.

Horror comedy is a hard genre to do well, so many of them ARE bad- but I'm not going to discount the entire genre, nor am I going to make any pompous generalizations about what type of people may or may not like them.
