2bh I was kinda thinking the same and also the opposite of The Villian ... I thought that with the introduction of comedy horror, more traditional horror became more ... ... Horrific?
My example is Frankenstein, the original 1931 (i think) version wasnt that scary at all, but then you get Young Frankenstein and then next thing you know you have Mary Shelleys Frankenstein with Kenneth Brannaugh and Robert DeNiro, thats a very dark and disturbing film if you ask me ...
It just seems to me that horror films are pushing moral boundaries more nowadays and I think that comedy horrors are to blame - they're taking the scaryness outta horror and turning it into a joke - the only way to combat this is to a) add comedy elements to bring in another audience or b) make the horror films so extreme that they push society laws to the brink
