"Supernatural horror isn't just scary. It can include a compelling love story, and there are certainly examples among the best supernatural horror movies of films with an emphasis on comedy. These things are sometimes obscured by Freddy Krueger rising back into existence from the hellfire one naturally finds in dog urine. Or by Pinhead answering the call of some idiot who can't just leave well enough (or that damn puzzle box) alone.
Nonetheless, these tropes and others can be woven into everything you would expect from a supernatural horror film.
Thank goodness these creatures are (probably) not real. Can you imagine trying to mow your lawn, but having to call the afternoon off, because your moron neighbor buried his creepy twin daughters in the nearby pet cemetery?
Exactly. It would be so damn frustrating."
