it is october, here are some horror films. mostly lighthearted or semi-silly ones.

behind the mask: the rise of leslie vernon (2006) if you like scream (1996) or anything adjacent you will like this movie. it is a horror-comedy mockumentary following a man named leslie vernon who dreams of becoming the next slasher to get a franchise.

re-animator (1985) another horror-comedy-ish one, this time an adaptation of Lovecrafts self-proclaimed worst story. there is a scene most everyone chooses to skip in this one so look up timestamps for that, but it is funny, gory, & deeply homosexual. it is about herbert west & dan cain, two medical students who meet after herbert transfers from switzerland. they move in together to save on rent and dan quickly learns herbert is trying to use his education to re animate the dead.

Lisa Frankenstein (2024) an outcast girl in the 80s falls in love with the idea of a statue at a cemetery. lightning brings the grave beneath it to life, shenanigans ensue. horror-comedy-romance, very silly & reminds me greatly of your theme.
