Why comedy and horror work so well together

is not an easy noodle to suck in:
because, people want to laugh and feel 
scared!
at the same time…
for full effect!

It is just like being high
and drunk,
learning to multitask, 
the ukulele, 
speak Russian,
and crochet 
while driving 
three hours 
to the beach 
for a day 

Creepshow is a great movie 
that combines
all the good stuff: 

art and acting,
comedy and horror: 

“I want my cake!
Where is my 
Father’s Day cake?!”
