The Balance of Life: Exploring the Light and Dark Through Horror and Comedy

Horror and comedy may seem like opposites, but both are deeply connected to life’s experiences. Life isn’t necessarily filled with horrific things (it most definitely can be), but it’s often unsettling, worrisome, and full of disappointments.
