Horror comedies are tough to pull off in a way that satisfies both types of fans. It's even harder to manage with comedy this dark. No one ever really talks about "the hilarious world of black-market organ harvesting", ya know? But writer/director Brea Grant largely pulls it off. Not all the time, but many times I found myself chuckling or out-right laughing at some of the comedic beats here.

There were few better times to be a wrestling fan than the late 90s. From 1996 to 2001, WWF and WCW were locked in a ratings battle to determine brand supremacy. Dubbed the Monday Night Wars, every Monday the two promotions would try to put on the more entertaining programming, and fans reaped the benefits of two wild and crazy (and at times deeply problematic) wrestling shows.
