For those seeking lighter fare, "The Addams Family" (1991), directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, offers a campy, gothic comedy based on Charles Addams' characters. Its sequel, "Addams Family Values," is also available. Michael J. Fox stars in the 1985 coming-of-age comedy "Teen Wolf," about a high school basketball player who discovers he is a werewolf. The 2000 parody "Scary Movie," by Keenen Ivory Wayans, satirizes popular horror films like "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

Luca Guadagnino's 2022 film "Bones & All," starring Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet, blends romance with cannibalism.
