Finding humor in dark places, like the conventions of horror films, is a passion for Marlon Wayans. “Like they say, laughter is the best medicine,” he explains. “When you can find humor in unexpected situations, that’s when you really become funny. We’re sending up the world around us and it’s dark sometimes, but we know how to bring in the light. Tension, comedy and horror have a similar rhythm. Once you feel that tension, then you know you’re going to be scared. And then here comes a fart joke. Tension, tension, tension, scare, joke. That’s horror-comedy.”
