Well said. I would describe the movies pretty much they way you guys do. Good example for where you'd put it in a video store; which is the question I'm asking, but I would put Pan's Labyrinth in Fantasy and Young Frankenstein in Comedy.

But I would put Shawn of the Dead in Comedy, and Evil Dead 2 in Horror. My reason would be, I think ED2 was intended as a Horror movie, and Shawn was intended as a comedy, and I think it really comes across in the movie. I think more horror fans would like ED2 than comedy fans. And although some comedy fans may not like Shawn, I personally know a few non-horror fans who really liked Shawn, and they're comedy fans. There's a mainstream element in Shawn that's often absent from horror movies. Such as mainstream comedy actors, and the underlying bedrock sensibility is comedy, where one feels safe and in that way one never believes it's real. As an example, killing the first zombie: I think the establishment of the comedy is made so the audience is OK with laughing at the killing. Where that isn't the case in Dawn of the Dead and ED2. Oddly, in the last point I bring up about Shawn, I think that's absent in The Return of the Living Dead, which I would put on the horror shelf; although that would seem inconsistent to most.

Pan's Labyrinth, I would have to talk some horror fans into seeing it. "It's not like Disney's Labyrinth with Daivd Bowie. It's the director who did Mimic, accept it's way better!" LOL Pan is like a Grimm's tale. It's certainly dark with horror sensibilities.
