Deadly obsession
With the exception of Lake Laach, the volcanoes in the Eiffel should actually be extinct. So where does the gas cloud of carbon dioxide that forms in the underground tunnels of the Ofenkaulen come from? Is it related to the earthquake two days ago or is there another reason? While Gerd Bach and his friends search for the cause, Emma has to confront her past in order to protect her Berlin colleagues from assassination attempts that are actually aimed at her. Can Gerd and his team protect the local population from the extreme threat of a planned sabotage and track down the person responsible? Will Emma manage to stop the insane serial killer before he kills again?

Hybrid films that straddle more than one genre are not unusual. But when seemingly incongruous genres are mashed together, such as horror and comedy, filmmakers often have to tread carefully to produce a cohesive, satisfying work. Though they date as far back as James Whale’s Bride of Frankenstein (1935), horror-comedies have only recently become popular attractions for movie goers. In The Laughing Dead: The Horror-Comedy Film from Bride of Frankenstein to Zombieland, editors Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper have compiled essays on the comic undead that look at the subgenre from a variety of perspectives. Spanning virtually the entire sound era, this collection considers everything from classics like The Canterville Ghost to modern cult favorites like Shaun of the Dead. Other films discussed include Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, House on Haunted Hill, ParaNorman, Scream, Vampire’s Kiss, and Zombieland. Contributors in this volume consider a wide array of comedic monster films—from heartwarming (The Book of Life) to pitch dark (The Fearless Vampire Killers) and even grotesque (Frankenhooker). The Laughing Dead will be of interest to scholars and fans of both horror and comedy films, as well as those interested in film history and, of course, the proliferation of the undead in popular culture.
