A hybrid genre is a genre of mixed origin or composition, when two or more genres are combined together in order to create a media product that is a mix of genres. This is different to a sub-genre as a sub-genre is a category that forms a specific class within a larger genre or group, whilst hybrid films are a way to create more opportunities for script writing and plot lines which can make the film more entertaining for its audience.
The most common horror film hybrids include:
Comedy/Horror: Scary Movie and Zombieland
Sci-Fi/Horror: Dark Skies and Pitch Black
Action/Horror: Jaws and The Terminator and The Shallows
Romance/Horror: Twilight
Romance/Horror/Comedy: Warm Bodies and Vampires Suck
Horror/War: Dead Snow
Horror/Historical/Drama: Pride, Prejudice and Zombies
Action/Horror/Comedy/Sci-Fi: Attack the Block
Hybrid genres open up a vast amount of opportunities for filmmakers and also expands their audience to fans of the other genres. This means if a film is a hybrid genre it is slightly less predictable, more exciting and earns as much money as possible for the film production company.
