| | Hey, you never saw Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid ?
I, um, uh, overlooked the fact that we'd already determined it was a comedy.
Okay, continuing to narrow it down: could it be considered a horror-comedy? |

Would it be considered a horror-comedy? I have to give this one a qualified 'Maybe' - I wouldn't, others might.

And Shannon gets the bonus points.
This really lame excuse for a film, a B movie programmer and the worst of the 'Mexican Spitfire' series, was indeed the 'A' attraction paired with Welles' 'The Magnificent Ambersons' on its initial release. RKO was busy punishing Welles who made the mistake of being out of the country when RKO re-edited the film and dumped it.
