The one movie that is the closest to a true documentary that also is a Horror movie is Terror in the Aisles (1984) This move is narrated by Donald Pleasence, who starred in Halloween (1978), and Nancy Allen, who starred in Carrie (1978) and Dressed to Kill (1980). The movie is a compilation of trailers and scenes from other famous horror, crime and thriller movies. Since the movie dwells almost exclusively on the grittiest and scariest scenes, many moviegoers found themselves "in the aisles" and racing for the door.

Some consider movies, such as Blair Witch Project (1999), Paranormal Activity (2007), and Cloverfield (2008) both horror and documentary movies. However, internet Movie Database classifies only Terror in the Aisles (1984) as both a horror movie and a documentary movie. Some might say the other three are fashioned more like "reality TV" than a documentary. So, yes the former three movies are made to look like documentaries and all three were financial successes.

If you are the type of person who isn't good with horror movies than yes. The concept is kinda scary if you think on it too much but the movie itself is pretty average. Its gory like any other horror movie is.


What are some good comedy and horror movies?

A fantastic Comedy/Horror movie that I cannot recommend enough is Sweeney Todd (2007). It has a lot of black humor, but is definately a horror movie and everyone I have spoken to about it agrees that it is a modern day masterpiece. If you would like more suggestions on horror or comedy movies, I suggest you check out imdb.com for suggestions. They even have lists about the most popular comedy and horror movies of all time.

Is Friday The 13th A horror or a terror?

the adjectives horror and terror are synonyms, meaning they both mean the same thing, with terror being higher than horror on the fear scale. usually when refering to a movie that evokes terror the correct description would be horror movie not terror movie. there are different kinds of horror movies called subgenres, like splatter horror, slasher horror, torture horror... splatter is often confused with slasher but slasher movies usually depict a psychopathic serial killer hunting and killing teens. a splatter is a movie that focuses heavily on violence blood and gore. torture is self explanatory, like hostel, feardotcom... so Friday the 13th is a splasher horror film.
