Hybrid Post

Hybrid Genre
A hybrid is a combination of the two or more genres
hybrids can have larger audiences due to appealing to more people through their multiple genres. this would be more lucrative for the film companies. some people consider them more exciting and creative.
horror movies are perennially popular, film makers might start with a set of horror paradigms to guarantee interest, before throwing other tropes into the mix.
this gives us genre hybrids like:
horror romance (twilight)
horror war (dead snow)
horror historical drama (pans labyrinth)

Combining two genres will pull both audiences for the separate genres to watch the film this gives the film a bigger target audience and increases the enhances of the film making the company profit.
genres are not static, but evolve. therefore their common attributes change over time. most films are hybrid genres, since they possess the common attributes of more than one genre. -Warren Buckland
