More Influential Than You Think

Horror comedies, of course, were nothing new in 1999, but they were not commonplace. As a matter of fact, Idle Hands was a dud when it hit theaters back then. More people probably remember it from being on the back cover of most comics for three months in 1999. If they had seen it though, they would realize that the blueprint for horror-comedy moving forward was created here. Idle Hands combined stoner humor, body horror, and Gen-X attitude in ways that Shaun of the Dead, Happy Death Day, and more owe a debt of gratitude to. When Idle Hands releases May 12th, pick it up and see where many modern films get their inspiration from, horror or otherwise.
