Has anyone seen Journey to Bethlehem (2023)? If yes then can someone do a tv tropes page on the film.
I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard it as a biblical musical where Antonio Banderas plays the villain.

I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.I think one surprise for is to watch Une Belle Course (2022), where Dany Boon, a popular French comedian performs a depressed taxi driver that drives an elderly woman to a nursing home, but then he open his ears to hear her story... then you notice that Boon is acting so well that you forgot he regularly is on comedies!!!
A good film to watch, and to cry if needed...

I’ve rediscovered Cabin in the Woods. Forgot how much I enjoyed it.
Can anyone suggest a similar film? Besides Scream? Just something in that tone and feel?

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableSeen that one. That’s a good one. Anything else?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.In terms of metafictional humor, The Final Girls?
Oh yeah, saw that one too.
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.There's Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, but its sense of humour is less overtly comedic from what I recall.
Maybe Rubber?

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableIf you want to try old-school self-aware horror comedy, try Theatre of Blood. Vincent Price plays a hammy Shakespearean actor who murders his critics using elaborate methods based on Shakespeare's plays. It's good stupid fun.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.I’ll check both of those out then.
In the meantime. I’m watching a playthrough of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. I’m suddenly interested in movies like this - the modern Gothic Urban Fantasy horror…
The ones I know of are gonna be the Underworld movies, Blade movies, I Frankenstein, The Last Witch Hunter, maybe the Crow… I’m probably forgetting some… but yeah movies with that sort of darkness and gothic sensibility in a contemporary world… can anyone else think of some?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army; in less contemporary settings, there's Van Helsing and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, though they're also more forgettable.
And a bit less fantasy than your examples, but:

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableForgot about all those. What else are we thinking?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.If you're looking for horror-comedy, it's hard to go wrong with Re-Animator. But while the story it's based on is a send-up of horror tropes, there's not a lot of meta in the film, just cheesy goodness.
If it's quality meta-textual content you're looking for, I believe you've mostly covered it already.
The Adventures of Robin Hood is a must-watch film that's filled with great music courtesy of Korngold, action scenes that feel real, Errol Flynn at his best and stunning color photography.
Bumping with my latest watch: Skinwalkers. Interesting film - if a bit too familiar. Lot of good concepts though.
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.
