* ''Film/MarsAttacks'', like ''Men in Black'' just below, is usually thought of as being sci-fi comedy rather than horror comedy, but uses many horror comedy tropes in the depiction of its antagonists.

* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' is a [[spoiler:DisguisedHorrorStory version of one. The game's first act is very lighthearted and practically a SliceOfLife RomanticComedy features the four main girls and the protagonist's enjoying their lives with lots of lighthearted comedy. Sure, there's some cracks like the MoodWhiplash of Sayori's chronic depression and Yuri cutting herself, but it's still relatively heartfelt... until Sayori [[DrivenToSuicide kills herself]] due to MindRape PsychicAssistedSuicide from the BigBad, Monika. Things get ''really'' OffTheRails as a result as Monika becomes an outright malicious force and the setting devolves into PsychologicalHorror, {{Jump Scare}}s, Yuri going full {{Yandere}} and the setting turning out to be a digital CosmicHorrorStory... while much of the nightmarish descent is regularly broken up into various moments of {{Bathos}} to offset the attention, such as Monika hacking in her own version of the poem minigame and the silliness of Act 1 being a fitting MoodWhiplash device for the far darker later acts.]]
