I am fine with whatever. I would have no problems with sheer terror followed by something more whimsical. Even mixing humorous moments in with the horror or vice versa.

I am also open to whichever, though if we go humorous, i prefer not to go to the Looney Toons/Beavis and butthead end of the spectrum. I still like there to be a plot line.

something like this is fine with me but i did vote for the middle between goofy and straight up horror.

But if we do go more like walking dead or 13 ghosts I'm game for that as well.

Been thinking about this more and wanted to say that I don't do straight up horror. Walking dead, Rosemary's Baby, Amityville Horror House, the ring, etc. Those aren't for me.

I did love Saturday the 14th, Dale and Tucker vs Evil, etc. So I'd vote for somewhere in the middle: ghostly interactions with a humorous outlook from the PCs. Something like that.

Something more like a horror films Bruce Campbell would be in is more my speed anyway thanks for that added reply Rusty

Dale & Tucker vs Evil, Ash vs Evil Dead, Stan Against Evil, Shaun of the Dead anything like those is great.

I play in two Call of Cthulhu campaigns at present, so I have the horror genre pretty well covered. Something a bit whimsical would be good, just not ridiculous please. As I said in my post in the other thread, no pet ghosts (unless it's solely being experimented on) and no Junior Ghostbusters (unless they're also being experimented on... j/k ;D). I've always said comedy is more funny when it's unexpected and/or contrasts the general tone of the narrative. I generally don't watch or read anything that's specifically created to be funny, because more times than not, it really isn't. I do like to joke and laugh as anyone else, but it's more worthwhile when it's unexpected.

I love all of the feedback here so far! Keep it coming if you think of anything. I am seeing a general middle ground vote so far, which is excellent for me to be honest. I am better at middle ground where I can pull out a creepy scene now and then but break the tension a little with a pun or playing off character reactions to build tension again. The skeleton of the first "campaign" is ready now, I will be working on the main "current" Loredrop here tonight if all goes well. The 1986-1997 you pretty well know from the movies etc. So if you know those you are pretty good to go.

I am of the opinion the best humor in the series was always when it was undercutting come cosmic horror so i think they both kind of work. I definitely prefer the tone in the films and IDW comics to Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters(tm) if that makes sense.
