Fantasy Comedy

A type of film that uses magic or supernatural/mythological figures for comic purposes. Most fantasy comedy includes an element of parody, or satire, turning many of the fantasy conventions on their head; the hero becomes ridiculously heroic, the beautiful princess is a klutz, etc.... There are also films about a ghost or angel who either becomes someone's guardian and helper, or who torments someone comedically from the other side. Or, in the case of Beetlejuice, poltergeists can torment people just to have fun.
