Before Jordan Peele and Zach Cregger, This Legendary Comedian Ventured Into Found Footage Horror — and It’s Deliciously Cruel
Legendary stand-up comedian Bobcat Goldthwait ventured into the world of found-footage horror with the bleak Willow Creek.

While horror is filled with different trends, one that nobody could have expected was for so many comedians to make their foray into the terrifying genre. From Jordan Peele to Zach Cregger, recent years have seen many of these performers flex their skills in this medium, often shocking viewers with how seamlessly their talent in humor and social commentary transitions to the platform. It's been thrilling to see so many artists delve into this scary genre, but it's unfortunate that there's one people always forget about. Because few comedians have come into horror with as wild a career as Bobcat Goldthwait, whether it bePolice Academy or his legally ambiguous antics on late-night TV, this stand-up has made audiences laugh for more than three decades.
