Idle Hands

As a quintessential horror-comedy, "Idle Hands" primarily elicits **Humor** from its audience, driven by the absurd premise of a slacker's possessed hand and the darkly comedic situations it creates, including headless parents and reanimated friends. This leads to general feelings of **Joy** and **Happiness** as viewers are entertained by the outlandish plot and comedic performances. While elements of **Fear**, **Anxiety**, and **Disturbing** content are present due to the horror aspects (violence, gore, the threat of the hand), these are frequently undercut or exaggerated for comedic effect, making them less intense than in a pure horror film. **Surprise** comes from both unexpected comedic turns and occasional horror scares, while **Anticipation** is generated by wondering what chaos the hand will unleash next, often leading to **Relief** when a particularly absurd or dangerous situation is resolved.
