And, trying to get the musical themes and the horror themes to mesh can be awkward. Layering songs on top of a script and weaving in some choreography? Super tricky.
Can your actors sing? Can your singers act? As Joss Wheedon would note, making musicals is HARD. There’s a reason why these films are rare. The goal with any musical is to use song to elevate the dialogue to a much more impassioned voice. Perhaps the pinnacle of cult moviedom, the horror musical is a rare breed that only shows up every few years, searching for a loyal audience. Stylized, emotionally amplified, and often bafflingly strange, we have rounded (almost) all of the available horror musical titles we could find and ranked them! Sing for me! Sing my Angel of music!
For being a key Season 6 episode story-wise, having hilarious scenes and heartbreaking scenes, having catchy songs, and maintaining the fantasy/action/romance elements found throughout the show, "Once More, With Feeling" is a classic, through and through.Care to do the Time Warp (again)? We have researched and ranked the rarest of the sub-genre, the oddball unicorn film that is the Horror Musical. It's one of the most iconic musical episodes of all time, and given how Buffy traverses just about every genre and emotion, this ensures the episode qualifies as a great genre-busting musical in its own right, on top of being a great Buffy episode of course.
It runs longer than most episodes of Buffy, technically qualifying for feature-film length because it's longer than 45 minutes, and includes a unique title sequence plus a larger scale and more intricate visuals than most Buffy episodes. To include "Once More, With Feeling" among a list of feature films may be cheating, as it is technically an episode of the TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer ( and one of the best in the overall series).
