    The thread in the horror section gave me this idea.

    I'd describe genre blender film/book as something that combines two or more types of genre. As an example, Breaking Bad would be a mixture of a contemporary and a western.

    My favourite would be True Romance. It starts out as a strange romance at the beginning, but changes halfway through.

    Would Alien count as a blend of sci-fi/horror? Apollo 18 could count too in the sci-fi/horror blend.

    Twin Peaks crosses many genres as a TV show; drama, supernatural, comedy (dark, albeit)...

    Game of Thrones for its interesting fusion of sadist fantasy and hardcore pornography.
