01
The Witches of Eastwick
Why this pick
Its glossy supernatural satire, vain romantic warfare, and escalating body-horror absurdity make it a close cousin to Death Becomes Her’s campy, wickedly performed fantasy.

02
She-Devil
Why this pick
A deliciously mean rivalry between women drives this stylized revenge comedy, with Meryl Streep delivering the same kind of grand, image-obsessed glamour that powers Death Becomes Her.
03
The Stepford Wives
Why this pick
For its polished suburban artifice, sharp female-centered satire, and deliberately cartoonish darkness, this keeps Death Becomes Her’s blend of beauty culture and macabre comedy.
04
The Addams Family
Why this pick
Its lavish production design, deadpan morbidity, and affectionate embrace of elegant grotesquerie offer a similarly playful, visually rich dose of death-adjacent humor.
05
Serial Mom
Why this pick
Kathleen Turner anchors this impeccably dressed suburban nightmare with the same relish for outrageous behavior, acidic jokes, and cheerfully escalating darkness.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In 1978, narcissistic, manipulative actress Madeline Ashton performs in an awful musical version of ''Sweet Bird of Youth'' on Broadway theatre. She invites long-time rival Helen Sharp, an aspiring writer, backstage along with Helen's fiancé, plastic surgeon Ernest Menville. Ernest is smitten with Madeline, and breaks off his engagement with Helen to marry her. Seven years later, in 1985, Helen winds up in a psychiatric hospital after fixating upon Madeline. Obese and depressed, Helen feigns rehabilitation and is released, plotting revenge on Madeline.
