Comic relief

The comic relief is a funny scene in a horror/suspense movie. It's often used in horror films to free the constant tension for a moment. 

I laughed in some horror films, in that comic relief. I laughed in the film Sleepy Hollow, when the main character, Ichabod Crane, was frightened, hiding behind the blankets of his bed, because he had seen the headless horseman. Also, it was very funny when he fainted.
