Sub genres are effectively genres within genres. For example in the horror genre there are sub genres like Splatter films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splatter_film) which have excessive blood and gore, vampire films which tend to focus on vampires and slasher films where the antagonist tends to use a knife.
A hybrid is where two films fuse together. For example Shaun of the Dead was pitched by Simon Pegg as a rom-zom-com which meant it had elements of the romantic comedy mixed in with zombies. A good summary of this hybrid genre can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_comedy
I have decided to do a hybrid film of comedy and slasher horror. I will incorporate humorous moments with iconography such as knives and masks from slasher films.
