Comedy duo Cheech and Chong are now writing a horror movie

Cheech and Chong, the Grammy Award-winning comedy duo, while speaking to an international media outlet said that they are now trying to develop a horror movie. Tommy Chong reportedly said that he is writing a horror story because he feels like it is a rite of passage for every big comedy duo. However, he is not exactly confident that the project will ever actually get made as he himself is not a big fan of the horror genre. 

The comedy duo last hit the big screen together back in 1884 in The Corsican Brothers, are they are now keen to reunite as the lovable stoner duo. Tommy Chong, in an interview with an international media outlet, said that every comedy team before they broke up always had a horror movie including, Abbott and Costello and Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. He further added that, however, at present, his agent is working with him on a lot of things.
