Here’s a concise interesting feature about Pirates of the Caribbean (the film series):

The franchise mixes classic swashbuckling adventure with supernatural horror, comedy, and fantasy—combining sword fights and pirate lore with cursed undead sailors, voodoo, and sea monsters—letting it appeal to fans of multiple genres and enabling wildly inventive set pieces (e.g., the cursed crew of the Black Pearl, Davy Jones’s tentacled face, and the Maelstrom battle in the third film).
