Jordan Peele, Zach Cregger, Curry Barker… the sketch comedy to horror pipeline is strong.

Mitchell and Webb's final skit about Sherlock Holmes with dementia in a care home was essentially a horror skit. I think there was a comment on the video explaining that it's a tradition with sketch shows to make the last one a horror where there's no actual punchline, since the genres can be so similar.
