FAQ

What is this?

I select a thematically appropriate horror movie for each day of the year and tell you about it.

Why?

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

How do you get to decide what qualifies as a horror movie and where each one goes on the calendar?

I am the Mayor of Horror Movies.

Are all these movies good?

Oh gosh no. But I recommend all of them to the adventurous viewer.

What’s with the CWs?

In horror movies, disturbing material is part of the entertainment package. But for some viewers, elements like sexual violence or bigotry ruin the fun. For those folks, I include content warnings. That said, the warnings are based on my personal reactions and should not be expected to cover all potential cinematic skeeviness, so proceed with caution.

Who are you, aside from the mayor?

I’m Shaenon K. Garrity. I’m mostly a cartoonist. I watch a lot of scary movies while I draw cartoons.

Chapter: August

Horror Every Day is back! Sorry for the delay; my computer was down for the last week, leaving me tragically unable to share horror movies with the world. But that’s all in the past now. Enjoy all the horror movies for all the days!

Lake Mungo is a real lake with some very specific associations for Australians. Probably why they chose the title. (I don’t know if those associations are taken advantage of in the film – I want to see this film but haven’t yet.)

Truly a great subtly creepy gem, taking what it does up to 11 like just about every Australian movie I’ve seen.
