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.
When facing CHUDs its important to remember that guns won’t work. Fire won’t work. Only swords will work. If in neighborhood with a high-risk of CHUD infestation remember to have access to swords.
I remember when this came, I wanted to see it so bad, the movie posters all looked so cool! in ’84 I was only 6 though, and my mom wouldn’t let me see it. She took me to Rambo 2 though. That woman had some strange ideas about what I could and couldn’t see. Friday 13th was no, Nightmare on Elm St was ok. Wouldn’t let me see Top Gun or Total recall, but Night of the Living Dead, Monty Python, and Rocky Horror were ok.
