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.
Way back when, I saw part 1 and then part 2 back to back and was very confused, as they are the same movie, plotwise. Then I saw Army of Darkness and had retconning explained to me.
This one doesn’t even really contain tree rape, just open-ended tree abduction. It was clearly BASED on the tree rape scene from the first movie, but not only is it not shown in this one, I wouldn’t even say it’s clearly implied except by association.
Raimi managed to remake EVIL DEAD I in half the space then made a full sequel in the second half. And then followed it up with an Action Comedy that kinda used horror elements.
I was thinking that “body horror” for his hand would be appropriate, then realized that “body comedy” would be even more appropriate.

Evil Dead 2 is the absolute apex of whatever the hell it is
