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.

    ‘Falling Angel’, the original novel by William Hjortsberg, approaches perfection in its blend of hard-boiled noir and supernatural thriller.

    (Huh, according to Wikipedia it got adapted into an opera too? Yeah, I could see that working.)

    I like Lisa Bonet. She played my favorite character on a sitcom starring a comedian whose name I can’t remember.

    “…only one film features or ever will feature a death by gumbo”: that sounds like a challenge, both to horror film buffs and aspiring film-makers.

      Well, someone might latch on to how “gumbo” is a Southernism for particularly gooey, gluey mud, and find some examples that way. But I think we all know what Shaenon means here, so I reckon death by mud would be kind of a cheat. Still, who knows what the future holds?

        To qualify as gumbo, it must contain okra.

          The soup, that is, not the mud. I read these days that gumbo started out meaning any okra. But when I was a kid folks only applied the name to those pods that had grown too big and woody to eat boiled or fried, ones that had to be stewed.
