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.
I loved this when I saw it many years ago. Have been looking out for it since, but it doesn’t seem to get shown on any of the channels I get. Similar problem with the original The Haunting: never see it on TV, but the remake with Liam Neeson etc, is on ad nauseum (and its not very good).
It’s on Youtube as of today. Questionable quality (looks recorded off of someone’s TV), but it IS free. If you want to rent it for $1.99, it’s also on Amazon Prime as well as iTunes ($9.99 & $7.99 to own it outright, respectively). If you poke around on Amazon, the dvd pops up here and there.
I remember seeing TV commercials advertising the original release – that huge table jumping up and down really freaked out my 8-yr-old self. A very good haunted house movie, and the final revelation is one of the odder ones out there.
I love love love this movie, in all it’s glorious trashiness/campiness.
