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.
Not really a fan of these, or the remakes, or the Rob Zombie knockoffs, House of 1000 Corpses, only because everyone dies in them. There’s never that one person who gets away, only to die in the next film. Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween (have not seen the Rob Zombie one), stuff like that. That’s also why I am picky about what Japanese stuff I read/watch, they love endings like that too. Everyone dies, the end.

Mike i’m remiss to spoil this film for you but uh… she lives.
“Everyone dies, the end.”
As I recall, Mr. Shakespeare took a quick sojourn into that particular genre as well…

Speaking of which, the film version is AMAZING, if a bit explicit at times.
I have an aunt who claimed she once dated the guy who played Leatherface. I can only speculate why their relationship didn’t work out.
