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.

    You left out an important note about PLAN 9: Bela Lugosi had died in 1956, 3 years earlier (this is covered in ED WOOD). Rifftrax did a good job with this one, once as a regular and once as a live show.

    The first time that I saw this was in college as a Friday night double feature with Phil Tucker’s 1953 sci-fi “epic” Robot Monster. Needless to say, I’ll never get those 3 hours — or those poor brain cells — back. Oh well, sacrifices must be made…

      Oh, the horror! How could you stand two such awful movies back-to-back?

        It didn’t hurt that there was $1/slice pizza and $.50 soft drinks with $.10 refills.

    I think I agree about Ed Wood being Tim Burton’s best movie, though Beetlejuice deserves consideration too

    Holy whiskers of Sekhmet! Yet another great cult classic, nyao?! For an encore, there should be a Cult Movie A Day calendar next! Especially because there are so many cult movies on this list already!

    Ah! How could I forget? Plan 9 From Outer Space was SO bad it actually earned a Golden Turkey award for Worst Movie Ever Made! And considering some of the stinkers I’ve sat through (like Hell Comes to Frogtown, Robot Monster, or Argh! Zombies) that’s saying quite a bit!!

    Let’s face it, Plan 9 is so bad it’s not just good, it goes straight through awful and comes out the other side as comedically genius horrendous! I mean, what can you say about a movie where one of the stars dies before filming ends and is replaced by a “double” that not only looks nothing like him, is not even the same height, but goes around with his face covered by a cheesy cape while hunching over to hide the fact that he looks literally nothing like the actor he’s supposed to be doubling for?
