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.

    Fun Fact: Much like a Frankenstein Monster, Duel got dug up and pieced together into an episode of the Incredible Hulk about a decade later.

      Another: The roaring sound effect Spielberg used at the climax was taken from an old monster movie (IMDB says Creature from the Black Lagoon, but some “making of” documentary I once saw showed dinosaurs). Spielberg himself recycled the roar for the climax of Jaws.

    Next to The Night Stalker (1972), Duel is probably one of the best Made-for-TV movies ever shown.
