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.

    This film is amazing. I heard about it for years, and finally got around to seeing it about 5 years ago. It’s like no other movie I’ve ever seen – “fairy-tale beauty” is an apt description, certainly. Easily the best performance of Robert Mitchum’s career.

    This is one of those things that make you want to bitch-slap history. The film wasn’t very successful, and Laughton was too discouraged to ever again direct. Now it’s considered one of the best films ever, but we’ll never see how Laughton might have surpassed it.

    This is a FANTASTIC movie. I recently read the novel and it is also amazing. The adaptation is really faithful. Both the novel and the movie have a surreal “fairy-tale” hyper-reality of it’s child POV character trying to make sense of the circumstances they are trapped in. The book because it lets you get a little more the characters’ heads for an even better understanding of their motivations.
