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.

    Not just Heather O’Rourke. Dominique Dunne was killed by her ex-boyfriend just a few months after this film came out.

      Ah, you’re right! I should include that.

    This was one of the first horror movies I ever saw, part of a double feature with Arachnophobia at a friend’s birthday party when I was like 8. Both of them seriously messed me up. I re-watched Poltergeist a few years ago, and with another 25 years on me and a lot more experience at spotting special effects work, it wasn’t nearly as rough. The first half, before they have to rely on the special effects, tho, is still pretty intense.

    I think I was 9 or 10 years old the first time I saw this, and I recall pointedly not looking at the screen at a few points. The effects were great, and still hold up well. The acting was all pretty great, too.

    Of course, for World Television Day, Videodrome would be an excellent choice.

    I love watching the Twilight Zone episode that was a model for this movie, “Little Girl Lost.”
