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.

    Oh, yes! Danse Macabre is near-perfect as a study guide for this series! I can’t recommend it enough as a textbook on American Cold War-era Horror. (And dystopian Science Fiction, which it touches on.)

    I wish Stephen King would do an updated version of Danse Macabre, which I love, but there has been SO much horror literature and films since it was written & I would love to know what he thinks about it.

    Several of this year’s movies have been given the Rifftrax treatment, which is oftentimes the only way I have been able to see them (aside from very nebulous childhood memories of seeing them on our tiny B&W tv). That probably is not the way the original movie’s creators expected their films to reach a wider audience, but better than nothing, right?
