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.

    Why not a boy and his dog? Or the beautiful rotties in the original omen?

      Those dogs also look super happy to be there. Same with Dracula’s Dog and all the Killer Shrews.

    I always want to say that “Cujo” was the anti-“Beethoven”, but “Beethoven” didn’t come out ’til 9 years later.

      “Beethoven” was the anti-“Cujo”.

    The thing about cats and dogs: cats just seem naturally evil (we have cats, I love & adore them, but it still creeps me out when they bring itty bitty critters home to “play” with). Now dogs CAN be evil, but it’s usually because a human made them that way (“Up” is a good if non-horrifying example).

      That’s probably because by two-legger standards, we kitties are furry, cute little psychopaths, nyao. Of course, by our standards, you two-leggers are really lousy hunters…

        Hah. We two-leggers have driven more species to extinction than you kitties. How’s that for lousy hunters. 😛

    Sometimes I speculate about how different this film would have been if, instead of a great big obvious dog making a brute-force assault on things, Cujo had been a tiny, quick, vicious chihuaha that kept hiding from people and then jumping out to infect their ankles with small but painful bites at unexpected moments.

    And if they should happen to go to hide from the terror of the tiny teeth somewhere they can’t easily get out of (like crawling into a culvert or something) the little bastard could show up ahead of them to eat their faces while they frantically squirm trying to back out.

    Just sayin.’ If somebody ever wants to make a Cujo II, I hope they use a chihuaha. Those things are terrifying.
