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.

    … that is the ODDEST coincidence, I was just reminded of the radio episode of this story earlier in the evening.

    I think highly of the original story ( as well as H.R. Wakefield’s “He Cometh and He Passeth By”, which was clearly inspired by it; both were inspired by Alistair Crowley.) I haven’t seen the movie, but it sounds like a very loose adaptation.

    One of the more memorable monster movies from my childhood because they show the monster IN THE VERY FIRST SCENE! I watched every monster movie I could growing up (born in 1965), and this is the only one I remember doing that. It was also a pretty cool monster!

    This is probably my favorite classic horror film. I have a DVD with both the US and UK versions (I prefer the one that shows the super-cool monster).
