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.

    I keep meaning to see this, because the book is excellent, with a number of great twists.

    Sounds like Lieber’s “Conjure Wife”

    Available on Amazon Prime; usually not my cup of tea, but I’ll add it to my watch list just in case.

      I was going to have to get Amazon Prime anyway for Good Omens, so I’ll probably catch this then.

        One of the best witch-y movies from this era, I liked how the main couple really cared about each other (although I was surprised how the wife could love such a schmuck).

    Having to wonder what a modern adaptation of the novel (I’ve read it, but I’m not sure if I’ve seen the movie) would be like now in a time when a wife whose primary duty is supporting her husband is perhaps not as much of a thing.

    The book is pretty good, though you have to make allowances for its age. This probably the best of the three attempts at turning it into a film, though Weird Woman (1944) with Lon Chaney, Jr. isn’t terrible.

    It’s also Alan Moore’s birthday today!

    I mostly like version, but the book has one truly shocking moment that the movie fails to do justice to.
