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.
The ending was actually worth sitting through the rest of the movie, to me. YMMV.
Also, I’m really glad that sort of super screechy background music isn’t popular for movie soundtracks anymore. There are still a bunch that I think could stand to tighten up their dynamic range a bit, but this was just painful.
I did finally see this one – it was pretty good overall, and the ending was definitely worth sitting through all of it. The background music didn’t bother me enough to stop watching, unlike IT FOLLOWS.
On an unrelated note, welcome back, site!
This is on youtube, so I think I will give it a try.
I’m only like 20 minutes in, but wow. Jamie really is the worst. I’d rather take parent/babysit Damien Thorn, honestly.
