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 learned about this movie through MST3k. I thought this was actually a decent movie for its budget and era. They were a little bit unfair to the film makers. “Send them the ANT MOVIE!”.
Speaking of Look Around You and horror movies, there’s a moment in one of the videos where they put a scene of an old movie when a scientist seems to find he no longer has a face. Do you have any idea of which movie it is? It was amazingly creepy.
Phase IV retains its ability to disturb even if its ending is weak. The systematic destruction of all that humanity can build by dedicated and self-sacrificing ants remains chilling to me.

“I hope no one is eating rice at this moment.”
This and “The Stuff*” are two of my favorite low-budget “Sci-Fi flicks that are too smart for their intended audience.”
*An edible monster from Outer Space tries to take over the world through campy advertising.
This movie confused the hell out of my 10-yr-old monster-movie-loving self. I saw it a few years ago, and found that it aged remarkably well.
This movie is like Them! on acid, which surprisingly turns out to be a good thing
Bless you for that url. Blants.
Thants.
