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.
Based on a novel by, of all people, the late Brian Aldiss. I haven’t read it, but I did pick up the sequel, Dracula Unbound, at the library some years ago. Much the same, only with free-lovin’ Mary Shelley replaced by prostitute-visitin’ Bram Stoker, and the revelation that vampires evolved from pteranodons.
…I’ve never seen this and I already want to give it all the Oscars…
