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.
Coppola had been working as either the sound man or assistant director on Corman’s The Young Racers, which came in ahead of schedule and under budget. So Corman let Coppola use the time and money that was left over to make whatever he felt like, even though his prior directorial experience was a couple of nudie films. He turned in a film with enough gore in it that he said would make people sick. Corman hated it and brought in another director to shoot some filler scenes and do enough dubbing to change the storyline. The making of may be more interesting than the film itself.
Apparently there was a remake last year. Anyone know what that was like?

Dementia 13 is possibly one of the worst movie titles of all time. Interesting low budget Psycho rip off though with a really weird lead performance.
