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.
“Monster rape.” Does that mean the monster gets raped, or does the monster do the raping? I think that the latter option has been overdone, a bit. The former option, though, now that could be intriguing…
Oh wow, you’re probably thinking of Uncle’s Ghastly’s Ghastly Comic. He stopped doing it but it’s still around. Here’s the link: http://ghastly.keenspace.com/d/20010510.html
(CW: monster rape, and lots of other XXX rated shenanigans)

{giggle} Why am I now imagining a hentai anime where a bunch of schoolgirls all run around and gang up on helpless monsters and molest them?
The scariest part of that idea is that it would probably work ridiculously well, too…
There was a web comic some years ago, where that was the premise… I’ll see if I can find it, but pretty sure it got yanked a long time ago.

This film achieves a previously unknown level of balance between scary, viscerally horrifying, and funny.
