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.
This is a great film, and is my second-favorite foreign language film (after “Trollhunter”). If you can, track down the original short film this movie is based on (2003, “Rare Exports, Inc”) – it, too, is a lot of fun.

Yay, Finland mentioned! Dec 6 is also Independence Day in my country, making this a doubly appropriate pick for today. And yes, it is a great film.
Go Finland!
PS: Available on Amazon Prime (we liked it so much we purchased it thru iTunes, just like “Trollhunter”).
