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.
Very good movie, and I really liked how thoughtful and intelligent the authorities were in trying to combat an invisible man. I read the original story a year or so ago, and the movie was a pretty faithful adaptation
The best thing about Rains’s performance is the sheer glee he brings to it, cackling to himself as he runs down the road.
(Also note that Gloria Stuart is the same actress whose career suddenly revived 64 years later when she played old Rose so wonderfully in Titanic. Another performance depending largely on voice.)
