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.
The Terminator does arguably qualify as both. As with the Alien series, the sequel was clearly an Action movie, but the original in both cases is actually fairly solidly Horror.
It would be very nice if an age-appropriate and sensible (not in any way a MPDG) lady were to come up to me and say “come with me if you want to love”. Living is meh, the other thing sounds interesting.
It would sort of be another kind of movie, but still fairly topical as the horror element would be me (and loneliness).
Huh, I never pegged this as a horror movie, just a sci-fi one. I guess when I think horror, I usually think monsters or psycho killers.

Same thing with Pitch Black – the first in the Chronicles of Riddick series.
