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 thing scared the hell out of my 10-yr-old self. Got it on DVD for my birthday a few years ago – I did not even remember the first 2, but I certainly remembered that devil doll. The special effects were a lot cheaper than I remember, but that’s okay – still scary after all these years!
Gotta love that last scene.
The last part does blow the other two out of the water.

Or, as it was known around our house, the devil doll was called the ‘Yaga-Yaga Doll’.
Well, at least it wasn’t a BABA Yaga doll! {shiver}
