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 was one of Davis’ last films, and it was a fine send off for him. The acting is what really turns a ridiculous premise into a great mystery/drama/horror film.

“What kind of bug was it? What do I look like? Some kind of ichthyologist?”
It’s also David Bowie’s birthday, so honorable mention should be given to The Hunger, in which he played a vampire.
I couldn’t decide which of the three amazingly hot stars of The Hunger to honor with a birthday nod.
Great film, but now what are you going to do for Bruce Cambell’s birthday?
Oh, right. Carry on, then.
Only seen it once, but this one line sticks in my head. “I’ll lube up my own crankshaft.”
The final scene has made this a Thanksgiving tradition for me.
