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 neck/shoulder composition of the 2 opposed beings was well done in the movie. [I liked the book better.] But that long shot near the movie’s start – that goes from just broken hole/breach in the keep’s defenses – on out and away … and further and further off – until the light they have is akin to a star in the distance? FANTASTIC!
And PS – if [like me] – you were reminded of this flick and wanted to see if it was finally out on DVD? Turns out there are 2. The new one [released a month ago] is a bad transfer from VHS. The other is the ‘special convention edition’ that has also been re-released & I found a copy on ebay = https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=the+keep+dvd&ul_noapp=true

It has been a really long time since I’ve seen this, I think it is due for a rewatch
This also looks to be available streaming on Amazon Prime
