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.
Ah! But when you mention ‘The Raven’ – my first thought is of the Karloff, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre comedic version about the 2 fighting sorcerers by Roger Corman. It has a wizard battle that I still enjoy.
melchar, don’t forget that also starts a babyfaced Jack Nicholson in one of his first rules. The one scene when he gets possessed while driving the cart could be the basis for all his future roles. (Okay Jack give me ‘crazy face’)
