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.
Now I am wondering if there is a difference, mental-illness-wise, between a lunar eclipse birth and a solar eclipse birth. Lunar eclipses are more common (the Earth has a much bigger shadow than the Moon), but solar eclipses could be considered much more concentrated (a 100-mile-wide Moon shadow vs Earth’s, which is thousands of miles wide). Are children born during partial eclipses only slightly crazy? And what about transits of Mercury and Venus? Hmm, perhaps I am over-thinking this…
“The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” –Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
I don’t know if there’s any effect on mental health by eclipses, but we all know about lunacy (literally, “Moon-madness”)–as Doctor Mordred points out, “whenever things get really weird, someone always points out, ‘must be a full moon tonight!'” ^_^

I have never heard of this–MTV’s Julie Brown (not that one) is in it!
