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.
It’s also known as “Devil’s Night”–which reminds me, James O’Barr mentioned in an interview about the making of The Crow that on 30/Oct, people in Detroit would burn down abandoned buildings to keep them from being turned into crack houses, which was one of several inspirations for The Crow. Makes me want to roast marshmallows, nyao!
Hmm, it’s on BBS America tonight. Will have to see it. ^_^

Cannot edit prior comment – it was ‘BBC America’.
