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.
I first saw this on the Syfy channel & they were billing it as a “syfy original.” (They I guess had acquired the US rights to it). The effects were about what you’d expect for a Syfy channel movie, but it was so much better than their usual stuff that eventually I realized that couldn’t really be right.

I’d forgotten all about this. Really wanted to see it, too. Thanks for the reminder!
Best. Werewolf. Movie. Period.
Not that there’s a huge amount of competition for that title. Vampires get all the good movies; good werewolf movies you can count on one hand.
Vampires are great movie monsters because they look cool even on a limited budget. It’s hard to make a good-looking werewolf.
True! Still, I wish there were enough to at least require I use my other hand for counting!
