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.
June 21 is also the Summer Solstice, unless you live south of the equator, in which case it’s the Winter Solstice. Surely there are some appropriate summer movies that are scary too?
This one is on Amazon Prime, where I re-watched it recently. Still scary, and I forgot the level of visceral disgust I had towards the male lead. In the end, I felt more sorry for the ghost (who apparently was attached to him) than for him.
