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 was something of a connoisseur of disaster films from the 70’s (ah, youth!), but I did not recognize this one. Then I saw “Italian-British” and realized why.
I am not a fan of zombie movies, but I heard good buzz about this one, so I gave it a try (it’s on Netflix, btw). Despite my dislike of the genre, I must agree that this is indeed the Platonic Ideal of a zombie movie, so even if you do not like zombie movies, give this one a try.
For some reason the description puts me in mind of an old (1976) Disaster movie called The Cassandra Crossing.
