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.
In my personal opinion, no creepy dentist will ever top Steve Martin as Orin Scrivello, DDS, in the musical version of Little Shop of Horrors–especially the interplay between him and Bill Murray as a masochistic dental patient. Pure comedy gold, and I’ve never been able to look at my dentist the same way after that…

You beat me to “Steve Martin was the scariest dentist”. 🙂
Damn, I was hoping for something by Junji Ito.
Is it safe?
I seriously considered that movie but decided it wasn’t quite horror.
‘Is it safe’ is from Marathon Man. Just noting that here so I dònt have to look it up every year I visit this page 🙂
