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.
This is one of my favorites! It’s smart enough to be interesting (I thought that it raised some pretty good questions about Reagan-era “corporate ethics*”), but silly enough to be entertaining.
Never saw this one, but I’ve added it to my list on SHUDDER, so I should get around to it sometime soon. Here’s hoping!
In 1992, the scene where the night watchman tastes the “Stuff” was was the winner of the very first Smithee award for “Acting Appropriately Stupid”

A contradiction in terms to be sure…
SQUEE!!! You took my suggestion!!! Thank you! Thank you!
