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 saw this one as Horror Hotel. Didn’t even recognize Christopher Lee. I did, however, recognize this as the source of the “fear, superstition, and jealousy” sample at the start of Dragula by Rob Zombie. Part of my fondness for watching old horror flicks is the post-dated little Easter eggs from recognizing bits that have been sampled (usually, but not exclusively, by Zombie).

Another movie given the Rifftrax treatment, I honestly believe the guys improved on the original.
PS: Christopher Lee is NOT the hero, unless you are on the witches’ side.
