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.
A great movie, and I agree that the movie is better than the book (I think Gaiman even agrees with that opinion). It’s so rare that you find a well-written female protagonist like Coraline. Available on Netflix as of today (it’s been on Netflix for quite a while, and I even found a copy at our local library).
A fun fact I learned recently: “Careful What You Pack” from the TMBG album The Else was also written for the film. And once you know that you think “Yes. Yes obviously.”
One of the few where the movie was better than the book
