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.
Having not watched this until long after I became a Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman fan, my main reaction was suddenly getting so many references that I’d never realized before 😀
The 2006 remake is almost shot-for-shot to the ooriginal, only with slightly improved special effects and absolutely no chemistry between the main characters. In case anyone was thinking of seeing that one.
The Omen was okay & might have had the best cast of any horror film. Should have given Lee Remick more to do though.
