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.
Cushing & Lee were great -whenever- they were in films together. My favorite though was them in ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’. [If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it.]
I didn’t even realize that was today. If I’d known, I would have held off another day on watching Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
The Hammer version is probably my fave, tho. Not much can compete with Lee and Cushing starring in something together.
Christoper Lee as Dracula is hard to beat. Probably my favorite (even though Dracula 1972 was awful)
Hilariously awful, at least. I mean, who can’t get a laugh out of someone starting off a Black Mass with “Dig the funky music, children.” 😉
