Today, seeking refuge in Black Horror and Afro-Futurism. Then, the directors of “Freaky Tales.” And, authors who are looking into the near future with their fiction.

For some, present day headlines are reminders of past terrors, causing them to seek refuge in the genres of Black Horror and Afro-Futurism. A local bookstore owner is helping people use these artforms to connect and envision brighter futures.

Hey Horror Fans!!!This week on Mostly Horror, we're joined by writer, producer, and horror legend Jeffrey Reddick—the creator of Final Destination. We dive deep into Jeffrey's wild journey from writing a Nightmare on Elm Street prequel at age 14 to creating one of horror's most iconic franchises.Jeffrey opens up about the state of representation in the industry, sharing personal stories about navigating Hollywood as a queer Black creator. We talk about the pressure to conform, the myth that diversity is a risk, and how films like Sinners are proving just how wrong that is.We also touch on the origins of Flight 180, the everyday objects that now give people anxiety, the brilliance of Tony Todd, and how Final Destination continues to evolve even without him directly involved.

This week, we're diving into the real revolution happening in Black horror, from its roots in resistance folklore to today's groundbreaking films. Joined by Hugo Award-winning and NYTimes best-selling writer and graphic novelist John Jennings, we'll explore how scary stories expose systemic fears, why horror can be unexpectedly therapeutic, and how classic films like Night of the Living Dead, Get Out, and Beloved flip the script on the real monsters. Whether you love horror or avoid it completely, this conversation will change how you see the genre—and maybe even help you reframe your own fears.

They say urban legends aren't real and are only cautionary tales to keep unruly children at bay, but there are elements underlying these stories that are far more terrifying than any monster or ghoul. The biggest horror? We, as Black people, have learned to fear ourselves. In 2022, Jay sat down with Dr. Kinitra Brooks to guide this conversation. Beyond being a horror scholar, she is a horror fan. She's authored two books: Searching for Sycorax: Black Women's Hauntings of Contemporary Horror and Sycorax's Daughters, and is working on her next work about Conjure Women. She is also the Audrey and John Leslie Endowed Chair in Literary Studies in the Department of English at Michigan State University. __________________________ Black History Year (BHY) is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

Tananarive and Steve were devastated by the death of Candyman star Tony Todd in November of 2024. (He also co-starred in their "Fugue State" story in the Shudder/AMC+ anthology film Horror Noire.) His death inspired them to unearth an interview they did with Todd as a part of their online digital download course The Sunken Place, a history of Black Horror. In this rare interview, Todd talks about his tough childhood, the aunt who raised him, his theater roots...and becoming Candyman.

It's inner city vs. outer space when London street urchins battle monsters from another world. Starring John Boyega (in his first feature!), impressive creature effects, and borderline unintelligible slang, this film gives new meaning to the British Invasion. Best of all, Frank Olson returns (see Troll 2, Rodan, and more) to lend his thoughts; plus, Peter Lorre reviews Lon Chaney in The Unholy Three (1925).

@BEOYouth | Let's get at it! Are Black horror movies good? Why do Black people in white horror movies die first? Let's discuss TUBI! How did we get on Jake from State Farm?????

Send us a textA chance to revisit one of my favourite books and favourite ever conversations this week. Zakiya Dalila Harris's The Other Black Girl came out in early 2021, and for once I was ahead of the curve! Right from the start, I adored this novel of workplace micro-aggression and satirical horror in the publishing industry – and I'm glad to see the world has since agreed. It's a high-concept thriller that blends the paranoia of Rosemary's Baby with the bite of Get Out – and for once it's a story that deserves those comparisons. Zakiya talks about her own background in publishing and how it informed this nightmare. We talk about discussing racism in fiction, and (in a slightly meta way) we discuss how interviews LIKE THIS ONE may actually perpetuate a degree of othering. In short, I tie myself in white millennial knots, but Zakiya is wonderfully generous. God I love this book. Some may say it's not horror. I'd disagree so much that I stuck it on my list of best horror novels ever. Let's see what you think.  Enjoy! Other books mentioned: All Her Little Secrets (2021), by Wanda M.

It's a little late, but here we are! Amongst all of the spooky and scary content one can enjoy during the Halloween season, we've decided to take a spin discussing one of the aspects of the Horror genre, Black Horror! 

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, I had the pleasure of speaking with horror scholar and freelance writer, Lea Anderson. Lea's work, especially at the intersection of Black feminism and monster theory, brings a fascinating and unique perspective to the genre. We dive into her FANGORIA column Eaten Alive, where she explores the devouring Other in horror, film, myth, and literature. Lea also shared her academic background and how Black feminist thought shapes her approach to analyzing horror films. We talked about the role of monsters in storytelling, touching on everything from Gremlins and Blade to the deeper human experiences that horror can reveal. This conversation was truly thought-provoking and offered an intriguing look into how horror helps us explore societal fears and tensions. If you're into the art of fear and cultural critique, this episode is one you won't want to miss!  This program is supported in part by a grant from the Robert W.

In this podcast episode, we discuss what is Black Horror and why it is important. The episode explores the intersection of Black bodies and the horror film genre, blaxploitation, and Black experience as horror using American films dating from 1915-2023. We also examine how Black narratives present reflections of power and identity through film relative to the time and space that created them.

In the spine-tingling finale of the Spooky Series on The Professional Homegirl Podcast, Eboné sits down with a Black horror film historian whose lifelong love for the genre was inspired by her mother's passion for horror movies. Together, Eboné and her guest delve into the evolution of Black horror films, exploring how Black characters have shaped and been shaped by horror narratives and why these stories serve as powerful reflections of race, fear, and identity. From cherished memories of watching classic horror films to a career devoted to understanding the genre's cultural impact, Eboné's guest illustrates that Black horror is more than just a thrill...it's a profound lens on social truths and storytelling.

Donald Trump is being called a fascist – by his former appointees, as well as by his opponent Kamala Harris. On this week's On the Media, a historian of fascism explains why he sounded the alarm back in 2018. Plus, the science behind why horror films make your skin crawl.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Jason Stanley, a professor of Philosophy at Yale University and who has written several books on fascism. He first warned about Trump's fascist rhetoric in 2018, and explains why it's more important than ever to call it by its name. [20:05] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with science writer Nina Nesseth to explore how horror filmmakers make our skin crawl, the anatomy of a jump scare, and why all screams aren't created equal. Her book Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films delves into question – why do we crave being scared senseless in the movie theater? [32:50] OTM producer Rebecca Clark-Callender dives into the history of Black horror to see what it is and who it's for, ft: Robin R. Means Coleman, professor of Media Studies and of African American and African Studies at the University of Virginia and co-author of The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar; Tananarive Due, author, screenwriter, and lecturer on Afrofuturism and Black Horror at University of California, Los Angeles; Rusty Cundieff, writer and director of Tales from the Hood (1995); and Betty Gabriel, actor widely known for her acclaimed performance as "Georgina" in Jordan Peele's blockbuster Get Out (2017). Further reading:Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future, by Jason StanleyHow Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, by Jason StanleyNightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films by Nina NessethHorror Noire: A History of Black American Horror from the 1890s to Present by Robin R.

Since Jordan Peele's next movie is not scheduled to release until 2026, there is not much to talk about. It does lead into a conversation about new ideas in Hollywood, however. We also talk about the awesome marketing behind Longlegs.Sometimes, there is too much importance placed on being wholly original. We get so caught up in seeing something completely different that we forget that bringing a new perspective to an old idea can be just as exciting. The Weekend is a great example. It is your basic in-law horror. But the focus on characters and pacing as opposed to jump scares gives it a different feel.Which isn't to say that it is all good. There are some very noticeable flaws in it. This is true of any horror movie, especially one with a premise as ridiculous as The Weekend. But there are some things that even the most die hard genre fans will be unable to accept. Thankfully, there is one amazingly trashy character that brings a lot of fun to the very somber story. But is it enough?This year has been a little different for us. We have spent more time focusing on older films than in any previous year. During our look back at the first part of 2024, we ignored those movies. There is still a lot to work with and talk about, however. From movies comprised entirely of a language invented for it to a film aimed to take down the horror community, we discuss the movies that impressed us and made us angry. And how could we not talk about the strangest movie we have ever reviewed for our humble little podcast? Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
