VundaHalloweenathon Day 26: Black Horror
In defining today's theme we turn to a description outlined on the website for Horror Noire Executive Producer Tananarive Due and author/screenwriter Steven Barnes's six-part online course , "The Sunken Place: Black Horror" (based on Due's UCLA class "The Sunken Place: Racism, Survival, and the Black Horror Aesthetic"): “We define 'Black Horror' as Horror by Black creators and/or featuring a Black protagonist(s) in service to a story through a Black lens. Black creators may (though not always) tackle themes of social justice, ritual and magic, ancestors, and Black survival in their work. But all Black Horror combats the erasure of Black voices in Horror.” RECOMMENDATIONS Nanny His House Tales From the Hood Saloum Perpetrator Get Out Candyman Sinners The Blackening Spell Bones The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight Remember to support your local library this Halloween!
