Best Black Horror Movies of 2025
My choices for the best horror movies of 2025 featuring Black performers are a bit more top-heavy than last year's, but there’s still a remarkable number of films worth recommending. If, like me, you're of a certain age, you have to marvel at the fact that there are actually 30 Black horror movies in one year worth recommending, whereas...
40 Horror Movies About Black-White Race Relations
Horror movies tend to be thought of as hollow entertainment, but horror has a long history of addressing heavy social issues, whether directly or through symbolic or allegorical means. Perhaps the heaviest of heavy social issues is race relations -- especially in the United States -- but these horror/suspense movies dared to wade into those troubled waters by revolving...
The Black Die Young: The Internal Struggle of a Black Horror Movie Fan
Originally published on PopMatters.com
I have a secret passion; the less addicted of you might call it an addiction. I like to watch. I rent base, filthy movies and slip them into brown paper bags so no one can tell. I sit alone in seedy, near-empty theaters, pleasuring myself with this trash. I'm too embarrassed to tell anyone about my...

"Ooh, I'm done! Brothers never make it out of situations like this!"
- Sherman "Preacher" Dudley (LL Cool J), Deep Blue Sea
"Did you know that the black guy doesn't always die first?"
- sinister email, The Mangler 2
"Everybody knows black guys get it...
Africa: Evil or Just Misunderstood?
Representations of Africa in Horror Movies
When Toto sang about Africa back in the day, it sounded so much more inviting than what we see coming out of Hollywood. Horror movies in particular have been guilty of perpetuating the image of “darkest Africa”, filled with ravenous animals and wild-eyed natives who wouldn’t even shake your hand before biting it off....
Rappers “Slash” Actors Appearing in Horror Movies
Rappers are busy people, what with all the ho juggling, money stacking, and ride pimping. That's why so few of them have time to fully devote to the craft of acting. And yet so many of them are doing it, mucking up our precious horror films with their half-assed performances. Now, the time has come to set them straight...
