Brackula: The Musical movie

Barackula: The Musical (2008)

When I heard the title of this horror/comedy/musical short, I was first intrigued, then apprehensive, then a bit hungry (I had a bagel; problem solved), and finally intrigued again....

Bad Boys (and Girls): Black Horror’s Most Wanted Villains

Black people originated the slang of bad meaning good, but that doesn't mean they can't also be bad meaning bad. They've played some of the more memorable baddies in...
Back from Hell horror movie poster

Back From Hell (AKA Demon Apocalypse) (1993)

This minimum opus was filmed in 1993, although its blurry look is more like an early '80s snuff film. It has a Z-grade budget with Z-grade acting, Z-grade writing...

April Fools (2007)

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

Just as Anacondas multiplies the number of killer snakes from the original film for your viewing pleasure, so does it multiply the number of black characters. Are the filmmakers...
