This week, on the last In Between Episode, we summarize the most notable films in the history of Black Horror. We discuss the how depictions of Black individuals in horror films has reflected discriminatory views, has attempted to change views, and has set standards for filmmakers throughout time. The films discussed, starting with Birth of a Nation in 1915 and ending with Us in 2019, evidence how long and arduous the battle has been for Black individuals to be represented accurately in horror as well as to be given the platform to contribute creatively to horror culture. Finally, this episode serves as a reminder to be seek your own implicit biases and be alert for biases in our own communities (particularly in metal and horror-focused ones) that need to be challenged, even where it might not seem relevant. Appropriate representations of BIPOC matter. Films Noted and Discussed: Birth of a Nation (1915) Chloe, Love is Calling You (1934) Son of Ingagi (1940) King of the Zombies (1941) Monster from Green Hell (1957) Night of the Living Dead (1968) Blacula (1972) Ganja and Hess (1973) Abby (1974) The Shining (1980) Candyman (1992) Tales from the Hood (1995) Demon Knight (1995) Eve's Bayou (1997) Jeepers Creepers (2001) Bones (2001) Queen of the Damned (2002) Alien vs. Predator (2004) Annabelle (2014) Get Out (2018) Us (2019) Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2020) Sources: Tananarive Due Interview with Buzzfeed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjrFJaHzIws Danielle A.

Recently I participated in a peaceful protest for the Black Lives Matter movement here in Indianapolis, and it truly changed my life! So much could be said about the utter disgust I, and so many others, feel for the unnecessary killings of our friends in the black community. The bullshit needs to stop; the time for change is now. My perspective was forever altered for the better, and I hope that as I continue to grow so can my friends listening. Rest in power to our fallen friends.
