What Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror is
Decatur Street, late Sixties. A flickering drive-in screen frames a black face in silhouette. The camera rolls through a century of Hollywood, tracking how horror shorthand—mammy curses, jive-talking sidekicks, and finally unflinching lead roles—changed around the bodies of black actors. A horror doc that finally lets the shadows speak back.
