This is a really good movie if you haven’t seen it, I recommend
Less than an hour until we start HATCHING (2022) for #FolkHorrorFriday. We start streaming on Tubi at 9pm ET. Make sure you are watching the Finnish film (there's another movie with the same name)

Black folk horror for Black History Month with BLACULA (1972) and SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM (1973). The vampire has long been a symbol for rich feeding on poor, but Blacula neatly tweaks the formula to tackle white exploitation of Black bodies. William Marshall brings a commanding screen presence.

More Black American folk horror for Black history month. Candyman (1992) made Tony Todd an icon, and with Candyman (2021), Nia DaCosta made history as the first Black woman director to debut a film at number one at the US box office.

Thank you all so much! What a movie, eh?
After you've sat with this for a few minutes and are ready to be cheered up again, maybe I present this song from Rachel Bloom?

I know it already came up, but let me encourage everyone who hasn't seen it yet to watch THE UGLY STEPSISTER. Beautiful and sinister and brutal and very satisfying to the final frame.
The European women directors retelling the fairy tales are killing it.

It's Black History month, and while folk horror from a Black American perspective can be a bit sparse, there are several works (films and books) that I'd like to highlight over the next few weeks.
First up, a classic: Bill Gunn's 1973 take on vampire lore, GANJA & HESS.

I am very excited to revisit THE LURE (2015) with you all tomorrow night, a wonderful and gnarly Polish musical about mermaids.

Oh my god all of these are so good. THE HATCHING is seriously a no-miss, like you absolutely must watch this movie. GRETEL AND HANSEL may be my least favorite Perkins movie and it’s still better than every other American horror movie ever made—and visually sumptuous. SUMPTUOUSSSSSS.

Highly recommend HORROR NOIRE: A HISTORY OF BLACK HORROR on Shudder. Great documentary that will make you despair for how much incredible talent we've missed out on due to racist gatekeeping and biased storytelling in the film industry.
