Horror Vault's take

A century of Black Americans in Hollywood is examined through the revealing lens of the horror genre, tracing how the industry marginalized, caricatured, and ultimately began to celebrate Black voices on screen. Filmmakers, scholars, and genre luminaries sit down to unpack the complicated and often painful relationship between race and fear in American cinema. It is both a long-overdue corrective to the historical record and a passionate love letter to the Black artists who persisted regardless.
