So recently I talked about @lupitanyongo & her second best appearance in horror Little Monsters, I think it’s about time I talk about her first 2019’s Us. @jordanpeele second mark on horror 🤸🏾‍♀️🎃follows Adelaide played by @lupitanyongo & her family on a trip to her childhood holiday spot Santa Cruz but once they arrive they find things are a bit off and things start to unravel more after finding themselves face to face with attackers that look exactly like them. Us is by far one of my favourite horrors & @jordanpeele is one of my favourite directors & one of the first in years to give me chills in their movie as well as featuring my favourite actress @lupitanyongo this match felt like....a nightmare come true in this case🎃🎃🤸🏾‍♀️🎃 as well as both their amazing directing & acting the rest of the cast hold upto with @winstoncduke as Gabe who screams dad vibes & second hand embarrassment, who just wants his family safe. @shahadi as Zara the eldest child & teenage daughter who just wants time to herself, @superevanalex as Jason a curious kid with a plethora of imagination. Watch Us this Halloween & see how the Wilson’s try to survive themselves. #us #lupitanyongo #blackidols #blackfemalerepresentation #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #blackoctober #blackhistorymonth #blackcreators #blackrepresentation #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blmuk #blm #blacktransalliance #lgbt #lgbtqia #stonewall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGr9TBYgsaF/?igshid=1vdyd5q5lozk8

So today I thought I’d go with 2001’s Bones a bit of a B-movie horror but don’t ever stop you watching it in fact it should be the reason you do! 🤸🏾‍♀️🎃🤸🏾‍♀️🎃 Most of the lead actors are really good in there roles and I recommend it if you want to laugh and be intrigued by a horror this October. #bones2001 #pamgrier #snoopdogg #horrormovies #horrornoire #horrornoirefilm #blackhistorymonth #blackoctober #blacklivesmatter #blm #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance #representationmatters #blackgirlmagic #lgbtq🌈 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIUtIog7TC/?igshid=c55tp4kpiiqa

I don’t think there was any doubt this would make the list 2017 @jordanpeele Get Out the film that inspired the new wave of black horror films & allowed more opportunities for black horror creators, actors & actress. While also shining a light on racism, police brutality, negrophilia, Having to hide ourselves & more. It follows Chris played by @danielkaluuya on a trip to see his girlfriend played by @aw family for the first time. At first Chris isn’t optimistic about the trip expecting Rose’s family to be concerned about him being black, Chris not surprised much by their reaction on meeting him, is however on their workers behaviour & things he starts to notice that seem just a little too off. Definitely a film to watch this Halloween if you haven’t seen and anyone that has will get why it spooked me the first time I seen it while sitting around an entire white audience 😂🥶🎃🤸🏾‍♀️💖 Thanks to everyone who stuck with me this month & I hope you have a spooky day I’ll leave below a few other horrors with positive black representation while I have not seen all of these I will leave a pumpkin on ones I have seen or can vouch for Tales From The Hood 🎃 Truth Seekers Series - Amazon Prime 🎃 Stranger Things - Series Netflix 🎃 The Thing 🎃 They Live🎃 The Craft Adventure Time Stakes (Marceline The Vampire Queen)🎃 Resident Evil 5 The Game 🎃 The Walking Dead🎃 The Walking Dead Telltales Video Game🎃 Bad Hair - Hulu Slice Scare Me - Shudder 🎃 Being Humans UK Series🎃 Crazyheads Uk Series 🎃 Hood Of Horrors 🎃 Tales From The Crypt - Demon Knight 🎃 #getout #thesunkenplace #iwouldhavevotedforobamaforathirdterm #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #representationmatters #blackcreators #blackhorrormonth #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBydIMAnEy/?igshid=117mckzk1qw57

Hope your enjoying this hallows eve for today I’m going with The first black directed, written & starting horror 1940’s Son Of Ingagi as a bonus I’m doing the first horror to represent black minorities properly & I’ll be adding the horror that started the new black horror wave🎃🎃💖. Son Of Ingagi starts with the wedding of Mr & Ms Lindsey & female scientist Dr. Jackson & her recent discovery of a missing link in Africa, where in Africa you ask? Oh you know just the whole continent, as usual😂. The film still has charm and humour to it for its time and watching it now with today’s standard, gives it even more humour to it. Plus an appreciation for those that came before us and the work they put in that has elevated us to where we are now. While the movie monster may make some people say does that look like?🤨, It is an all black project and is a classic in black horror cinema and has the first representations in horror where we aren’t a joke, a monster or played by a white person. It shows as for what we are people who deserve to be seen. #firstblackhorror #sonofingagi #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #blackcreators #representationmatters #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CHAnk1qgPah/?igshid=q9hv8u5hurcg

For the 30th I’m going with A new literally out yesterday 2020’s His House. It follows a couple played by @sopedirisu as Bol & @wunmimosaku as Rial. The two have been staying in a detention centre somewhere in the UK after escaping war torn South Sudan for a year now and are finally given asylum with a new home all to their selfs but they soon find there not the only ones living there and they’re ghosts may not have left them quite yet. It deals with loss, survivors guilt, nationalism, racism, what we’ll do to survive, our treatment of refugees and guilt/punishment for our actions. Definitely a frightening horror to check out this spooky season with great performances all around. #hishouse #netflix #horrornoirefilm #blackhistorymonth #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #blackoctober #blackhorrormonth #blackgirlmagic #representationmatters #blackcreators #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_TVywAuiY/?igshid=i7qdi37y2zbh

29th October since I gave you more of a drama horror for yesterday I thought I’d throw in another Black Mirror Season 2 - White Bear A women wakes up with no memory and needs to find her missing daughter in this strange world Season 3 - San Junipero One of the light hearted episodes of black mirror it still has horror elements in it but does have more of a love story feel Season 3 - Men Against Fire A new recruit has his first day of hunting roaches monsters once human now a danger to humanity Season 4 - USS Callister Have you ever wanted your own perfect little world where you control everything well what if you did would you still be kind or would you be a cruel monster like god. Season 4 - Black Museum One of the best episodes of Black Mirror with references to other episodes follows a young women as she makes a stop at a museum filled with technology that have distributing stories to them. Season 4 Kill The DJ Another love story and still very light hearted Season 5 Striking Vipers Two old college friends decide to reconnect in a much more advanced form of VR bringing out unexpected feelings. #blackmirror #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #representationmatters #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CG94BlIAMZK/?igshid=9lc9awiy6ygj

I apologise for not getting this up yesterday I’ve been dealing with a lot recently and been a bit overwhelmed but here is 29th of October’s choice Eve’s Bayou while more of a Drama film, it has elements of voodoo and it’s consider a drama horror in many circles plus the horror seems to lie more in real trauma we face in abuse, manipulation by our family members, rape and how our brain protects us by making us forget events to help deal with our trauma. It follows the story of a little girl named Eve played by @jurneesmollett now known for playing Black Canary in Birds of Play & Leti in Lovecraft Country and many more great performances. We follow Eve on a very special summer that she would never forget as the summer she killed her father. Spoiler - Trigger Warning This film deals with abuse and how the family that should help us through it manipulates us into staying as well as talking about child grooming and rape. While not directly showing anything and keeping it a secret for most of the plot it does show a lot of different ways how family can control and take advantage of us I hope this is helpful if this might trigger you. #evesbayou #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #representationmatters #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CG93OtnAFbH/?igshid=vh94zcnn8yb4

2002 28 days later, this was one of my first horrors growing up and one that showed me it was more than psychos in masks and the idiot teens that always die from them. It elevated horror for me it showed it could be scary and smart, to a younger me that really affected how I saw horror and what it was capable of and part of that was @naomieharris as Selena. In 28 days later Selena is a badass survivor who’s adjusted to this new world and it’s cruel uncaring nature, someone who had a family was kind and caring and worked as a chemist. Naw a cold demeanour who holds her emotions back to survive the tough choices she has to make but Selena is also shown in her more sensitive moments that she can still be herself, especially when she warms up to Hannah and Jim she feels she can be herself again and express her emotions more not having to worry about what horrors lie ahead. Also in the continuing comic Selena is the main character throughout and her character feels like what inspired future zombie horror characters like Michonne. #28dayslater #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #representationmatters #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CG58orNg_uB/?igshid=199ghezdfdwnr

So as a bonus I’m giving some short horrors to check out Hulu’s Huluween 2018 Huluween Film fest 2020’s Huluween Bite Size Both on YouTube & Hulu Lippy To teens decide it’d be funny to steal lipstick only to find the jokes on them. Reborn A reluctant girl going for her baptism may find her cleansing takes more than she expected. Visible Sometimes we just want to be seen Special Delivery So your delivering a strange package & now whatever you do DO NOT OPEN! Thirst A post apocalyptic future following a father & his daughter it touches on pollution while mixing with a quiet place theme. Retreat Focuses on stillness, quieting the mind & being one with yourself in the best way possible by focusing on a typical insta jog girl who maybe should have looked up her retreat a bit more I hope uses enjoy these bite size bonuses #hulu #huluween #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #femalerepresentation #blackwomen #blackoctober #blackhistorymonth #blackcreators #blackrepresentation #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blmuk #blm #blacktransalliance #lgbt #lgbtqia #stonewall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzr29tAoba/?igshid=ipcykzge6yu0

So for something to quench your thirst we’re going with a sometimes forgotten classic 1973’s Ganja & Hess directed by Bill Gunn an artistic horror of addiction, loss of humanity, salvation, greed & love. It follows Dr.Hess a anthropologist who after being attacked and left for dead is now left with a thirst that can never be quenched played by Duane Jones known for playing Ben in Night of The Living Dead & Marlene Clark as Ganja a women who wants everything life has to offer, who won’t let go of it for anyone. The film is an artistic horror piece & at the start I felt I couldn’t tell what its rhythm was but once it settled in I could see what it was going for it’s an interesting take on a usual monster of horror & the comparison to real life vices and the choices we make in our addictions and against them as well as what we’ll do for greed. It has great performances both by Duane Jones & Marlena Clark & one I recommend watching for it’s interesting unique take #ganjaandhess #duanejones #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #blackartistic #blackartisticdirectors #blackoctober #blackhistorymonth #blackcreators #blackfemalerepresentation #blackrepresentation #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blmuk #blm #blacktransalliance #lgbt #lgbtqia #stonewall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzlsrsASkZ/?igshid=bdratcxawboh

Today’s pick is 2019’s Spiral on shudder I saw this one recently & all I can say is the trailer doesn’t do it justice, Malik & his partner Aaron and their daughter are moving into a new town, as they settle in Malik starts to feel uncomfortable with his neighbours suspecting theirs something going on. He digs deeper & things unravel as well as himself. The film explores feeling like an outsider, public assumptions, biases & judgements of groups we see as different to ourselves & how we value their life’s compared to us. It’s also a queer focused horror film & one of the few that there is, also one of even fewer to have a black gay character as the main. Definitely one I’m going to rewatch this Halloween 🎃💖🤸🏾‍♀️🎃💖 #queerhorror #shudder #spiralshudder #halloween #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #blackoctober #blackhistorymonth #blackcreators #blackrepresentation #queerrepresentation #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blmuk #blm #blacktransalliance #lgbt #lgbtqia #stonewall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxMaJRgeO6/?igshid=pc5o1dounifj

Today’s pick is 1991 Wes Cravens The People Under The Stairs, Fool Played by Brendon Adams a young kid living in the ghetto has dreams of becoming a doctor but with his mother sick and his family about to be evicted from rising prices from they’re landlord but Leroy a friend of his sister’s played by Ving Rhames has a plan to rob the supposed gold his landlord has from under his nose but they might find themselves damned to hell!! #thepeopleunderthestairs #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #blackoctober #blackhistorymonth #blackcreators #blackrepresentation #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blmuk #blm #blacktransalliance #lgbt #lgbtqia #stonewall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvbZTYg0u0/?igshid=ff2b1a6oxfqd

2020’s Lovecraft Country a new hbo series based on the book of the same name follows the story of Atticus Tic played by @jonathanmajors_fans_ as heads into the deep South of the 1940s in search of his mother’s families past and his missing father with the help of his uncle George played by @courtneybvance and Leti an old friend played by @jurneesmollett but as they travel into the dangers of the deep south they’ll also find unexplainable monsters and things they’ll believed only to life in the darkest of paperbacks. It features a large cast of talented black actors and shines a light on the history and racism of a maker as well as looking and creators and idols from the past and their true nature, while also featuring a horrific horror theme to match the horrors of police brutality, lynchings, white on black violence and more. Definitely a horror series in many ways and one to watch this season. #lovecraftcountry #policebrutality #racialviolence #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackhorrormovies #blackoctober #blackhistorymonth #blackcreators #blackrepresentation #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blmuk #blm #blacktransalliance #lgbt #lgbtqia #stonewall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGqd0pUg0PN/?igshid=1huy72oryev7y

So who’s up for some nursery games of Simon says run!!🧟today I’m going with one of my favourite comedy horrors with my absolute favourite actress 2019’s Little Monsters starring Lupita Nyong’o as Miss Caroline a kindergarten teacher who with the help of a washed up musician played by Alexander England and Teddy a children’s presenter played by Josh Gad, must protect a class of nursery children from a zombie horde, while also protecting them from the reality of it. It’s a fun laugh out loud horror comedy that will have your heart by the end 💖. While Lupita Nyong’o is not the main character in this she easily takes centre stage anytime she’s on screen💖🤍🖤🤸🏾‍♀️🎃 #littlemonsters #lupitanyongo #blackwomengetitdone #blackidols #blackgirlmagic #blackwomenpower #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #representationmatters #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance #zombies #comedyhorror #representationmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CGZjOMoAGMv/?igshid=tf54ns34n2kv

So tonight I’m going with more of a fun option than scare Netflix’s The Last Kids On Earth on Netflix, it’s a fun zombie series about a bunch of kids survive the end of the world fighting monsters while living in a tree house. It’s got a great voice acting cast and fun characters one such being Quint Baker (voices by Garland Whitt) the tech guy of the group and science nerd Quint is a great character and shows a side of representation we don’t always see nerdy, sensitive and smart with the toxic image created around black masculinity and not always being represented as the brainy character it’s good when we get to see these stereotypes pushed against. So for today I’m giving a shout out to my Blerds be proud of who you are I know I am😊🎃💖🤍🖤 #blerd #hotblerdgirl #thelastkidsonearthseries #horrornoirefilm #blackhorror #blackoctober #representationmatters #blackhistorymonth #blm #blmuk #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatteruk #blacktranslivesmatter #blacktransalliance https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYWTCcANGU/?igshid=1sn904bn0a49l
