Black History Month is a time when non-Black people should be educating themselves and putting in the work if they identify as allies. Education can come in the form of all sorts of media, including film, as experiences can be explored within them. Horror as a genre for instance has a complicated history with Blackness and the depiction of Black characters. And if you’re a non-Black horror fan then there’s no time like the present to address that. Not to mention explore different horror movies that focus on Black characters. No, I’m not just talking about the masterpiece that is Get Out (2017) or even Jordan Peele as a Black horror creative.

Therefore I’m going to list some horror films to watch this Black History Month (or any other month quite frankly). The films listed range in intensity and icon status within the horror world. If you happen to be a Black reader of this article, then Happy Black History Month, my fellow horror Blerd.
