Wow, that sounds really good...I am going to watch it tonight.

Stephen Crane

Is this a black thing?

I’m a bit surprised that I know of and have watched a horror movie made before 1959 that Robin never has, but we’re all here to learn and share I suppose. I definitely recommend Son of Ingagi, especially since I remember it not trying to be “black horror”, it just was horror that happened to star black people. And nobody asked but my favorite blaxsploitation movie is Black Belt Jones, which is simultaneously very review worthy and genuinely entertaining.

I so wish there was a decent copy of Abby out there. It's not a classic, but it's so much better than it should be as a blatant Exorcist rip-off. Warner Bros. really had no legitimate legal standing for having the film buried and now, especially, there's no reason why it should only be watchable through smeary digital encodes of a crappy videotape transfer.

Icons of Black horror to me (among many others) William Marshall and Tony Todd. Todd really did such remarkable things with Candyman--remember how when Silence of the Lambs came out and so many critics and writers went on about how little Anthony Hopkins was actually in the film compared to the rest of the actors? The same thing goes for Todd--I forget the exact minute count but it's a good half hour, forty minutes before he appears, and the second you see him, you are his. His charisma is overwhelming.

Who are the great names in black horror? Gotta be Tony Todd and Keith David. As the Goddess notes above, Tony's first appearance on screen in Candyman is so gripping. And Keith stays in my mind due to his role in John Carpenters 'The Thing'. Then I'd add Ernie Hudson. He's always the straight guy from the street cop in 'The Crow' (arguably a modern horror flic) or the Tales from the Crypt episode, I think it was Zamboni? These three have my vote.
