I have a longstanding relationship with horror, thanks to my mother, who nurtured my passion for the macabre. We dressed up and went trick-or-treating every year.

Supernatural horror is my bag! I was super excited to lay my eyes on Rosario at the Overlook Film Festival during one of the late-night slots. The film follows a successful woman, Rosario (Emeraude Toubia), who has to spend the night watching her grandmother’s corpse until the ambulance comes. Of course, things get supernatural as

After crossing the Atlantic ocean with his wife and two sons, Abraham Van Helsing has finally settled down… or has he? Let me point this out; has anyone ever considered fact-checking Van Helsing? Did anyone ask him for true vampiric evidence? Maybe not. Natasha Kermani (Lucky, V/H/S/85) helms the feature film adaptation of Abraham’s Boys;

My journey chronicling Black Queer Horror Characters has been met with some highs and many lows. This is expected given the history of being Black and Queer in America. Although, Black Queer folx are not new to horror, as you know. We have been playing in the horror sandbox since the 70s and possibly even
