Black creators may (though not always) tackle themes of social justice, ritual and magic, ancestors, and Black survival in their work. But all Black Horror combats the erasure of Black voices in Horror.” D-Rock: -Adult Swim Yule Log (2022) directed by Casper Kelly -Nanny (2022) directed by Nikyatu Jusu -- Amazon Prime -Candyman (2021) directed by Nia DaCosta -- Peacock -His House (2020) directed by Remi Weekes (United Kingdom) -- Netflix -...
