5 Feet of Fury

My kind of Black History Month post: “I’m a black man, and I love horror movies”

writes Mark H. Harris:

“So why would I be so drawn to a genre known for killing off my own? Maybe it validates my suspicion that white people want us dead. Maybe it affirms a sort of racial indignation, like when that S.O.B. Reilly didn’t hold the elevator for you at work (‘I knew he was a racist!”) More likely it’s the sheer camp factor; black horror genocide has reached such proportions that there’s a goofy appeal to it all. Or maybe I just like watching black people die…”

He’s also the guy behind the exhaustive BlackHorrorMovies.com


God, the only thing worse than having Ray Milland as your dad is having him surgically attached to your right shoulder.

PS: there really was a Zebra Killer, sort of a black, racially motivated Zodiac except you’ve never heard of him.
