BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 12: MILES CATON
Actor/singer Miles Caton starred in SINNERS as Samuel "Sammie" Moore, Smoke and Stack's cousin, a sharecropper and aspiring blues musician. He performed all his songs in the movie, including the mesmerizing "I LIED TO YOU" #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Portrait of Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim in Sinners

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 11: DELROY LINDO
One of my favorite actors ever, Delroy Lindo has been nominated for his 1st-ever Academy Award in Best Supporting Actor for his role as Delta Slim in SINNERS at the age of 73. So happy to see his talent finally recognized #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Portrait of Omar Benson Miller as Corndog in SINNERS

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 10: OMAR BENSON MILLER
Continuing my SINNERS tributes with Omar Benson Miller as Corndog, the sharecropper turned bouncer for one (last) night. His part (after the "break") was genuinely one of the creepier moments in the movie #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Portrait of Wunmi Mosaku as Annie in SINNERS

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 9: WUNMI MOSAKU
With SINNERS nominated for an historic number of Oscars (16!) this weekend, I'll be paying tributes to this movie all week long, starting with the extraordinary Wunmi Mosaku (LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, HIS HOUSE, & more) as ANNIE. #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Portrait of Lil Rel Lowery as the TSA agent Rod Williams in GET OUT

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 7: LIL REL LOWERY
“I’m TS-motherf*ckin’-A. We handle shit. That’s what we do. Consider this situation f*ckin’ handled.” We all should be lucky to have a friend looking out for us like Lil Rel Lowery's Rod in Jordan Peele's GET OUT (2017) #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Alternative poster for the movie US with Lupita Nyong'o holding her face between her hands, a silhouette of scissors in the middle and paper-dolls over-imposed.

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 6: US
After the phenomenal horror debut with GET OUT (2017), writer/director extraordinaire Jordan Peele consolidated his presence in the genre w/ the twilightzonesque US (2019) starring an incredible Lupita Nyong'o in the main dual role. #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Joe De Sue as the monster in Blackenstein

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 5: BLACKENSTEIN
After the success of BLACULA (1972), the idea of a blacksploitation take on those classic horror icons brought us BLACKENSTEIN (THE BLACK FRANKENSTEIN), directed by William A. Levey, and starring Joe De Sue as the Monster. #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Portrait of Tom Wright as zombie Martin Ezekiel Moorehouse, a city councilman and black rights activist that gets killed by dirty cops but comes back to get his revenge. Tom did also his own stunts in Creepshow 2 as the hitchhiker

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 4: TOM WRIGHT
Tom has been in a ton of movies and tv shows and he has gifted us two memorable horror performances, coincidentally both zombie-sque: the Hitchhiker in CREEPSHOW 2 (1987) & Martin Moorehouse in TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995) #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 3: T.K. CARTER
Today I had to tribute another great actor from one of my favorite movies, @thehorrormaster.bsky.social THE THING (1982), who sadly passed away last month. T.K.'s rollerskating chef Nauls to the tune of SUPERSTITION was 👨🏾‍🍳👌🏾 #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Portrait of Keke Palmer as Em

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 2: KEKE PALMER

A portrait of Grady Demond Wilson as Lamont Sanford from the tv show.

BLACK HORROR MONTH 2026 ~ Day 1
After a break, I'm back showcasing Black Excellence in Movies & TV. Kicking off this 5th #BlackHorrorMonth w a tribute to DEMOND WILSON who passed away 2 days ago. I grew up w his SANFORD&SON but he also starred in 1981's campy horror FULL MOON HIGH #BlackHistoryMonth

A collage of almost 100 portraits of black actors starring in horror movies from the 30s to today.
