I’ve never seen a #Terrifier film BECAUSE people have been saying since 2018 that the violence against women in those films is gratuitous and unnecessary. And now I definitely never will. Watching “Sinners” for the 5th or 6th time instead 🧛🏽 #BlackHorror #HorrorMovies

I’m not ready to let Halloween go, so here’s a shoutout to the Black musicians in “Little Shop of Horrors”! Not a traditional Halloween movie, BUT a great horror-comedy with amazing Black talent: Tichina Arnold, Michelle Weeks, Tisha Campbell, AND Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops. #BlackHorror #Motown

I haven’t forgotten about the use of the n word in Shaun of the Dead🌚

Apparently, I now get thunderstorm-induced migraines 🫠 I HAVE LIVED IN NEW ORLEANS FOR LIKE 90% OF MY LIFE. WHY IS THIS STARTING NOW?!? This feels anti-Black. JFC 🤦🏽‍♀️ #ChronicIllness #Fibromyalgia #NewOrleans

This is disappointing and absolutely disgusting. From the Gambit: “Living on the street or in other public spaces would be banned in almost any situation under a new bill authored by New Orleans Democratic Rep. Alonzo Knox [owner of Backatown Coffee].” #NewOrleans #Local #CommunityCare

Y’all I swear, I get the best ideas for my scary stories when I’m falling asleep 🔪Usually around 1:00 or so 2:00 in the morning. Must be the sleep demons helping me with my writing career. #HorrorSky #BlackHorror

I’m SO excited for #SinnersMovie coming out next week! Ryan Coogler talking about the film they shot it on was fascinating.

This is so wild, especially given the LONG history of Black children on the front lines of both racialized violence AND civil rights protests. In 1963, young people in Birmingham, AL organized and marched in the Children’s Crusade. Many of them were assaulted by police and arrested. #HandsOff

My hot take about Heretic: the story would have a lot more power if Mr. Reed were a church elder or just a Christian man. Making him an occultist/atheist seems like a cheap shot. Christian men do more harm than atheists. Atheists want Christians to leave them alone. #HorrorSky #HorrorMovie #Heretic

I found one of my favorite childhood books at the Community Book Center! Plus this really exciting compilation of Black Gulf Coast folktales collected by Thee Zora Neale Hurston. AND they have a shop cat!!! If you’re in New Orleans, go support them 💜 #BlackNewOrleans #BlackBookSky #BlackHistory
