PAUL WINFIELD
In his 40yrs long career (from SOUNDER to miniseries KING to TERMINATOR, to list a few), Paul has gifted us w his talent & stage presence. His Lucien Celine in Craven THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW gets him a deserved spot in #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #Day3
TALES FROM THE HOOD
Directed by Rusty Cundieff & exec-produced by Spike Lee in 1995, this black horror anthology, hosted by Clarence Williams III, collects some of the most genuinely creepy stories/visuals I've seen in any horror movie. #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

FRED WILLIAMSON
Also known as The Hammer, Fred started his career as a professional football player in the 60s & then went on a successful acting career, in movies & TV, from crime flicks to horror (like Robert Rodriguez's FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #Day5
CYNTHIA BOND
Author & novelist @CynthiaBond (she also taught writing to homeless & at risk youth for years at the LA LGBT Center) had a small foray in movies in 1990 with James Bond III's excellent Horror DEF BY TEMPTATION. Recommended! #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

TOMMY LISTER JR.
Mostly known as Pres. Lindberg in THE FIFTH ELEMENT, character actor & pro-wrestler Tommy 'Tiny' Lister has been in several horror movies (from PRISON to DRACULA 3000). He left us too soon (62) this past Dec due to Covid #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #Day7
JOHN BOYEGA
Love John Boyega & love this movie! His Moses in 2011's sci-fi/horror ATTACK THE BLOCK (directed by Joe Cornish) was one of the best movie debuts in the genre. The sequences in the hallways & ambulance still creep me out!

BLACK EVIL DOLL FROM HELL
Before CHUCKY (1988) and ANNABELLE (2014), there was the BLACK EVIL DOLL FROM HELL (1984), a Blaxploitation Horror movie written, produced, & directed by Chester Novell Turner on the meager budget of only $10K! #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

DIAHANN CARROLL
Tony and Golden Globe Awards award winner and The Academy award nominated actress, singer, model, & activist Diahann Carroll starred as fortune teller/witch Elzora in the excellent EVE'S BAYOU (1997) directed by Kasi Lemmons. #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #Day10
JOVAN ADEPO
Between HBO's THE LEFTOVERS & Watchmen and the recent adaptation of Stephen King's THE STAND, Jovan Adepo starred as the hero in the WW2/horror movie OVERLORD (2018) directed by Julius Avery & produced by Bad Robot #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

ERNIE HUDSON
From the Ghostbusters movie franchise (looking forward to the new one!) to THE CROW to George P. Cosmatos' LEVIATHAN to the TALES FROM THE CRYPT TV show and everything in between, Ernie Hudson deserves a spotlight in this #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #Day12
