Summary

Tananarive Due understands horror. She’s written it, she’s studied it, she teaches about it at UCLA in a class that has Jordan Peele come by to explain his perspective. There’s something unique about Black horror films like Get Out or Candyman—they’re not usually just a madman going around killing. There’s usually some political angle that relates to the challenge of being Black in America. Tananarive talks about this and much more about the art and science of Black horror films including the work of Jordan Peele.
