Ezra Clayton Daniels & Ben Passmore - BTTM FDRS

I really enjoyed this graphic novel a whole lot - a lot of great stuff about the nature of gentrification and art, all set in a world that seems to have a vibe somewhat akin to John Carpenter or David Cronenberg. I dunno, rather than talk about it - here’s a little spoiler-free sample that I really enjoyed:

below the cut you’ll find a list of suggested faceclaims to help those of you who are having difficulty deciding on a fc for your characters.

remember that unless an fc has been labelled problematic by the general rpc or is on our banned list we’re more than happy to accept them - faceclaims are secondary to the actual characters themselves.

besides this list there is also the INDIGENOUS FCS WITH RESOURCES DIRECTORY by oliviarph & evansyhelp’s FACECLAIM DIRECTORY TAG filled with helpful posts and suggestions.

Blog Post #3

"Pressure”(Ezra Clayton Daniels) "The Most Strongest Obeah Woman of the World"(Nalo Hopkinson), Ouanga/Love Wanga (1936) Candyman (dir. Bernard Rose) Candyman (dir. Nia DaCosta)

I lived in Chicago from 2010 to 2022, during that time I received my undergraduate and began a true deep dive into horror. I had dabbled a little while as a teenager watching what I could find at the time on cable network television primarily Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and Stephen King but not till college …studying photography…taking a Porn and Censorship course … did I watch French Extremist Horror for class and finally think I was brave enough to dig through my schools extensive DVD collection for all the horror I could find.

I found the original Candyman my Junior year, I was still living in the dorms then off State St in the center of the Loop in Chicago. I accidentally had a streak of watching films I didn’t know took place in Chi … I had watched The Relic and then Child’s Play (for the first as an adult) and was shocked to realize both films had been shot just only a few block away from where I was living at the time. That hardly compared to the genuine fear I had watching Candyman and seeing that the architecture of the dorms mimicked that of Cabrini Green and Helen’s Apartment complex - down to the restrooms and the mirrored cabinets that could easily allow access to neighboring dorm rooms.  CHILLS. I had learned a lot about Cabrini through the mandatory Chicago history reading pushed out to all freshmen but hadn’t heard about the movie. 

For me the first film from a white perspective gets the tone right … for the most part, a lot of my rich white and sheltered peers at school looked at Chicago as a predominantly black and brown city and stepped outside either in fear or sought to analyze Chicago as an anthropological research site. So though it may not have been purposeful Bernard Rose paints an experience I lived through like Bernadette working through financial and racist bias within academia while next to white peers who believe they are making groundbreaking work still seated within their white guilt, privilege, and bigotry. Candyman has always been about art, writing, and the historical discourse of redlining, gentrification, hate crimes, and the consumption of the black body and black trauma for white audiences. I once had a screening (24-hour Horror movie marathon) themed around The Lips, The Teeth, The Tip of the Tongue. Link It was split across three days Taste, Chew, Shallow - the last day Swallow I pair Candyman with Ganga and Hess and it opens up a dialogue connecting the two films around martyrdom, transformation, and the use of spiritual transcends.

Nia DaCosta’s spiritual sequel is hands down one of my favorite films. Prior to/during filming I was working at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, had curator friends who lived in the Marina Towers, and had become friends/acquaintances with featured artists in the film. It was so eerie to see my world once again reflected at but now with more knowledge about myself and the world. It was and still is dizzying and nauseating to watch I have rarly experience watching cinema. While also being so powerful narratively, metaphysical, and thematically. Not to mention it boosting the careers of real-life young black artists and cementing their work within the history of Black art and Cinema.

The mirroring structure, the callbacks, the new black perspective on Cabrini, The black female lead, the equality and diversity of the cast (specifically having queer actors play queer roles), the READING of the art world, and the pigeon-holding of black creatives - all brilliant, considered, and still truly terrifying. 

Lastly linking the two films to Pressure also opens up a lot of the same points and I kind of imagine that within his pressured familial environment may reflect some of the same insecurities and concerns Anthony may have that lead to a different type of internal dismantling and enviable combustion.

Blog Post #3 

I enjoyed watching the 2020 Candyman more than the 1992 Candyman. The 1992 Candyman storyline used microaggressions and racism to villainize a Black man—Candyman—while using White savior tropes when Helen saves Cabrini-green.  A notable theme that was highlighted in the 2020 film, surrounded racial injustices such as police brutality against Black men. The 2020 Candyman describes that the original Candyman, a Black man named Sherman Fields, was brutally beaten by White police officers after being wrongfully accused of putting razor blades in children’s candy. Additionally, when Anthony is shot by police because they assume he killed Burke, this incident further emphasizes racial profiling and police brutality against Black people. In the 1992 Candyman, I noticed that there was familiar imagery from Birth of a Nation, surrounding harmful tropes like Black men violently going after White women.  One aspect of this week’s film that I found most striking was how Professor Due differentiates both films by explaining that the 1992 Candyman was Black trauma expressed through a white lens and the 2020 Candyman was Black trauma through a Black lens. For example, Jordan Peele’s Candyman highlights Black individuals in a respectable light like avoiding the unnecessary murder of Black people and Candyman not murdering Black characters, whereas the original Candyman does. I think that these differences reflect the social climate of the United States relating to racial justice as well as Black filmmakers having increasingly dominant roles in filmmaking. Black filmmakers can portray Black characters through a Black lens which avoids recirculating harmful racial tropes.

This week we also discussed a short story called “Pressure” by Ezra Clayton Daniels. “Pressure” is a science fiction, horror story that follows a biracial protagonist who visits his White family when strange and unnatural events happen as a result of his racist family. Daniels highlights the protagonist’s feelings of isolation while visiting his White family. He used Ezra’s relationship with the family dog, Scamper to shed light on his isolation as a Black man in a white family stating the dog was “...[his] entire support network in the years that your alienation first began to feel specific and namable”. Additionally, Andrew’s fascination with Ezra’s cocobutter and Ezra hiding it signifies his feelings of otherness and isolation from his White family. After Andrew is fascinated with the cocoa butter, the cocoa butter explodes in his bag. I think that this moment is important to highlight because when his feeling of otherness is at an all-time high, the pressure-building begins. I think that the horror of this mysterious pressure that puts their lives at risk, accompanied by his relative's racism represents the real-life horror of racism and otherness for Black individuals. I also theorized that this combustion could represent the build-up of racism and family isolation that Ezra experiences throughout his whole life, which is finally being released.

The People Under The Stairs Remake Is Happening!

Jordan Peele's production company, Monkeypaw Productions, is set to produce a remake of Wes Craven's 1991 horror film The People Under the Stairs. The screenplay for the remake will be written by Ezra Clayton Daniels, known for his work on "Doom Patrol" and "Night Sky". The original film follows a young boy who breaks into the home of his family's greedy landlords and discovers a disturbing scenario where incestuous adult siblings have mutilated a number of boys and kept them imprisoned under the stairs in their large, creepy house. The remake is still in early development, and it remains unclear if Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld will have a hand in the writing process. The People Under the Stairs is considered a horror classic and is known for its social commentary about stolen resources and the over-policing of marginalized communities. The original film was written and directed by Wes Craven and featured a young Black protagonist, making it a rare mainstream studio flick with a focus on social issues and inequality.

As of November 2023, there is not much information available about the plot of the remake of The People Under the Stairs. However, it has been reported that the remake will follow a young boy and two adult robbers who become trapped in a house belonging to a neighborhood's crooked landlords after breaking in to steal their collection of gold coins. The boy learns a dark secret about the landlords and discovers a disturbing scenario where incestuous adult siblings have mutilated a number of boys and kept them imprisoned under the stairs in their large, creepy house. It remains to be seen how the remake will differ from the original, but it is being produced by Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions and written by Ezra Clayton Daniels.
