Watching a horror movie every day of October, again! Had fun doing this last year so I wanted to try again.
Day One: Tales from the Crypt. (1972)
Fun premise, I love a good anthology film. The first Santa story was genuinely the scariest to me, but they were all solid stories and went surprisingly dark. I’m trying to rank all of them, but I don’t think I can, they were all really good.
Day Two: The People Under the Stairs. (1991)
I’ve heard this film being called the Get Out of the 80s, and I definitely see why. I loved the whole movie, but I think the first half is definitely better and more tense. I liked the dynamic between Fool and Leroy. The second half of the film was more comedic but I can’t complain, I’m glad it had a happy ending.
Day Three: The Ruins. (2008)
I read the book this was based on recently, and thought it would be really hard to adapt that as a film… and I was right. Changes are bound to happen, especially with a book as brutal as this, but the changes were stupid. The characters in the books are all annoying but realistic, and I was still rooting for them and liked them, because Scott Smith really put you in your head. I was scared of the plants in the book, but not so much with the film. The vines in the film are more aggressive, which makes them less threatening than they are in the books oddly enough. There’s no tension or dawning sense of doom when you realize the vines are just playing with these people. They also made the Mayans more stupid and aggressive, which was pointless and I hated. In the books they’re clearly not enjoying this and tried their best to save these idiots, they have a system and unfortunately have to do this. Didn’t like the change in ending, and don’t get why they changed so many characters fates and roles. The ending was so dumb, apparently there’s an alternate ending but that’s also dumb. I probably wouldn’t have liked this movie any more than if I hadn’t read the book, but it’s even worse knowing what it’s based on.

why so (??? idk) ridiculous… same vibe as Grabber in the scene where he walks towards Robin in a RED TUNIC LIKE A STRIPPER.
i mean… why villains in slasher films are often portrayed as... GLAMOROUS PERVERTS.
P. S. i was too lazy to make a screenshot from "The Black Telephone", but here I attached the art (taken from Pinterest), so... yeah!

This September, I started watching the Amazon Prime series Harlan Coben's Shelter, starring Jaden Michael (Vampires vs. The Bronx and The Get Down). During that time, I started thinking about horror films starring Black Teenage Protagonists. Was it in any better a state than science fiction for Black teens? I've only just started my research (well, browser searches, really), and the end result of unsurprisingly similar to the state of the teen science fiction genre. The number of horror films starring Black protagonists has increased since the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, for sure. The representation of stories has certainly gotten more and more specific, yes.  But the focus is almost always on adults or 20 twentysomethings.
So, like before: The following list is a collection of horror and thriller/mystery films that feature Black teenagers as the protagonists of stories that would typically exclude them or see them play second fiddle to white or non-Black leads.
