A horror satire that comes in a timely fashion. The stereotype that the African-American character has to die first in a horror movie has inspired the horror satire “The Blackening,” which features […]
The Blackening
The Boogeyman

Scream VI
Live from New York, it’s Ghostface! “Scream VI,” once again directed by Radio Silence, continues this meta horror franchise where the characters continue to acknowledge they’re in a franchise. And as if […]
