What Do We Really Need From Black Horror?

Antebellum (2020) Janelle Monáe in Antebellum (2020)

Black horror should not carry the responsibility of turning 400 years of racial trauma into something equally accessible to white and Black audiences. It should be for a Black horror-loving audience first and foremost.

Hartley Sawyer in The Flash (2014)

Considering the climate and just the gross things that were said, and how recently it happened, the exit made sense. But the question remaining was what to do with the character of Ralph Dibny, who he'd portrayed for several seasons.
