In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Holiday horror is a mixed bag. For every acknowledged gem (Rare Exports, Better Watch Out), there exist some seriously awful yuletide tales (Santa Claws, To All A Good Night). Occasionally though, a film will get it so right that it establishes a template for the films that followed. Such is the case with the cult classic BLACK CHRISTMAS(1974). Criminally overlooked, this film by Bob Clark is typically recognized for establishing some of the most well-known tropes of the slasher genre. But it is its transgressive female characters that really steal the show and leave us asking why these characterizations didn’t become the standard. In this Horror Homeroom Conversation, we’re kicking it back to 1974 with the ultimate holiday horror film, BLACK CHRISTMAS and considering how the depictions of women in horror might be different had this film had gone mainstream. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/horror-homeroom/support
