Welcome to a special bonus episode of So Here's What Happened's Talks segment! On this episode LaNeysha' at SXSW and sits down the creators of the teenage horror-comedy, Snatchers; Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman & Scott Yacyshyn for an in-depth look and discussion about their film. 

Snatcher, is a horror-comedy film about friendship, self-worth, and aliens that feels like the perfect amalgamation of Mean Girls, Gremlins, Alien, and Shaun of the Dead. The film made it's feature-length premiere at SXSW this year, and it did not disappoint the horror comedy nerd in me.

Welcome to another episode of Carolyn Talks!

Based on the book Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films from the 1890s to Present, by Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman, directed by Xavier Burgin, co-written by Ashlee Blackwell, and executive produced by Tananarive Due, Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror is a documentary that looks at the depiction of Black people in over a century of horror movies.

The film is essential viewing for everyone who loves film, and not just the horror genre, because it gives the perspective of actors and directors about their experiences, and how film impacts the lives of Black people. Black actors and directors have always had to struggle with finding roles, and support for projects that centered the voice and experiences of Black people in film. Even in the 70s when films like Blacula was gaining attention in the Blaxploitation era, they still had to contend with racial and gender stereotyping.
