Aside from being a reliable source of quality holiday horror entertainment over the past year and a half, Hulu’s feature film anthology series Into the Dark has low-key become an inclusive showcase for women of color, who have starred in at least one-third of the episodes so far, including...

Black filmmakers have taken a prominent role in the horror parody genre, from the Wayans brothers' Scary Movie franchise to Marlon Wayans' A Haunted House movies.
