Exhibition One: Horror

[@Museumnoire @museumnoire]

Welcome to Museum Noire! We are (soon to be) a collection of community focused micro-museums. Our mission is to use captivating artifacts, immersive theatre, and high-quality production to display thought-provoking and interactive exhibits that educate diverse communities.

Love the critique on horror movies and their exclusion of the Black experience. Scream was genius for their critiques of horror.

We watched Body Cam from @hulu this morning. Decent. It’s always rare that the “villain” is a person of color, let alone a woman of color, let alone with a justifiable reason for killing. Good work here @AnikaNoniRose

Check this out!

YOU'RE NEXT is on the mind this week, which works out great for us because we just did a whole episode on it: https://t.co/pIbG3CTwKI

There’s nothing like a horror film on a holiday weekend.

What we’ve watched:
1. Run (@hulu)
2. Don’t Listen (@netflix)

Ladies and gentleman, the incredible Naomi Walder. At just age 11, Naomi grabbed our attention at the March for Our Lives in 2018 reminding us of Black girls who shall never again be forgotten. Her words were the perfect score. #LovecraftCountry

It’s time we celebrate a horror icon, Ken Foree. In the late 70s, filmmakers noticed a rise in consumption of horror films from African-American. In response, filmmakers wanted to capitalize on a market that horror films had forgotten.

You don't have to watch a scary movie to see horror. https://t.co/nSlcOQe5ip

Such a great Halloween film! #VampiresvstheBronx #Halloween2020

Started watching #HisHouse last night. And it’s cinematic, #BlackHorror gold. We are loving through a Black Horror golden age.

Happy Halloween 🎃!!!!!

We're still thinking about #BadHairHulu. "Bad Hair follows a young woman [in 1989] who gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. Her career may come at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a mind of its own."

Antebellum (2020), Black horror film, was released in this month on-demand! Starring Janelle Monaé as successful author Veronica Henley whom finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it's too late.

What were your thoughts?

Ken Foree went on to later star in From Beyond (1986), Rob Zombies HALLOWEEN (2007) and The Devil’s Rejects (2005) and other notable films.

Casting Ken Foree as the lead protagonist in the zombie cult classic, Dawn of the Dead (1985) was not be chance. And for the first time, Black audiences were rooting for a Black character, a good guy, against a mass of zombies.
