Black horror is a horror subgenre that focuses on African-American characters and narratives. This genre typically has Black creators who often use social and political commentary to explore themes of racism and other lived experiences of Black Americans along with common horror themes and tropes. Early entries in the genre include the Spencer Williams Jr. film Son of Ingagi (1940), and George A. Romero's film Night of the Living Dead (1968), which is considered one of the first Black horror films featuring Black actor Duane Jones as its lead. Blaxploitation horror films of the 1970s, namely Blacula (1972), and the vampire film Ganja & Hess (1973) became prominent examples of the genre in the 1970s. Other examples appeared during the 1990s, notably the 1992 Bernard Rose film Candyman and the 1995 anthology film Tales from the Hood, which was directed by Rusty Cundieff and has been described as the "godfather of Black horror".
