ScaryCrit: A Black Horror Podcast
ScaryCrit exists to shine a light on the often underappreciated and groundbreaking contributions of Black filmmakers, actors, and storytellers to the horror genre. From classic masterpieces to bone-chilling releases, we're here to celebrate the powerful narratives, cultural influences, and unique perspectives that define Black horror.
Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the genre, our podcast is your guide to discovering hidden gems, exploring social commentary, and embracing the terrifying brilliance of Black folk in horror.
With in-depth analyses and behind-the-scenes insights, our podcast offers a front-row seat to the terror. Tune in every other Thursday as Lauren and Jared unpack Blackness in horror... or the lack-there-of.

On the Page - The Reading (2023)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
And just like that, we've finally made it to the end of season 10! For this season finale, gather 'round the table, lock arms, and open yourself up to J & L's interpretation of 2023's The Reading. There's so much to get into about this film that was on the page (and glaringly left off it) but one thing is clear: horror could be Mo'Nique's second wind and ScaryCrit is all the way here for it.
A huge thank you to our Critters for sticking beside us throughout our jagged prescence throughout the season. Life stay happenin' but we love doing this show and don't take a single listen for granted. And remember, if you have any recommendations for a future Crit, our lines our open.
Thank you all and we'll see you again for Season 11!
