In our 13th episode of Rectangles Podcast, we dive deep into the world of Black Horror — a genre that’s more than just jump scares and monsters. From Candyman to Get Out, we explore how fear, trauma, and resistance intertwine in stories told through a Black lens.


Nick and Jan unpack the social commentary behind the screams — how Black filmmakers have redefined horror as both reflection and rebellion. We talk Jordan Peele’s psychological precision, Nia DaCosta’s fresh vision, and even those under-seen gems that helped shape the genre long before Hollywood caught up.


Expect laughs, sharp takes, and a little discomfort — the good kind. Because when it comes to Black Horror, the real horror isn’t always on screen.
