Graveyard Shift Sisters: Purging the Black Female Horror Fan From The Margins

womeninhorrormonth:

Please check out http://www.graveyardshiftsisters.com/! It is a one of a kind blog that “aims to celebrate the experiences and achievements of Black women and women of color in the horror community.

We highly recommend you read, share the links with your friends, and help this blog reach a bigger audience. There are so few women of color represented in film making let alone in the horror industry. It extends beyond that- even as fans there is not much space to be visible. Spread this blog around so more women can network/find each other, form community, get their work seen, and gain the recognition deserved!

If you’re feeling threatened, you’re sympathizing with the wrong character.
