31 Days of Black Women In Horror: Week 4

Ganja & Hess (1973) – Starring Marlene Clark

After getting stabbed with an ancient knife, an archaeologist becomes a vampire in this Black indie horror classic starring ‘Night of the Living  Dead’’s Duane Jones. Made during the era when campy films like ‘Blacula’ and ‘Abby’ were the only offerings for Black horror fans, Bill Gunn’s atmospheric vampire movie offered a rich alternative.
