31 Days of Black Women In Horror: Week 5

BONUS: Short Films

There was one week where I was going to add Hair Wolf to the list. It’s a short film on HBO about the gentrification terrorizing a salon in Brooklyn. Really good, but only 15 minutes, so, I didn’t include it in the previous weeks. Now that we’re at the end, I thought it would be a nice bonus to share some Horror short films that feature Black women in the lead. S/O to Hulu and their annual Huluween showcase.
