Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night, or is your idea of fun staying up late and watching scary movies?

If you fancy a diabolical date with your boo, a ghoulish girls’ night out or a Friday fright night by your bad self, here are a couple new creep shows to add to your cringeworthy watch list: Nicole, a campy, Black woman-led horror flick about a first date gone terribly wrong, currently streaming on Amazon Prime, and writer-director Justin Simien’s hair-raising tale Bad Hair (airing on Hulu Oct. 23), featuring Vanessa Williams, Lena Waithe, Kelly Rowland and Laverne Cox as a killer hairstylist. 

Still need more sinister chills and thrills? Pour a glass of liquid courage or a mocktail Bloody Mary and test your knowledge of our favorite horror films featuring Black folks. Fun fact: We’re not always the unwitting victims and sacrificial lambs. Sometimes we’re the ones doing the slashing, bashing and monster mashing!
