Horror Noire trailer: Shudder anthology film is coming to DVD this month

In 2019, the Shudder streaming service released the documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror – and RLJE Films later gave the documentary a Blu-ray and DVD release, so you can buy a copy HERE. Based on a book by Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman, Horror Noire “traced the untold history of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to the horror genre”. Last October, Shudder expanded the Horror Noire brand with an anthology film – and now that anthology is set to receive a DVD release on June 28th. In anticipation of the film’s physical media release, we have gotten our hands on a trailer for Horror Noire, and you can check that out in the embed above.

Here’s the information on this Horror Noire:

A new Shudder Original anthology film, Horror Noire is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2019 documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and features new work from both established and emerging talents, showcasing stories of Black horror from Black directors and screenwriters.
