The Black Guy Dies First

The “black guy dies first” line has become shorthand for a long-standing, maddening expectation in American horror: Black characters show up, they warn us of danger (or crack a joke), and then, too often, get dispatched before the final credits roll. That shorthand isn’t just a punchline; it’s a pattern with roots in Hollywood’s representational habits, and it carries cultural meaning about expendability, narrative function, and who is allowed to survive fear on screen.

The Rise of Coogler

Ryan Coogler’s career is often described as meteoric, but his rise as a filmmaker is also a testament to vision, discipline, and collaboration.

In the horrific adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie , the 1976 film dives into the life of shy, non-confrontational, and nonviolent (at the time) Carrie White. Carrie is portrayed as a teen with little experience in social settings, which makes her vulnerable to being picked on and bullied in different ways. “No, it’s not that I don’t like to speak up for myself, I’m just super non-confrontational.” That’s not a statement you should live by, babe.

Editors Note

The Ghoul’s Gazette has been a true passion project, months in the making and filled with creativity, care, and intention. From the very beginning, I wanted to craft a mini issue that celebrated a full cast of POC talent, addressing the deep-rooted underrepresentation that has shaped so much of visual culture. This project became a space to honor culturally specific stories, identities, and aesthetics that are often overlooked, while reimagining the eerie, the haunting, and
