In 2019, Shudder released the critically acclaimed documentary feature Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and this October, and fans will get to see the follow-up to that film. Horror Noire is a new project showcasing six new stories from established and emerging talents.
The six stories will be presented together in a Shudder Original anthology film. AMC+ and Shudder presented virtual panels yesterday at Comic-Con@Home, and among them were Horror Noire and the Shudder Original series Creepshow.

The panel was moderated by writer/editor/speaker Ashley C. Ford. It featured anthology writers Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes, Victor LaValle and Shernold Edwards.
