In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Today's special guest is someone we've been hoping to chat with since we first launched our show at the start of 2020, as we've been fans of his work ever since our local bookseller Greg Schauer sang the praises of GHOST ROAD BLUES many years ago. With the latest release in his NECROTEK novel series from Blackstone Publishing recently released (as part of the Weird Tales Presents series), we're thrilled to welcome special guest Jonathan Maberry to the pod! Following his debut Pine Deep trilogy, Jonathan has written over fifty novels (including his long-running Joe Ledger thriller series), comics, had his series V-WARS adapted into a Netflix series, become a 5-time Bram Stoker Award-winner, 4-time Scribe Award winner and won an Inkpot Award. We're so delighted to chat a bit with Jonathan today about John Campbell's short story "Who Goes There?" (and its many cinematic adaptations), and the elements that inspired portions of his latest novel NECROTEK: COLD WAR. With this episode releasing around November 10th of 2025, we'd like to mention that Jonathan has an online masterclass WRITING AND SELLING SHORT STORIES coming up on November 22nd. Tickets for the three-hour class are $50, with all proceeds benefiting no-kill animal shelters and providing meals for school children. You can find more details on Jonathan's social media accounts, which are all listed on his Linktree account here: https://linktr.ee/jonathan_maberry If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: http://www.letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!
