01
Sugar Hill
Why this pick
Another fiercely stylish 1970s Black horror film, it pairs a determined heroine with voodoo-fuelled supernatural retaliation and the same enjoyably lurid exploitation-horror charge.

02
The Manitou
Why this pick
Directed by Abby’s William Girdler, this delivers similarly unabashed occult spectacle, escalating possession-like horror, and a fast, sensational B-movie rhythm.
03
Eve's Bayou
Why this pick
For a more atmospheric and emotionally intricate variation, its Southern Black family setting and spiritual undercurrents create an ominous, intimate supernatural mood.
04
Ganja & Hess
Why this pick
It shares Abby’s era and Black-centred horror terrain, but replaces its punchy possession shocks with dreamlike imagery, spiritual unease, and a far more experimental rhythm.
05
Candyman
Why this pick
Its urban Black-community setting, potent supernatural mythology, and serious sense of social dread offer a more polished but still haunting route from Abby’s blend of horror and identity.
