"It's a blessed condition, believe me": Images of African Americans in horror cinema #1.

Throughout February, ANTSS will be running images that reflect - for better or worse - the image of African Americans in horror cinema.

Poster for The Devil's Daughter, 1939.

Stuff: I wonder what makes Godzilla tick. I wonder if he'd be interested in knowing what makes me tick.

Flickr poster "Modern Fred" has a spiffy gallery of kaiju related art up, including a set of cut-away anatomical pics showing just how these massive monsters keep on the go.

The set also includes several made of 100% pure awesome vintage giant-monster movie posters from Japan.

Now all we need is one of those butcher's charts that shows you where each cut can be found. Just where are the flank steaks on Godzilla? Gorgo's brisket? The demanding gourmand needs to know!

Stuff: And then the disembodied hand kicks into a big musical number . . .

Links to an archive of Bollywood horror film posters have been popping up around the net. I have no idea what any of these movies are about or whether or not they are any good. Despite that, many of the images are cool in a raw, sideshow banner sort of way.

If these images spark any curiosity about the horror output of Bollywood, you might also find this capsule history of Bollywood horror, with an extensive collection of Bolly-horror reviews, worth your attention. Of special interest are the paragraphs on the Ramsey Brothers, who the article credits with defining the Indian B-movie horror genre.

Special thanks to Hulver site regular ad hoc for leading me to these subcontinental scares.
