Actor and comedian Jermaine Fowler, who calls himself a "horror movie fanatic," talks to Salon's D. Watkins about working with the talented cast of Tim Story's "The Blackening"— a horror film that seeks to flip the genre on its head. Fowler shares that the cast, which includes Yvonne Orji, Jay Pharoah and Sinqua Walls, were so funny they all needed a code word to remind them to focus. Fowler also names some of his favorite horror movies and shares what it means to see Black horror films like "Get Out," "Us," and now, "The Blackening" become breakout successes.
