Noire Terror is a playlist honoring Black Horror Films and African-American artists who enjoy making eerie music. Most likely you’ll remember hearing some of these songs from classic films like Candyman, Blade, Blacula, and Us with witch energy fillers from some of my favorite artists. Enjoy the folktale and spooky-story vibes…this playlist should help bring more life to your Halloween night. Mwahahahahah (Thriller laugh)!
