Just watched #Candyman. I'd loved the original; the sequel is also excellent. Vanquishing of horror monsters as necessary for healing, an idea expressed in the online material accompanying the film, is quite interesting. Why is it only Black horror where the status quo is what's horrifying? I've tried to do this in other contexts in several short stories, but none have sold yet. Why is the conservatism, the comforting return to the status quo after defeating the outsider, so expected in horror?
