b'We didn\\u2019t want to let Black History Month slip by without recognizing the best black horror film characters. Obviously, this is actually a countdown and podcast we could have done at any time, but any particular excuse to talk about William Marshall must be taken!\\n\\nRegardless of the (far too often proven) cliche that the token black character in any horror film is simply the first victim, there are many amazing characters and actors worth celebrating in this list. The all time kickass Pam Grier stars as a voodoo practitioner in Scream Blacula Scream (1973), Morgan Freeman brings his characteristic gravitas to the role of mentor cop and general smartypants in Seven (1995). Wesley Snipes combined vampire and badass in the Blade trilogy, as did Grace Jones in Vamp (1986) \\u2013 and these are just a few of the candidates we will not be mentioning.\\n\\nNope, instead we present you with the five best black characters in horror.'
