New Poster Revealed For “WELCOME TO THE BLUMHOUSE” Action-Horror Film, ‘BLACK AS NIGHT’

WELCOME TO THE BLUMHOUSE Film, Black as Night, premieres Friday, October 1st on Amazon Prime Video.

The film stars Asjha Cooper (“All American,” “Chicago Med”), Fabrizio Guido (World War Z, “Mr. Iglesias”), Mason Beauchamp (Eat Brains Love, “Filthy Rich”), Frankie Smith (Mudbound, Jeepers Creepers 3), Abbie Gayle (Little, “Looking for Alaska”), Craig Tate (12 Years a Slave, Greyhound) and Keith David (The Thing, They Live). 

Logline: Driven by revenge, a resourceful teenage girl spends her summer with three trusted friends battling the vampires that are terrorizing her hometown of New Orleans.

Short Synopsis: A resourceful teenage girl leaves childhood behind when she battles a group of deadly vampires in Black as Night, an action-horror hybrid with a strong social conscience and a biting sense of humor. Fifteen years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, a new threat leaves its mark on the Big Easy in the form of puncture wounds on the throats of the city’s vulnerable displaced population. When her drug-addicted mom becomes the latest victim of the undead, 15-year-old Shawna (Asjha Cooper) vows to even the score. Along with three trusted friends, Shawna hatches a bold plan to infiltrate the vampires’ mansion in the historic French Quarter, destroy their leader, and turn his fanged disciples back to their human form. But killing monsters is no easy task, and soon Shawna and her crew find themselves caught in a centuries-old conflict between warring vampire factions, each fighting to claim New Orleans as their permanent home.

Black as Night, is a coming-of-age story about vampires with a comedic edge. A unique genre movie with a young woman of color in the lead role. The film also stars Keith David in a role that he’s never played before: a vampire! Playing this role gave David an opportunity to play his own version of Dracula, who just so happens to be one of his all-time favorite characters.

The film addresses important social issues, including the racial injustices Black people have experienced in this country from the days of slavery until today, it addresses life post Hurricane Katrina in the city of New Orleans, and it tackles colorism.

Black as Night is directed by Maritte Lee Go (Phobias, Rise) from a screenplay by Sherman Payne (“Scream: The TV Series,” Charm City Kings).
