And although hes down with the chills and thrills, hes really all about the humanity of the genre.

Bartees Strange’s new album, ‘Horror,’ is scary goodElizabeth De La Piedra*

I started watching horror movies as a way to train myself to be good at being scared.

Then I fell in love with them.

The vibe of the movie was the coolest thing about it.

Things that I would talk to a therapist about I realized that thats what the songs were becoming about.

Strange connects that idea finding a place in a world full of terrors to films like Peeles.

I can totally see myself in those movies, he says.

I live that shit.

Like, I have definitely been the Black boyfriend….
