Blackspace x RN Horror Collective present: Durham Youth 💀 Horror Movie Night Series
RN Horror Collective is a Black-led group of horror-movie enthusiasts founded in 2023 by adult mentors Lance Scott and Pierce Freelon, alongside youth leaders Zack “Zone” Woodard and Justice Freelon. What began as a shared screening of Talk to Me has grown into a community space for exploring Black representation, storytelling, and emotional release through horror cinema.
In partnership with Blackspace, a Durham-based Afrofuturist digital makerspace, RN Horror Collective is hosting a series of chaperoned movie nights for youth aged 14-24 supported by the City of Durham Youth Leadership Fund.
Blackspace mentors will be present to supervise.
⚠️Be advised: some films will be rated R, we recommend mature youth
🎟️ Tickets and snacks will be purchased by Blackspace for youth aged 14-24 only (while funds last)
🚗 Parents/guardians are responsible for drop-off and pick-up
🧑🧑🧒Parents/gaurdians are welcome to join, but you will have to buy your own tickets!
