The article has no examples to actually proof the thesis. What are the famoust/best rassicst horror movies?
Answer:: Because the article is not discussing explicitly racist horror movies, but racial undertones and stereotyping within horror movies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lachielmao ( talk • contribs) 11:02, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
This article could easily become a racist rant, rather than an encyclopaedia article that deals with a genuine issue. Rwood128 ( talk) 17:48, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
A further clarification, because this way of communicating can be clumsy, and my original comment could have been better phrased! I was not saying that the article was racist, just that the tone was not quite right for an encyclopaedia. I found the topic interesting, even though I have no interest in horror movies.

It also strikes me that this is, understandably, particularly focussed on the USA. What about Japanese horror or Chinese horror films? Rwood128 ( talk) 13:41, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm really new here as well, I really don't know how to edit Wikipedia. But someone more experienced should definitely fix this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.118.177.2 ( talk) 18:07, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
I think this page needs a major overhaul. These are some (but not all) of the problems I've seen:
So yeah, if anybody has any feedback to my critiques, that'd be great. Also, I'm fairly new here, so sorry if my comment is too all over the place. Riffraff913 ( talk) 00:50, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
I found the major problem with this article is that it subtly uses original thought, specifically in the first few sentences of the section "White Dominated World", in which some of the ideas I believe are exaggerations of the source, such as "The stories in horror films are very central to white culture and lifestyle", which was not supported by the source and there are plenty of other cultures to which horror films are central to. Better wording perhaps such as "horror films are based on experiences of the white culture and lifestyle" is more appropriate. Furthermore the source used for this statement is a blog post by Ariel Smith about her personal experiences which isn't valid for factual information. —— Preceding unsigned comment added by Fisa2702 ( talk • contribs) 02:28, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa ( talk) 18:20, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Racism in horror films → Race in horror films – Naming the article "race" rather than "racism" expands the scope of the article. This means the article can more broadly discuss representation in horror films and how it has changed over time, rather than just solely on racist stereotypes. A similar move was made for Misogyny in horror films to Gender in horror films. I'd also be happy with "Horror films and race" as a potential title. Arcahaeoindris ( talk) 14:16, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
