Pre-Code films have always been fascinating as they’re often much more layered than what came after the 1934 introduction of the Motion Picture Production Code, aka the Hays Code. Horror films in particular seemed to have more bite to them and tackled subjects in a more subversive way, rarely appearing outright obscene (only to those who deemed the complexities of human beings as obscenities). On the other side, once the Hays Code was enforced, filmmakers were forced to get more creative with subtleties, creating subtexts that often went over the heads of audiences. But before all of this took place—right on the cusp, as a matter of fact—films like Black Moon were released. Today, it’s somewhat forgotten as it’s mostly been unavailable to be seen (legally), but it’s also now seen as quite contentious in its portrayal of Africans natives.
