Director's Statement: The Legend of William Boucher
Horror cinema has given us Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers—but where are the Black faces of fear? "The Legend of William Boucher" addresses this glaring absence by introducing a new icon of terror, one rooted in the rich supernatural traditions that mainstream horror has systematically overlooked.
Cultural Authenticity and Representation. Walter Curry Jr created the story and allowed us to bring it to life.
Working alongside Mylissa, I've drawn from my Caribbean heritage and authentic Voodoo practices to create something that transcends typical horror tropes. This isn't representation for its own sake—it's about expanding the very language of horror cinema. William Boucher emerges as a supernatural force born from Black folklore and spiritual traditions, offering audiences a new mythology of fear that honors centuries of cultural wisdom.
