When comedian Kyle Grooms worked for Univision, he joked he was the only black man in the entire company and admitted he felt more like a mascot — “el negrito” — and less like an employee. That was more than ten years ago, when Grooms was holding a 9-to-5 as…

“Do y’all mind hanging back? You’re jamming my frequencies.” Thus speaks the psychic medium Tangina as she tries to vanquish the spirits who’ve been terrorizing a suburban family in 1982’s perennial scare fest, Poltergeist. Eight-year-old Carol Anne, whose early warning — “They’re here” — went unheeded by her parents, has…

The south tip of the USA has always been possessed: South Florida greed, South Florida debauchery, the mayhem. The Sunshine State can be dark, horrific, and haunting — and so will be the War Memorial on Friday and Saturday. The Village of Horrors has gotten inspiration from many dreadful places…

Colby Katz’s discomfiting solo show, “Forever Babies,” on view at Carol Jazzar Contemporary Art, has to rank right up there with the ghoul’s petrified paw paintings in terms of the creep factor.
