Story highlights Peele said he got the idea during the Obama administrationHe knows fans miss Key & Peele(CNN) For horror movie fan Jordan Peele, there is nothing scarier than racism. "I look at racism as a monster," Peele said. The actor, known for his work as part of the comedic duo Key & Peele, has channeled his love of horror films into his writing/directorial debut, "Get Out," which opens Friday. "I came up with this idea during the Obama administration, when we were living in this era of the post-racial lie," Peele told CNN. So Peele sat down to write it, never believing the film would be made.
