Black Christmas
Directed by Bob Clark
During a festive Yuletide party, a group of sorority sisters receive a creepy call from someone who claims he’s going to kill them all. The girls soon realize the threats were serious, when one by one, they each fall prey to the mysterious maniac. After directing two relatively ignored horror flicks which later became cult classics (CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS & DEATHDREAM), a Christmas miracle made Bob Clark’s 1974 classic a hit. A huge influence on John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN, BLACK CHRISTMAS is frequently credited with helping spawn the slasher subgenre.
This horror classic about a killer stalking sorority girls on Xmas helped spawn the slasher genre.
Cast: Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder

The first and ultimate thrill ride down the Slash with Panache Ride. This movie was the first of the calls are coming from inside the house, all the classic protagonists. And let’s not forget that ‘eye’ scene. Scream Queens Margot Kidder & Olivia Hussey, Andrea Martin & Lynne Griffin with Horror Royalty John Saxon & Keith Dullea.
Me gusto mucho!!
Iconic 70s Slasher which deffo doesn't get enough recognition.
If you couldn’t tell from every other comment here, this is an absolute classic and if you haven’t watched it yet or in a long time, this is your sign to watch it now. Olivia Hussey is great and it doesn’t have to be Christmas to enjoy it.
Even though you probably know the ending, Bob Clark’s masterful execution leaves you with a genuine chill as the credits roll.
