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 slasher of all slashers. its a classic that defines a lot of the genre
One of my favorite X-mas horrors! I watch it every year! Classic.
💀💀💀💀💀 I missed this classic, growing up. This movie just goes to show, that no matter how old, a well-done horror movie can be entertaining. The vulgar humor was hilarious! I also appreciated the fact that the cops were almost competent.
This is such a fantastic holiday horror film and has an underrated cast. I was left with some questions at the end but overall, it keeps you engaged and caring about the characters.
fun holiday horror
