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

A must-watch every holiday season. The horror is crafted to perfection with an ending that will leave you feeling both defeated and extremely satisfied.
Dang! Hidden gem!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: THE. . . BEST. . . CHRISTMAS. . . HORROR MOVIE. . . EVER!
One of a relatively small number of horror films that is genuinely frightening, aided in large part by the sound of wind rushing throughout the tale . Joined by a killer that remains completely invisible even as the film ends, while being closely present every moment the film takes place.
Fun!
